The UPC Technology Center (CIT UPC) is a non-profit entity, attached to the UPC, dedicated to applying university research capabilities to innovation in business. The aim of the CIT UPC is to promote greater business competitiveness by creating, developing and implementing in companies differential technological knowledge that is generated in the UPC’s research and development centres, particularly those that are members of the CIT. We are one of the research centres from CIT-UPC and have collaborated with other centers in joint projects.
Starting September 2011, DAMA-UPC starts collaborating in the research projects of CA Technologies new European Research centre in the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.BarcelonaTech. The projects address security and privacy in a cloud environment, cloud forensics, machine translation tools for multi-lingual product localization, efficient visualization of very large systems, and new IT business models.
Although our group is focused on research aspects, we feel commited to the society and care for technology transfer. Our group has created Sparsity Technologies a spin-out company from the university, that since March 2010 develops, supports & commercializes the technologies developed at DAMA-UPC.
DAMA-UPC and Sparsity work together and separately in several European Projects, the good work has been recognised nominating Sparsity as the SME with the highest Innovation capacity in 2015. Read more about the Projects by DAMA-UPC and TTX by Sparsity.
