About us
Fundación General CSIC (FGCSIC) is a private non-profit organisation created in 2008 by a joint institutional initiative of the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas - CSIC) and its founding patrons. Its goal is to promote public-private collaboration in the environment of scientific research, innovation and knowledge enhancement.
This collaboration can be developed within the framework of initiatives that promote scientific knowledge and research talent, innovation and investment, through various instruments that FGCSIC has developed to invest in CSIC's broad portfolio of scientific and technological capabilities.
About us
If it has been proven that science and innovation are key factors of competitiveness, why not grow as a company by committing to the high financial yield of investments in R&D&I and making a true social impact?
The Fundación General CSIC accompanies you in this commitment with the conviction that any investment linked to your business model or your social responsibility activities reaches its maximum potential when its focus is on SCIENCE in capital letters.
To the one that is capable of creating a better world, to the science of excellence aimed at the market that creates innovative products, processes and services that increase the well-being of our society. We invite you to invest in the science of the SPANISH NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL (CSIC), the main public research institution in Spain and third in Europe.
We enhance the knowledge that is generated at the CSIC and turn it into a useful tool for your company and for society
We converge the research developed at the CSIC with the innovation needs of the private sector towards mutual success
We materialise programmes that promote scientific knowledge and research talent as levers for innovation and sustainable development. Programmes in collaboration with entities that want to support or integrate scientific progress into their corporate strategy through topics of value for their social responsibility or business. We also offer improved tax advantages and benefits in terms of image, reputation and positioning as a company committed to science and the 2030 Agenda.
We offer solutions to your organisation’s innovation needs, putting the scientific and technological capabilities of the CSIC at your disposal, with special attention on its commercial exploitation possibilities and its transfer to the market. We use technological surveillance and competitive intelligence tools, and we have a wide network of contacts who are international leaders in their sectors of activity and markets.
We manage calls for the development of projects, courses and other activities related to research and innovation. In addition, we also organise meetings and conferences for specific sectors or for the general public.
