Who manages it?

The Fund is managed by IUCT Emprèn, one of the companies of InKemia IUCT group born in 1997. InKemia is a holding of 4 companies, in the biotechnological sector, that generate high value knowledge destined to be sold to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
InKemia’s business model is different from the rest of other biotechnological companies because our objective is to generate a know-how of added value to be commercialized in multiple ways: technological transfer of the product to the industry (licensing patents), use of the generated knowledge through “contract research” with companies of the sector, sale of projects to public organisms in order to obtaining grants, use of technological equipments acquired during the project for providing technological services, generation of new R&D projects, technical consultancy, masters degree and post-graduate specialized studies, creation of new technological platforms. On the other hand, the traditional biotechnological companies have as their objective to create a technological product for its direct commercialization.
The facilities and laboratories of InKemia are located in Mollet del Vallés (Barcelona) and it also counts with a space in the technological park Tres Cantos in Madrid, Vilanova I la Geltrú (Barcelona) and a commercial venue in Sao Paulo (Brazil)
In 2011 InKemia started a strategic process of entrepreneur encouragement. In this process the launch of the knowledge capital fund and other tools such as the Entrepreneurial program as part of our master’s degree courses.
