CSIC spin- off will develop flexible carbon-based chips for monitoring sensors

Success stories

The FlexiiC spin-off aims to design system-on-chip (SoC) solutions applied to smart systems and the Internet of Things, and to reinvent the world of electronics through a revolutionary organic and flexible technology that will enable a new generation of sensors and logic circuits processed with functional inks at low temperatures on sustainable substrates. It is a success story of technology transfer from the Barcelona Institute of Microelectronics (IMB-CNM-CSIC), aimed at solving today's societal challenges.

Revolutionary Children's Exoskeleton Developed for Personal Use

Success stories

It has been developed by Marsi Bionics, a technology-based company emerged from the CSIC, with the close collaboration of 15 CSIC researchers and 30 health professionals from four hospitals. The prototype, which is awaiting CE marking prior to its commercialisation, can be used both at home and outdoors, and will allow the integration of children with gait disorders. It will be marketed in the coming months.

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics signs an agreement to develop neurotechnology patented by the CSIC

Success stories
A technology-based company for the development of graphene-based applications for neurological diseases, and founded by researchers from IMB-CNM-CSIC, ICN2 and ICREA, who lead some of the research areas of the Graphene Flagship. The agreement paves the way for further developing and industrialization of patented technology from CSIC, ICN2, ICREA, CIBERBBN, UAB and IDIBAPS.

Christian Blum: “Our hybrid algorithm can be applied to solve real-life optimization problems”

Success stories
Christian Blum, IIIA-CSIC researcher, has been awarded with a SEIO-BBVA Foundation prize for developing a hybrid algorithm that combines metaheuristics and operations research (OR) in a novel way to solve complex problems characterised by many variables and many possible solutions. It can be applied, for example, to problems from the industrial and the educational sector.

Portable device for automatically monitoring presence of radon in buildings

Success stories
The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) has collaborated in the design and development of a prototype for the detection of radon gas, a radioactive gas of natural origin that can be found in buildings. The prototype is the result of the CARE project, led by the company Alibava Systems, and developed by research centres and companies.

An innovative solid state relay, as a result of cooperation between scientists and industry

Success stories
A collaborative project of the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (IMB-CNM) of the CSIC and BSH, a company, has produced an innovative solid state relay for induction cookers. It is made of gallium nitride, a new and promising material for power electronics. This is an example of collaboration between a research centre and a company.
