Graphenea recently announced its independence as it is no longer tied to its promoter and scientific founder, CIC nanoGUNE. This move was done five years after the company was set up and was agreed upon fron the start as one of the stipulations of the foundational agreement with Nanotechnology Investment Group SL.
After the signing of Graphenea's "declaration of independence", both parties acknowledge that the expectations raised five years ago have been met and that the mutual collaboration has been excellent. Graphenea will continue with the production and commercialization of graphene, and nanoGUNE will continue with its research on the electronic and optical properties of this nanomaterial. Thereby, both entities may continue to collaborate in future research projects.
