It is through collaborations with industry that ICIQ’s research has an impact on people’s quality of life. Industrial partners can develop and market products and services derived from the ICIQ’s knowledge and technologies, increasing their competitiveness and creating new qualified jobs.

The collaboration with industry is possible through Contract Research Projects, that makes use of the expertise of a research group or a technology and innovation unit to develop a project proposed by a company; and Joint Units, a dynamic partnership agreement between a company and the centre, allowing accessibility to a fully equipped chemistry laboratory, in addition to possible access to the institution Core Facilities.
