Although GRADCOM was formally established in 2021, its members bring more than two decades of experience in electromagnetic engineering, RFID technologies, antennas, microwave systems, metamaterials and wireless power transfer. This expertise has been consolidated through competitive research projects, industrial collaborations and technology-transfer initiatives with public institutions and private companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our activities span the entire innovation chain, from fundamental electromagnetic research to prototype development, intellectual property generation and industrial deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
