About

imec.istart Spain is looking to meet ambitious early-stage deep-tech startups, university spin-offs and research teams developing defensible technologies with strong commercial potential.

We combine early-stage investment with hands-on acceleration, helping founders move from advanced research and validated technology toward a scalable company, market entry and follow-on funding.

We are particularly interested in teams working on:

  • Semiconductor and microelectronics innovation

  • Advanced hardware, sensors and embedded systems

  • Photonics, imaging and sensing technologies

  • AI-enabled hardware and industrial technologies

  • Nano- and microtechnologies

  • Sustainable energy, climate and circular-economy solutions

  • Materials, electronics and other science-based innovations

We welcome conversations with founders raising pre-seed or seed funding, research groups preparing a spin-off, technology-transfer offices, corporates seeking innovation partnerships, and investors interested in co-investment opportunities.
