INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, a consortium member of Portugal’s Microelectronics Agenda, has once again gained national attention after being featured on SIC Notícias as one of the most advanced research centres in Europe in the field of nanotechnology. The report highlights the impact of the work carried out in Braga and underscores the crucial role INL has played in developing strategic technologies for microelectronics and for the national industry.
A scientific hub at the service of microelectronics
Located in Braga and equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, INL is dedicated to nanoscale research with direct applications in areas such as sensors, new materials, microdevices, advanced computing, and Industry 4.0 solutions.
This scientific capability is deeply integrated into the Microelectronics Agenda, where INL serves as a technological partner in multiple developments requiring precision, emerging materials, and innovative processes.
Technology that brings research and industry closer together
The report highlights several INL projects that demonstrate its transformative role:
-
Ultra-sensitive sensors and microdevices with applications in health, environment, and industry.
-
Novel nanostructured materials essential for the performance of next-generation microelectronic components.
-
Hybrid technologies combining nanotechnology, photonics, and advanced electronics.
These solutions, emerging from cutting-edge scientific research, find in the Microelectronics Agenda a pathway for knowledge transfer and integration into Portuguese production chains.
