Technology Transfer Office from Spain
CiQUS (est. 2011) is a multidisciplinary research center specializing in Synthetic Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Functional Materials. The center currently hosts 19 research groups and over 200 members. During the 2022-2024 period, our research groups raised 9 MEUR/year (2022-2024) and published over 100 publications/year, 40% in high-impact journals (JCR-IF > 9). Since its creation, our researchers have been awarded 16 ERC projects (2 SyG, 1 AdG, 4 CoG, 5 StG, 4 PoC) and 24 MSCA actions. Additionally, they have secured 2 ongoing EIC-Transition as coordinators and established 4 new spin-off companies. ENERGY STORAGE > Supramolecular Aqueous Electrolyte: Zn-bromine redox-flow and static rechargeable batteries > Catalyst Confinement of Metal Transition Oxides: bifunctional air electrodes & electrolyzers. > Scalable COFs & MOFs for next-gen battery electrodes. SYNTHETIC TECHNOLOGIES & VALORIZATION > Robust stabilization of industrial enzymes under extreme conditions. Ongoing PoC for complete PET depolymerization (addressing plastic waste). > Polymer Degradation & Biodegradability: improving polymer lifespan and biodegradability. > CO2 Photochemical Conversion into valuable chemicals. > Alkane Valorization: Efficient conversion of natural gas into commercially relevant ketones. > Photocatalytic COFs: High-efficiency red-light photocatalysis under mild conditions. NANO-BIOELECTRONICS, SPINTRONICS > Non-volatile Thermal States: Precise control of thermal conductivity in oxide materials. > Tailored synthesis of PAHs and nanographenes for nanoporous sensors. > Polymer-Assisted Deposition (PAD): High-quality epitaxial oxide thin films (as thin as 4 nm).
Zymvol Biomodeling S.LZymvol Biomodeling S.LZymvol Biomodeling S.LZymvol is a biotech company in the Green Chemistry sector, pioneers specialized in design, development and application of molecular modeling software to accelerate enzyme discovery and optimization. The company's vision is to catalyze the replacement of unsustainable chemical processes, which often use expensive and contaminating metal catalysts by clean and sustainable biocatalysts. Biocatalysts are used in manufacturing processes where they reduce energy consumption and resources but also cut costs. They also have impactful applications in recycling processes, recovery of raw materials and water bioremediation
