QURV TECHNOLOGIES SL

Their core work

QURV Technologies is a Spanish private company based in Castelldefels (Barcelona area) working in the graphene and 2D materials space, embedded within Europe's largest research initiative — the Graphene Flagship. Their work spans both scientific research on graphene properties and the practical translation of that research into fabrication processes, as evidenced by their participation in both the core research project (GrapheneCore3) and the 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL). The pilot line involvement specifically suggests they contribute to scaling up graphene and 2D material device manufacturing beyond the lab bench. They are a component of the industrial side of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem, bridging research outputs with manufacturable products or processes.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both of QURV's H2020 projects started in 2020, so there is no meaningful multi-year timeline shift — they entered the Flagship ecosystem at a single point in time. That said, the keyword pattern does reveal a directional signal: early association is with graphene as a research subject within the FET Flagship context, while the more recent keyword set adds "2D materials," "pilot line," and "FET" more broadly — pointing toward an expansion from pure graphene research toward the wider family of 2D materials and toward manufacturing readiness. This suggests the company's trajectory is moving from research participation toward applied fabrication and technology transfer.

QURV appears to be moving toward industrialization of 2D materials, making them a relevant partner for consortia targeting scale-up, device manufacturing, or technology transfer in the graphene ecosystem.

How they like to work

QURV has participated exclusively as a non-leading partner in both projects — they join large consortia rather than coordinating them. The Graphene Flagship structure means their consortium network is exceptionally large (198 unique partners across 21 countries), but this is a property of the Flagship itself rather than evidence of QURV building an independent network. Working with them means plugging into the Flagship ecosystem; they are a specialist contributor rather than a project driver.

QURV has formal connections to 198 unique partners across 21 countries, almost entirely through the Graphene Flagship umbrella. Their geographic reach is European in scope, heavily centered on the core Flagship institutions in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK.

What sets them apart

QURV's distinct value is their simultaneous presence in both the core Graphene Flagship research project and the dedicated pilot line — the latter being the Flagship's mechanism for moving materials from lab to manufacturable process. This dual participation suggests they operate at the interface between research and production, which is a rare position. For a consortium needing a partner who understands both the science and the fabrication constraints of graphene or 2D materials, QURV occupies a credible niche in the Barcelona/Catalonia graphene cluster.

Highlights from their portfolio

• GrapheneCore3
  The third core project of the EU Graphene Flagship — one of Europe's largest and most prestigious research initiatives — with QURV receiving EUR 1.73M in EC funding, confirming substantive technical involvement rather than nominal participation.
• 2D-EPL
  The Graphene Flagship's dedicated experimental pilot line for 2D materials, targeting manufacturing scale-up — QURV's presence here signals fabrication and process capabilities beyond pure research.
