The Institut Català de Nanociència iNanotecnologia (ICN2) focuses on the newly discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the fascinating behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. The Mission of ICN2 is to achieve scientific and technological excellence in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and to facilitate the adoption and integration of nanotechnologies into society and industry.
The patrons of ICN2 are the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat), the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). The Institute promotes collaboration among scientists from diverse backgrounds (physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering) to develop basic and applied research, always seeking interactions with local and global industry. ICN2 also trains researchers in nanotechnology, develops numerous activities to facilitate the uptake of nanotechnology by industry, and promotes networking among scientists, engineers, technicians, business people, society, and policy makers.
ICN2 was accredited in 2014 by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness as a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, the highest recognition of centres of excellence in Spain. The ICN2 proposal for this call focused on the development of nanoscale devices that are effective and marketable. Based on scientific advances in the development of materials, nanofabrication, characterisation, and theoretical simulation, practical applications will be developed in three main areas: Biosystems, Energy, and Information technology and telecommunications.

Alava Ingenieros Group is an entirely privately owned group which has been providing high technology solutions in the Testing, Measurement, Communications, Security, Defence and Preventive Maintenance fields since it was first founded in 1973 and recently in Nanotechnology.
The equipments that are provided from The Nanotechnology Systems Division of Alava Ingenieros are the following:
LVEM5 (Delong America), the only benchtop electron microscope with SEM, STEM and TEM capabilities.
85000 FE-SEM (Keysight) a compact system that offers researchers a field emission scanning electron microscope right in their own laboratory.
S neox (Sensofar), the non-contact optical 3D profiling. S neox outperforms all existing optical profilers, combining confocal, interferometry and focus variation techniques in the same sensor head without any moving parts.
5500 & 7500 AFM (Keysight), wide range of high-precision atomic force microscopes that are highly configurable.
NanoIR (Anays Instruments), this tool reveals the chemical composition of samples at the nanoscale combining both nanoscale IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. In addition, the nanoIR system provides high-resolution characterization of local topographic, mechanical, and thermal properties.
G200 NanoIndenter (Keysight), the most accurate, flexible, user-friendly instrument for nanomechanical testing.
Glovebox Workstations (MBraun) that can be equipped with a comprehensive set of optional features for the research and development of emerging technologies, like PVD or ALD.
