Mission

From research to impact — enabling technologies to reach patients, society, and the economy.

We support researchers in their collaborations with industrial and academic partners and in their ambition to create spin-off companies. We transfer our researchers’ innovations to the economy for public benefit through protection of intellectual property and licensing.

Our visual identity symbolizes mutual attraction and the perfect balance between two fundamental poles:
  • Research
  • Application
This "magnetism" illustrates our ability to bring together academic rigor and market needs.
