BSBF: Final considerations

Last October the second edition of the Big Science Business Forum was held in Granada, a congress that brings together the world’s leading scientific infrastructures and industry, with a clear focus on business, bringing together on this occasion more than 1200 participants and more than 120 companies.

The congress has been a unique window for different actors to know first hand the investment and contracting forecasts of European Big Science organizations for more than 37 billion euros in the coming years and in the following areas:

– Electrical, power electronics, electromechanical and RF systems.

– Affiliated Big Science Organizations (ABSOs)

– Diagnostics and detectors, sensors, optics and instruments

– Information and communication technologies

 

– Research Infrastructures and e-Infrastructures in Horizon Europe – European Commission

– Industrial Opportunities for IFMIF-DONES

– Basic material technologies and advanced manufacturing techniques

– Complex building construction and its safety related systems

– High precision and large mechanical components

– Instrumentation, control and CODAC

– Cryogenics, vacuum and leak detection technologies

– SME Involvement and Key Aspects for Procurement

 

– Affiliated Big Science Organizations (ABSOs) II

– Superconductivity and superconducting magnets

– Career opportunities and pathways in the Big Science market

– Remote handling systems

 

In this second edition of the congress, IFIC has been able to count on the attendance and active participation of UCIE agents, who have had the opportunity to learn about business opportunities in different areas of technology and to establish contact with representatives of various institutions and companies, as well as to hold B2B meetings and formalize relationships that may be of great interest to researchers of the Institute.

In addition, they have been in charge of compiling information that may be of interest, such as the list of companies that participated in the event or the presentations corresponding to the parallel sessions in which the aforementioned investment opportunities were presented.

All this information is available to the groups upon request by contacting any of the UCIE agents.

The UCIE at the innovation events of the Comunitat Valenciana

UCIE agents Ana Isabel Delgado and César Senra have participated  in the innovation events VLC Heath&I and Valencia Digital Summit, held in the city of Valencia.

VLC Health&I Day was an initiative led by Innosalud, Bioval and Innotransfer, in which representatives of the Bio business cluster, universities, science parks and health research centers participated. The aim of the event was to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the healthcare sector, connecting research groups, companies and investors to foster synergies and promote new projects.

The conference, held in the new Biohub building in the Marina of Valencia, began with an assessment of the impact of the tools to promote innovation in the Valencian Region by representatives of the AVI, Generalitat, RUVID and BioVal. In parallel, there were networking sessions, talks on entrepreneurship and investment in the Bio sector, presentation of challenges and solutions by institutions and companies in the sector. In addition, there was a competition in which ten Valencian startups in the health sector presented their projects to different investment funds.

On the other hand, the Ciutat de les Arts y les Ciències was the chosen venue for the Valencia Digital Summit, now in its fifth edition, which places Valencia as a benchmark in technological innovation.

This new edition of the VDS, organized by STARTUP VALENCIA, brought together more than 12,000 attendees from 35 different countries, more than 400 national and international investors and 450 world-renowned speakers, around 1,500 startups, and more than 130 sessions on various topics such as sustainability, blockchain technology, smart cities, talent acquisition and collaboration between companies and startups.

With this initiative,it seeks to boost innovative companies in the Valencian ecosystem so that their projects consolidate, scale and contribute to inspire a better future.

On this occasion, IFIC was also represented by the researcher Luis Caballero, who presented the project he leads in the showroom of the event, within the framework of the COMTE-Innovation program in which it participates.

The presence of the agents in these events allows us to keep abreast of the main lines of work and identify relevant actors in the fields of health, biotechnology and digital technology. Likewise, we have been able to establish contacts with some startups that have shown interest in IFIC’s activity and are expected to lead to future collaborations.

 

BSBF2022, the world’ most important congress in Big Science, is attended by the UCIE-IFIC

The Scientific Unit for Business Innovation (in Spanish, UCIE) of the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), a joint center of CSIC and the Universitat de València, has recently attended the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) 2022. The BSBF is an international congress that brings together the main players in cutting-edge science, mainly in the fields of high-energy physics, astronomy and energy. The aim of this congress is to be a meeting point between research institutions and industry.

 

UCIE agents Ana Isabel Delgado and César Senra have participated in this meeting with the aim of disseminating IFIC’s activity and capabilities among the different organizations and companies that attended the event, in order to identify synergies and promote possible collaboration and transfer agreements. During the course of the event, the agents had the opportunity to hold B2B meetings with company representatives and with the heads of some of the most important infrastructure projects of the moment in our country, who showed great interest in the work of the Institute.

 

After the success of the first edition in Copenhagen, Granada was the city chosen to host the second edition of this important congress, gathering around 1,200 participants and more than 120 companies from different countries to discuss the future prospects of the Big Science market.

 

The event was organized by the CDTI and the Ministry of Science and Innovation with the collaboration of CIEMAT, national and international technical coordinator of the IFMIF-DONES project, an infrastructure for the study of the materials that will form part of the new fusion energy generation systems. This project also counts with the participation of the Granada City Council, where it will be located, the UGR, On Granada, ICEX Spain Export and Investment, the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia, the Granada Provincial Council and the Andalusian Regional Government.
