After less than eight years, CTTC has successfully achieved the target of international reputation, has contributed to the scientific community with around 800 publications in international journals and conferences and has participated in over 60 research projects at both national and international levels, funded from both competitive and industrial initiatives. As a result of that, currently the main challenge of CTTC consists in confirming itself as a solid partner for the industry. For this reason, the focus of technology transfer at CTTC is to take advantage of the basic research by applying it to technology innovation projects with the industry.

Since July 2005, CTTC is located in the Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia, in Castelldefels, and has always tried to collaborate with the local administration in the context of the technological initiatives which are periodically organized. One example is the continuous participation in the Science Week of Castelldefels.

As a result of all that, the special prize of Castelldefels city obtained by CTTC represents a public acknowledgment to those industries and institutions, which, independently of their area of activity, have contributed to the social, economic and technological development of the city.
