Our formula.
The development of deep technologies, from the laboratory to the market, is a long and complex journey, and each member of our ecosystem is different.
That is why we listen and identify the needs of each organisation to help each secpho member achieve their goals through our formula.
Speaking of our formula means speaking of…
Tech Transfer
& Innovation
Workshops
Our innovation workshops are completely designed to generate collaborative innovation projects between technological companies, researchers and investors.
We like to create environments that stimulate the innovation.
We follow our own methodology, known as Innovation Workshops, with proven success for more than 8 years, in more than 25 industrial sectors, with more than 500 companies and with an average evaluation by participants of 9.15/10.

Collaborative
Projects
Our slogan is “collaborate to innovate” and generating collaborative technological innovation projects that address complex industry and societal challenges is at the core of our activity.
We like to connect people who are open to innovation.
Secpho’s innovation process starts with an intense phase of opportunity exploration, identifying complex challenges that can lead to projects and success stories developed by our members.
In a second phase, we carry out the technological solutions approach, whose proposals count on our support throughout the launch and management process.
Access to funding
Every innovation process concludes with the search for funding that makes it possible to bring the technology to the market. Secpho is a cluster certified as excellent by the Ministry of Industry, since 2009. This allows us to access exclusive non-refundable grants for collaborative innovation projects.
Secpho also holds the prestigious Gold Label certification that accredits it as excellent by the European Commission.
Only 50 out of around 3000 European clusters hold this certification, which opens the door to the best partners for projects of international scope.
We also connect our ecosystem with national and international investors specialising in deep tech. We are a source of quality deal flow in deep tech for investors.
Connection
with Industry
We identify real technological challenges and manage the entire open innovation process. We are the gateway to around 30 challenges per year that we identify in all kinds of companies in different areas of industry.
We are a dynamic industrial innovation hub.
Open Innovation Club
The innovation forum aimed at managers of large companies that lead the rankings for investment in R&D&I.
International
Connection
Our extensive network of contacts and our international collaboration programmes with areas as diverse as North Africa, the Middle East, India and South America make it easy for you to find partners as well as funding and matchmaking opportunities.
We accompany secpho members on international trade fairs and missions. We make sure that they get the highest visibility. It’s all about being at the right time, in the right place and meeting the right people.
Visibility
and Positioning
We like to put the spotlight on the true experts in innovation: our members. We introduce them to our extensive network of over 5000 contacts and incorporate them into our catalogue of technology experts.
We inform the press so that they can disseminate our members’ technologies as broadly as possible.
And if we need to become publishers ourselves, we do it! In 2018, we have launched the biannual publication of the technological magazine Light! with the latest technological developments for diverse industry sectors. On the way to consolidating itself as the information resource for all those who want to keep up with the most creative pulse of our industry, Light! has, in such a short time, attracted the interest of more than 25.000 readers.
Secpholand
The new collaborative virtual environment to improve information exchange and strengthen technology transfer and innovation processes along the entire deep tech value chain.
A hybrid tool, a mix of professional network and virtual environment that will surprise members of the secpho ecosystem.
