The [Institute of New Imaging Technologies](https://www.init.uji.es/) of the Universitat Jaume I (INIT) has received funding from the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI) for the creation of a scientific unit devoted to the development of technologies and the dissemination of knowledge in businesses. This new scientific unit for business innovation (UCIE) will be the second at the public university of Castelló, as the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) has had a similar unit since 2019.

The UCIE-INIT will focus on the services that the institute currently offers to companies: 3D visualisation, geographic information systems, gerontechnology, optical devices, Big Data/AI and computer vision. It will carry out dissemination actions addressed to companies in various ways (presentation of products and dissemination of results, participation in fairs and promotion of innovations and business relations); it will carry out interviews and collaborative activities directly with companies to contribute knowledge to their projects or offer them a developed technology; and it will continue with actions that it was already carrying out such as the signing of contracts or the creation of spin-offs and EBTs.

The Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Science Outreach, David Cabedo, has viewed the creation of this unit very positively "because it will be an excellent opportunity to bring knowledge closer to companies and to establish another channel of exchange and collaboration between the two spheres, business and academia". The director of the INIT, Inmaculada Remolar, emphasised that the new UCIE-INIT consolidates the path initiated by the innovation agent recruited four years ago, thanks to funding also obtained from the AVI, and opens the door to an important step up in the transfer that is carried out from the university institute.

The main objective of this new unit is to establish the necessary conditions for converting knowledge into usable innovation for businesses and the deployment of actions that can allow its effective transfer. In the specific case of the INIT, since 2019 the centre has had an innovation agent who has boosted the relationship with companies and has made it possible to redirect some of the research towards the transfer of knowledge to the business sector.

The new unit will make it possible to establish a more definitive and professionalised connection between the research and innovations carried out at the Institute and the business world. The two main purposes underlying its creation are to orientate the Institute's research and development towards the needs of the productive sector and to disseminate, communicate and understand the regional business fabric in order to turn the institute into a technological benchmark centre that provides support capable of keeping companies up to date and digitalised according to their needs.

Technology transfer has been one of INIT's main activities since its creation in 2009 through contracts entered into with companies (more than a hundred with an economic impact of close to 1,500,000 euros), which has allowed for a closer relationship with them and greater funding for research and dissemination activities, as well as the creation of several spin-offs and TBCs, such as UBIK Geospatial Solutions.

The Institute for New Imaging Technologies is focused on research and development in a wide range of fields related to imaging technologies. It is made up of university teaching staff from different departments, contract staff, trainees and administrative staff. The INIT is committed to economic development and improving the competitiveness of local companies and for this reason, in addition to contracts and activities, it makes its research known to the market in order to promote the incorporation of imaging technologies into the production chain.
