Innomat

In 2019, a spin-off company was established at the Faculty as part of the Innovation Incubator+ project and with the support of the Silesian University of Technology’s quality program. The goal of InnoMAT is to commercialize research results in the field of composite materials, particularly AlMMC materials intended for use in friction systems.
