M NODE, Materials Technology Transfer
In Materially we are experts in materials technology transfer. The extensive knowledge of the market acquired during the years of advising industrial companies means that developers of new materials want to count on us to help them transfer their developments to the market. This makes our proven methodology helpful for Research Groups in Universities and Technological Centres when taking steps towards materials transfer. In the following interactive image you can learn more in detail the usual working methodology:
Assessment of commercial potential
Assessment to estimate the potential of the technology to move on to the next phases and/or programmes focused on Valorisation and Transfer. The steps to be followed are as follows:
- Initial contact to request information and documentation.
- Interview to gather the necessary information for the Evaluation Form.
- Elaboration of the evaluation according to the specified manual.
- Presentation of results and sharing.
Roadmap for Valorisation
Needs analysis and action planning according to the state of the technology and its market potential. The working methodology usually requires:
- Identification of technology needs.
- Search and identification of opportunities.
- Analysis of the activities necessary to increase technological maturity.
- Estimation of the resources (economic and time) necessary for technological progress.
Contrast with the market
Contrast with the market and detection of samples of interest from representative agents. Contact and definition of applications and/or final product.
- Search for sectors interested in integrating the material in their products.
- Contact and contrast with the different companies to find out their real interest.
Identification of Partners
Identification of potential sectors, organisations and applications for industrial scale-up and commercialisation.
- Look for companies with products that can incorporate the technology.
- Contact and contrast with the different companies to find out their real interest.
Monitoring and analysis of results
Coordination of the tests with the entities concerned, monitoring and analysis of the results.
- Interpretation and analysis of tests and design and development of technical documentation.
- Monitoring of the state of play and consolidation of meetings between the different parties involved and follow-up of the different interactions to drive them forward.
Transfer meeting
Coordination of meetings for the connection between technological supply and demand, with special attention to the resolution of the challenges posed by industry
- Identification and presentation of industrial and market challenges.
- Detection of the technological offer that responds to these challenges.
- Connecting research staff and OTRIs with industry representatives to discuss possible R&D&i projects.
Materials Innovation Reportss
Design and development of reports on Materials with high added value from a technological and/or design point of view with opportunities for application in industry. This selection of materials is carried out in a reasoned and contextualised manner. In addition, the reports are usually accompanied by application examples as well as trend and foresight analyses.

Capability mapping and catalogue
Technical assistance service for the design and execution of Capability maps and catalogue of materials technologies. Thanks to this, the entity or organisation manages to have a clear idea of its internal capabilities and can exploit them to the maximum. Technologies, services, equipment or any other capability that is of interest to the organisation in the world of materials can be catalogued.
