iMinds is an independent research institute founded by the Flemish government to stimulate ICT innovation. Over the last 10 years, iMinds became Flanders' digital research & entrepreneurship hub. It combines the strength of its researchers at 5 Flemish universities to conduct strategic and applied research in several areas such as ICT, Media and Health.
Together with its research partner, companies, governments and non-profit organizations, iMinds translates digital know-how into concrete products and services. In addition, iMinds supports researchers, entrepreneurs and start-ups in the succesful market introduction of their ideas.
The iMinds team offers companies and organizations active support in research and development. It brings together companies, authorities, and non-profit organizations to join forces in research projects. Both technical and non-technical issues are addressed within each of these projects.
iMinds has developed a vertical market approach that tunes services to the needs of specific markets that are highly relevant to Flanders and will benefit greatly from digital innovations - including manufacturing, media and entertainment, health, Smart Cities, the public sector, education and financial services.
By focusing on High-Impact Initiatives (HI²s) - clustered in Eveything Connected, Data Science and Distributed Trust - iMinds focuses on long-term research and innovation programs with sufficient critical mass to have a major socio-economic impact on Flanders. These HI²s will cluster top expertise across Flemish universities and bridge the gap between research, innovation and industry.
iMinds unites over a 1000 researchers from 5 universities specialized in one or more of the basic competencies of iMinds. The composition of the research groups is flexible and aligned to the evolving needs of companies and organizations.Main EU files targeted
