Technology transfer between ADVACAM s.r.o. and the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics of the Czech Technical University in Prague (IEAP).

ADVACAM s.r.o., a company providing radiation imaging cameras and spectral imaging detectors for imaging solutions, was involved in activities to support technology transfer in the field of Space implemented by the Technology Centre Prague within the ESA Technology Broker project. As a result, the company cooperated with IEAP on a project to develop a pixel particle detector for radiation monitors for terrestrial applications. IEAP uses this technology on a license fee basis and they have entered foreign markets successfully with the new product.
