Máster Diagnostica : successful companies that have opted for innovation with the CDTI

Master Diagnostica  develops kits for the detection of oncological and infectious diseases. It is part of the Vitro group.

Vitro was established 20 years ago as a marketer of clinical products and biomedical research, over time the company has been committed to innovation and has begun to develop its own products to become one of the leading Spanish companies in the field of in vitro diagnostics. According to Juan Jimenez, CEO of Master Diagnostica, this has been possible thanks to the support they have obtained from the CDTI, an organisation that they consider to be key to the development of their company,

Among its numerous lines of research, the company started 6 years ago, with the help of the CDTI, a new technological project whose objective is the design and development of a system for the simultaneous arrest of different bacterial species responsible for tick-borne diseases.

In addition, in the field of oncology, it participates in a consortium of public bodies developing an expert diagnostic system supported by the programme Feder Interconecta.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
