Applied research institutes in energy storage, surface engineering, and nanomedicine
CIDETEC operates three specialized research institutes conducting applied R&D in battery technology, industrial coatings, and biomedical materials. The tech stack—C, C++, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, SAP—reflects a hybrid research-and-engineering organization managing both computational modeling and manufacturing operations. Active projects center on battery simulation, pilot-plant production, and EU consortium management, while pain points cluster around resource optimization, scaling testing capacity, and translating lab innovations into industrial-grade processes.
CIDETEC is a private nonprofit research organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in San Sebastián, Spain. The institute houses three specialized centers: Energy Storage (battery development, material validation, pack engineering, testing services), Surface Engineering (coatings and surface solutions for automotive, aerospace, power generation), and Nanomedicine (biomedical materials with three patented product families). The organization bridges academic research and industrial application through technology transfer, pilot manufacturing, and collaborative EU-funded projects. Staff of 201–500 spans research scientists, engineers, and manufacturing specialists, with hiring concentrated in research and engineering roles.
Three core areas: energy storage (battery technology, material validation, testing), surface engineering (industrial coatings for automotive and aerospace), and nanomedicine (biomedical materials with three patent families).
