WHAT WE DO
We are the Innovation Network for Advanced Materials
For deep tech startups focused on advanced materials we provide curated support at each stage of growth. For the earlier stage startups/research spinoffs, INAM runs the Advanced Materials Lab incubation program. For startups gearing up to raise their seed rounds, we offer the Advanced Materials Competition, an accelerator program. Since 2022, we also offer the Advanced Materials Competition Scale program, curated for startups that are ready to scale up.
Throughout the year we run Open Innovation Challenges with corporate or investment partners, such as Infineon and Continental, complementing R&D at strategic times during the innovation process.
