Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech is a technology-based company focused on quantum computing with an agreement to develop technologies inside the Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona - National Microelectronics Center of the Spanish National Research Council.

Presided over by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain and with the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant, the IMB-CNM researcher received his award in the area of Technology Transfer together with the other 19 people awarded in other disciplines.

The Ministry of Science and Innovation grants the National Research Awards 2023 and awards the 'Ángela Ruiz Robles' National Research Award for Young People to Gonzalo Murillo Rodríguez, researcher at IMB-CNM.

The awards ceremony of the “Un microchip muy grande” contest, held today at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, rewards the winning teams and the work done around microelectronics.

A first-of-a-kind device, the INBRAIN Intelligent Network Modulation System is designed to offer a new treatment option for patients with Parkinson’s disease. It harnesses the properties of graphene and the power of machine learning software to provide highly targeted and adaptive neuroelectronic therapy. INBRAIN Neuroelectronics is a health-tech company that originated as a spin-off of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and ICREA, with the participation of the IMB-CNM-CSIC.

The IMB-CNM will recognize the efforts of the participating groups and will award the best work of the three modalities at an event at the institute's building on September 22nd at 1 pm. The contest received work from pre-university students and it is supported by the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología · Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (FECYT).

The company co-founded by Neus Sabaté, an IMB-CNM researcher, receives the "Best in Class" award in the "Tech Transfer" category for its development of paper-based ecological batteries. The "Best in Class" awards, with four categories, recognize projects with a high disruptive profile and business transformation. Fuelium batteries do not generate toxic waste and can power a wide variety of single-use devices.

The company INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, founded by a researcher from the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute, has been selected by the European Innovation Council to receive Accelerator funding.
