On January 28 and 29, IMDEA Energía took part in Science for Industry (S4i), the leading international event dedicated to fostering technology transfer and innovation based on Deep Science, held at La Nave in Madrid. The event brings together universities, research centers, major industrial companies, and international science investment funds, with the aim of transforming scientific advances into solutions with real societal impact.

Representing the institute were David Serrano, Director of IMDEA Energía; Cristina Álvarez, Head of Technology Transfer; and Enrique García Quismondo, Senior Researcher in the Electrochemical Processes Unit. They participated in an event conceived as a strategic space to strengthen the open innovation ecosystem and facilitate direct connections between science and industry.

During S4i, IMDEA Energía presented a prototype of an injectable electrode cell, a technological solution designed to facilitate the reuse and recycling of electrochemical components. This development is part of the NET4BAT project: Innovative Electrochemical Separation and Conversion Technologies for a Sustainable Battery Manufacturing Industry, which aims to advance more sustainable and efficient battery manufacturing processes through the use of low-energy electrochemical technologies.

IMDEA Energía’s participation in S4i also helped to highlight other research lines and projects, such as SOLENER-CM and Nitro-D-Cell, and to explore new opportunities for collaboration.
