Objectives
At the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub, our vision is to create a vibrant ecosystem that fosters innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship in the field of deep technologies.
By leveraging the expertise and resources of both Fractus and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Barcelona Tech (UPC), we aim to address the market and societal needs by harnessing the transformative power of UPC technologies.
Objective 1: Analysis of Deep Tech Needs
Our first objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the deep tech needs of the market and society. By closely examining the challenges and opportunities, we will identify areas where UPC technologies can make a significant impact. This analysis will guide us in developing strategies to meet the evolving demands of industries and society.
Objective 2: Mapping UPC Research Groups
We will map the UPC research groups with the greatest impact within the deep tech landscape. By understanding the strengths and expertise of these groups, we can facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers, industry partners, and entrepreneurs. This mapping exercise will enable us to identify potential synergies and areas of innovation within UPC technologies.
Objective 3: Promoting Sectors and Technologies
To activate growth opportunities, we will focus on promoting specific sectors and technologies within the deep tech domain. Through targeted initiatives and programs, we will support the development and adoption of these sectors and technologies. By nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship, we aim to accelerate economic growth and create a sustainable future.
Objective 4: Determining Priority Deep Tech Areas
To maximize the impact of UPC technologies, we will determine priority deep tech areas. By carefully evaluating the potential of different technologies, we can allocate resources effectively and drive meaningful progress in these areas. This strategic approach will ensure that our efforts are focused on the most promising and impactful deep tech domains.

Objective 5: Marketable Technological Offer
We will analyze and provide access to the marketable technological offer of UPC, including its patent portfolio. By identifying marketable technologies, we can facilitate their commercialization and transfer to industry partners. This will enhance the value of UPC's research output and contribute to the growth of deep tech entrepreneurship and innovation.
Objective 6: Connecting with the Global Ecosystem
We will establish strong connections with the global deep tech entrepreneurship ecosystem. By organizing events such as the Deep Tech Summit and participating in renowned conferences like MWC-4YFN, we will foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and partnership opportunities. These connections will enable us to tap into global expertise, leverage international networks, and position UPC as a leading player in the deep tech arena.
Objective 7: Linking with Entrepreneurship and Talent Programs
To support entrepreneurship and foster young talent, we will establish partnerships with entrepreneurship and talent programs, such as the 'Emprèn UPC' partnership program. Through these collaborations, we will provide aspiring entrepreneurs and students with the necessary resources, mentorship, and opportunities to develop their ideas and transform them into viable deep tech startups. This linkage will create a pipeline of innovative ventures and empower the next generation of deep tech leaders.
Objective 8: Collaboration for Commercialization
We aim to explore synergies and collaboration opportunities for the commercialization of UPC technologies. By connecting the Fractus-UPC hub with the local, national, and international deep tech entrepreneurial and innovative ecosystems, we will facilitate technology transfer, licensing, and joint ventures. This collaboration will ensure that the breakthrough technologies developed at UPC reach the market, benefit society, and drive economic growth.
In conclusion, the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub envisions a thriving ecosystem where deep tech innovation flourishes, entrepreneurial ventures thrive, and societal challenges are addressed through the transformative power of UPC technologies.
