About us
The ICAMCyL Foundation (International Center for Advanced Materials and Raw Materials of Castilla y León) is a non-profit organization founded in 2018 with the aim of strengthening the industrial fabric of Castilla y León by promoting an advanced model for the management of strategic materials and raw materials. Our work is fully aligned with the region’s Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3) and with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY
Since its creation, ICAMCyL has become a European benchmark in innovation, sustainability, and advanced industry, acting as a bridge between research and industry. We promote technological development and knowledge transfer in key sectors such as energy, raw materials, and Industry 5.0, with a focus based on the circular economy and the efficient use of natural resources.
The Foundation actively participates in international networks and in projects funded by European funds, fostering public-private cooperation and positioning Castilla y León as a leading territory in industrial innovation. Thanks to a highly specialized team and a broad network of institutional and business collaborators, ICAMCyL drives high-impact projects that promote regional competitiveness and the transition towards a more sustainable and digital economy.
