Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuel Palacin is a tech entrepreneur and PhD-trained technology transfer leader with 13 years of experience building bridges between research labs, industry and investors. As CEO of Associació TECNIO he drives strategic public‑private partnerships and oversees tech commercialization for Catalonia’s leading research groups, drawing on prior roles founding The Collider and SmartGovs. He blends deep telecom and Internet research expertise with hands‑on startup experience—scouting, validating and investing in early-stage deep-tech ventures across AI, IoT and Smart Cities. Manuel’s track record includes managing program P&L, coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, and shepherding seed investments and equity negotiations to scale academic innovations into marketable products. Less obvious: he pairs academic rigor from a PhD in IT with practical commercialization chops, even co-founding a physiotherapy clinic to apply entrepreneurial skills outside pure tech.
