Technology Transfer and Spin-off Creation

We transfer our technology to spin-off companies or industry and create added value to the society from our research efforts.

Collaborations with industryOver the years our group has had many contracts and collaborations with industry. Among the most recent one we mention BiC the multinational razor company for low friction coatings on blades, Intel for nanometrology and nanolithography, and several short term projects with Greek and European industries. We also mention the collaboration with KLA, which sponsors the group by providing a free annual license for use of the PROLITH software for educational processes while teaching microfabrication in the Masters program of Microsystems and Nanotechnology.

Spin-off Creation

Nanoplasmas p.c. is commercializing diagnostics based on our plasma nanotechnology. Nanoplasmas received two rounds of equity funding from unifund in 2019 and 2021 and has received the 2nd prize award in Applied Research and Innovation Contest for Excellence "Kainotomeis" in 2013 and the 1st prize award in Trophy-Τροφή Challenge 2020.

Nanometrisis p.c. is working on nanometrology and offers software for the measurement and quantification of geometric and morphological characteristics of micro and nanostructures. Nanometrisis has received the 2019 Athens Commerce and Industry Association start up award for its promising nanometrology software.

In addition, team members have won one of the prizes of the GreenTech awards organized by NTUA, with their idea of plasma processing named Aurora.
