Joint R&D

We offer you a dedicated R&D package, fitting the short- en longer-term goals of your company, and geared towards the markets you are active in.
If your scope of interest is broad, you may join imec’s industrial affiliation programs (IIAPs), doing precompetitive R&D together with a group of other technology leaders. These programs are a great way to share the risk and cost of advanced research. If you join in our R&D programs, we can also agree to do part of the work bilateral, involving just your company and imec. That way, we can focus on one or more specific aspects, working on a dedicated solution.

Your collaboration with imec can be made to fit your timeline. You can engage very early in the research, taking the long view. You will then profit from a deep knowledge of the technology and a close contact with the people involved. On the other side of the scala, you can go for a short engagement, trying to solve a technical issue or looking for a custom development. You may also decide to license certain results from our research; we have an extensive library of IP, knowhow that we can help transfer or tune to your needs in a development project.
Any combination you make, you get access to the valuable knowhow and to the extensive network that imec has built over the years.
