We are thrilled to announce that the ICECAP core team has won first place for Scientific Initiative at the Malta Intellectual Property Awards 2024! The award ceremony was held at Spazju Kreattiv on 3rd December 2024.
The Malta Intellectual Property Awards recognise and promote the creation of intellectual property in Malta. These awards celebrate innovation and creativity in various fields, including science, technology, and the creative industries. The Scientific Initiative Award specifically acknowledges outstanding research and development achievements. Past winners include innovative auxetic foam production developed by Smart Materials Limited and advancements in stem cell research by Prof. Pierre Schembri Wismayer and team.
This year, ICECAP is proud to join this prestigious group ! Our work in developing micro-cooling solutions has earned us this honor, along with the €8,000 prize. This achievement reflects our commitment to innovation and future IP filings, building upon our existing patents related to thermal isolation systems (US20240032425A1 / WO2024018288A1) and power optimisation methods (US20240028100A1 / WO2024018287A1).
At ICECAP, we believe that innovative technology should be available to everyone. Whether through licensing agreements, seamless integration into existing products, or by purchasing our ready-to-use Aristat Controller, we’re committed to solving our clients’ thermal management challenges in the best way possible.
We extend our gratitude to the University of Malta’s Knowledge Transfer Office, New Energy Ltd, and all our incredible collaborators. Your support and expertise have been invaluable on this journey. We would also like to congratulate the runners-up, The BioArte, for their work focusing on human microbiota and its interaction with human genetics.
