Moreover, as a member of the Imago-Mol cluster, the strong collaboration with its members in the medical field will be valorised for the implementation, testing and validation of an advanced use case of secure communication of medical data (WP7) as well as for a relevant contribution to the communication and dissemination KPIs (WP8). In the past four years the research, innovation and technology transfer activities at TUIASI have been developed within almost 300 research grants and more that 450 research contracts with industrial partners. The innovation school of TUIASI (Iasi School for Inventions) has 40 years of tradition and produced almost 65% of the Romanian patents, leading to numerous prizes won by TUIASI at international innovation contests.

Thus, TUIasi has the proven capacity not only to carry out the work in the project, but also to contribute through innovation and technology transfer experience to stimulating the emergence of a quantum communication industry in Romania.
