The main formula for technology transfer to the industrial sector is the creation of technology-based companies promoted by our researchers (spin-offs), especially in a field like Telecommunication Technologies, where the connection between research and the market is mandatory.
In the last years, the following spin-offs were created:
SERENIA
Serenia Solutions offers innovative technological solutions for the care and well-being of people. Its main product is a virtual assistant designed for seniors and older adults that provides companionship and entertainment while monitoring various health aspects – such as anxiety, depression, or cognitive decline – through conversations. These conversations and interactions are monitored by the AI to detect potential signs of cognitive or emotional health issues, thus providing a valuable service for prevention and health care.

Ardora III-V
Ardora III-V is a pure-play compound semiconductor foundry in InP, GaAs, and GaN compound semiconductors. The company develops manufacturing capabilities for advanced photonics applications and radio frequency devices, supporting its customers from process development through industrial production while enabling them to retain ownership of their IP, designs, and applications.
Creators: Francisco Javier Díaz Otero, Carlos Mosquera Nartallo
EM3works
Technology-based company specializing in engineering activities related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), interference (EMI), and radiation levels (RADHAZ).
Creators: Fernando Obelleiro Basteiro, Jose Luis Rodríguez Rodríguez
Circadian Ambulatory Technology & Diagnostics
Company dedicated to the marketing of risk assessment services, both individual and population-based, for cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal health, as well as the early identification of hypertensive complications during pregnancy, using proprietary software based on prognostic parameters derived from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).
Creators: Ramón Carmelo Hermida Domínguez, José Ramón Fernández Bernández, Artemio Mojón Ojea, Diana Elva Ayala García
Alén Space
Alén Space makes nanosatellite services accessible through comprehensive solutions that encompass consulting, design, manufacturing, and operation of small satellites.
Their team, with over a decade of experience in space technology development, were pioneers in the New Space era, launching the first Spanish nanosatellite into space in 2012. In June 2023, the company became part of the GMV group of companies.
