INNOVATION
Our innovation program is as robust as our research program. With support from the EMBRAPII program, we have attracted several partners for the development of technological projects using optics as the main element, directly or indirectly. There are about 36 Embrapii-type projects, with 16 already fully delivered and another 26 in the process of being carried out or in the process of being completed. We help to form companies, launch products, and all using scientific background as the main element. In addition to projects in partnerships with companies, we develop our own projects. In this case, we take advantage of the opportunities generated by our research and which have great potential to become part of innovation projects. In our laboratory, several PIPE FAPESP projects receive support and also several students form companies and seek support from infrastructure.
