IOT Lenses, ClarkeModet and the FPCM join forces to organize the Innovation Race. It is a sporting event to promote healthy habits and promote the last link in the virtuous chain of R+D+i: innovation. Under the slogan “We move for innovation“, the degree is open to employees of these entities and any of those incubated in the Madrid Science Park, as well as to staff and students of the faculties and research centers of the UAM-CSIC campus and the UCM-CSIC campus. Both universities, together with the CSIC, are part of the Park’s Board of Trustees .
Winning team for innovation
In addition to the three organizers, the Innovation Race has a winning team in research, development and innovation. The institutional collaborators of the event include the UAM and the Madrid City Council. The race sponsors Werfen, a leading corporation in biomedical solutions and products and supplier of the FPCM Genomics unit and various companies in the Park. Among these companies, the incubated Aora Health -specialized in nutraceuticals- and EvoEnzyme -focused on the development of enzymes à la carte for multiple applications- participate as private collaborators.
To complete this luxury line-up, the Innovation Race has the technical direction of the Marathon Sports Group, an athletics club with more than 65 years of history and experts in the organisation of sporting events.
