Its commitment to technological development is reflected in the 7 startups in which it has invested through its investment vehicle.
Under the coordination of the Tech Transfer & Innovation team of the Institute of Molecular Science, PotenciaTech is an open invitation to all ICMol researchers to be part of a process of accompaniment and mentoring. During the year 2024, a specialized team from Hasten Ventures will work with researchers to identify, qualify and mature technological assets with transfer potential to the market.
The presentation of the call not only marks the beginning of a new stage of collaboration between Hasten Ventures and ICMol, but also establishes the following objectives:
- Enhancing the transfer of R&D results: PotenciaTech seeks to become a catalyst to take the fruits of ICMol's research beyond the confines of academia and into the market, where they can generate a tangible impact on society.
- Capacity building: The initiative is not limited to mere technology transfer, but also aims to strengthen the capabilities of participating researchers, providing them with tools and knowledge to face the challenges of the business world.
