Abstract
The research project Ingenio Mathematica (i-MATH), an initiative financed by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, promoted a wide range of activities for the period 2006–2012 in order to improve the role of mathematical research in the Spanish sphere of science, technology and innovation, and increase the transferal of knowledge from Spanish mathematicians to business sectors. Specifically, two initiatives were developed in order to analyse the current state of mathematical technology transfer in Spain: the TransMATH Demand Map, which studies the knowledge, use and requirements for mathematical tools by Spanish companies, and the TransMATH Supply Map, which compiles both Spanish research groups’ experience in technology transfer and the key mathematical services they currently offer.
