Early 2005 Flamac was founded by three leading industrial companies with important research and development activities in Flanders together with Agoria Vlaanderen. Financial support was provided by the three companies and by the Flemish government. In the meantime Flamac has become a top research centre in high-throughput methodologies. Our mission is to keep developing top competences in HTE, give technological advice and perform collective as well as contract research towards the materials and chemical industry. In this way, innovative research for new materials, their properties and applications can be accelerated and broadened for our customers. In 2009, Flamac has been integrated in the Strategic Initiative Materials in Flanders (SIM), showing the importance of high-throughput technologies in materials research.
