The EBCs CSIC Scientific Entrepreneurship Conference, organised by the Vice-Presidency for Innovation and Transfer (VIT-CSIC), was held in Madrid on 10 March. Sensorika Lab Innovation the Knowledge-Based Company resulting from the collaboration between researchers from the Eduardo Torroja Institute of Construction Sciences (IETcc-CSIC) and Chatu Tech-Witeklab, actively participated in the exhibition of prototypes of the day, which served as a showcase for innovation and scientific talent.
This event was a milestone for the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), as the first comprehensive report on the hundred or so EBCs and EBC projects that have emerged from it was presented. In addition, valuable spaces for dialogue and reflection were generated, where experts and leaders discussed the challenges and strategies to continue promoting a science of excellence with a marked socio-economic impact.
The day was attended by high-level figures, including the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant; the Secretary General for Innovation, Teresa Riesgo; the President of the CSIC, Eloísa del Pino; and the Director General of the CDTI (Centre for Development and Innovation), José Moisés Martín. During the prototype exhibition session, these personalities had the opportunity to see first-hand the innovative solutions developed by various CSIC spin-offs, including Klin Loop, iLIKE Food Innovation, Inspiration Q, Digital Earth Solutions, iFABCELL, 2EYES VISION, Marsi Bionic, and, of course, Sensorika Lab Innovation.
On this occasion, Sensorika Lab Innovation presented TESTACOR, an advanced range of devices based on new generation patented technology, designed for the effective and non-invasive assessment of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Those attending the event were able to see the advanced state of development of this technology, which promises to revolutionise the structural assessment sector. Practical demonstrations illustrated the operation of different types of sensors, all of which are ready for deployment on real construction sites, underlining Sensorika’s potential to transform the future of construction.
