Technological Offer

At ICTP, we know the value of innovation. That is the reason why part of the results of the research conducted in our laboratories is protected by patents that are licensed to industries in different sectors. Our main objective is to transfer the results of R&D to the productive sector and in this way to ensure that investment in R&D is yielded to the society welfare. In this sense, the ICTP has a renewable portfolio of patents available for companies willing to innovate and to reach a more competitive position in the market. In this section you will find the results of our proprietary research. Given the multidisciplinary nature of our research, our proprietary technologies come from different areas: biotechnology, new materials, nanotechnology, chemistry and technology and are applied in different sectors such as: packaging, rubber, construction, aeronautics, aerospace, biomedical, toys, etc.
