On October 4th, POLYMAT held its Spinoff Showcase at Korta Auditorium, bringing together researchers and industry leaders to explore the journey from lab to market. This event highlighted the importance of translating scientific discoveries into successful businesses.

Key speakers included Idoia Azaldegui (POLYMAT), Ainhoa Aizpuru (BIC Gipuzkoa), Pablo Fernández (Polimerbio), Coralie Jehanno (Polykey Polymers), Iliane Rafaniello (Surphase), and Joxe Sarobe (IKERLAT), each sharing insights on entrepreneurship and the challenges faced in developing their ventures.

A dynamic round table followed the presentations, allowing attendees to engage directly with the speakers. This event, aligned with POLYMAT’s HRS4R strategy, aimed to encourage entrepreneurial skills and inspire young scientists to consider the broader impact of their research.
