The spin-off of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC, Institut de Microelectrònica de Barcelona), located at the UAB Research Park, founded in 2015, has been awarded with the “Best in Class” recognition for being an example of excellence in technology transference and innovation.

Expoquimia, the fair dedicated to the chemical industry, took place last week at the Fira de Barcelona, coinciding with the plastics show, Equiplast.

The award ceremony took place last Wednesday, May 31st at the gala dinner  of the chemical industry at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), which had in attendance Roger Torrent, Catalan Minister of Enterprise and Employment, and more than 600 people.
