In order to create IPR and master the technologies enabling high profit innovation, Gemmate Technologies focuses its efforts on the upscaling and application of proven scientific and technological discoveries promising to impact on Europe relevant industrial sectors. The research and innovation choices done by the company come from punctual business analyses of the strategic roadmaps planning the future innovation of industrial sectors identified to have large margin for product unit. This choice was done to allow an effective and sustainable penetration of novelties in the marketplace. It is expected that markets with larger volume / unit-margin ratio will benefit of the Gemmate work in a second moment when most of the research investments will be mostly paid back.
