The Centre for Innovation and Advanced Technologies of the University of Barcelona (CITA-UB), a project promoted by the UB and the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation, has published on its website a catalogue which collects for each area of expertise (Food; Sustainable development; Industrial processes; Information, communication and knowledge technologies; and Health and quality of life) the technological services offered by its research groups and associate them with the stages of business development.

The Centre for Innovation and Advanced Technologies of the University of Barcelona (CITA-UB), a project promoted by the UB and the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation, has published on its website a catalogue which collects for each area of expertise (Food; Sustainable development; Industrial processes; Information, communication and knowledge technologies; and Health and quality of life) the technological services offered by its research groups and associate them with the stages of business development.

The companies which compose CITA-UB External Advisory Committee participated in the development of these catalogues. To be exact, they described the different industrial stages that take part in the development of any technology, and adapted technological language to a more informal register. Collaborating companies are: Danone in the area of Food; Esteve in the area of Health and quality of life; FAE in the area of Information, communication and knowledge technologies; Ficosa in the area of Industrial processes, and Sirusa in the area of Sustainable development. The result is the publication of five catalogues that, on the one hand, join together the abilities and services of CITA-UB research groups (all members of TECNIO, Government of Catalonia) and enable to establish synergies among them, and on the other hand, adapt the services provided by the centre to clientʼs needs. To elaborate these catalogues, it has been necessary to identify new technological market entries and to define new research lines that satisfy current demands.

 
CITA-UB is a project of the UB and the FBG, which aims at becoming the meeting point among TECNIO research groups of UB Group and those companies interested in carrying out R & D &I projects. It promotes and fosters interdisciplinary transfer activities in several fields of knowledge, in order to transfer them to society, thereby contributing to improve business competitiveness. Currently, CITA-UB is composed by eleven UB research groups experienced in collaborating with enterprises, which have been recognised as TECNIO by the Government of Catalonia by means of its agency ACC1Ó. CITA-UB has developed more than 555 research projects and services; 83 competitive projects (33 international and 50 Spanish) have been developed with public funding; and has collaborated in 200 patent applications.
