Intergovernmental nanotechnology laboratory in Braga, Portugal, with shared cleanrooms, micro/nanofabrication, advanced electron microscopy, metrology labs, and structured industry collaboration programs. Cross-border ties connect directly to Iberian manufacturing clusters.
The International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory is an intergovernmental research organization in Braga, Portugal, bringing together multinational scientists and engineers to advance nanoscale innovation and translation. Industry partners access state-of-the-art cleanrooms, micro- and nanofabrication toolsets, and high-resolution electron microscopy via shared-use facilities staffed by expert technologists. Liaison teams structure sponsored R&D, rapid prototyping, and fee-for-service engagements, and the location near the Northern Portugal–Galicia manufacturing corridors enables frequent on-site collaboration. Research is supported by competitive European and national funding alongside direct industry contracts, with a dedicated technology transfer office managing IP and licensing to speed commercialization.
