IVI is a world leader in assisted reproduction research. We have been awarded some of the most prestigious prizes in the profession, both nationally and internationally. Our specialists have published more than 450 articles in scientific journals all over the world.
Our commitment to R&D has seen us develop and patent leading technologies such as the Embryoscope, as well as pioneering some new fertility techniques and treatments in the last 26 years. This includes the introduction of vitrification in Europe. We also offer the most up-to-date techniques and equipment available, which is key to maintaining and indeed improving the IVI Group’s high pregnancy and implantation rates year after year.
The first IVI centre opened over 30 years and was the first clinic in Spain dedicated to assisted reproduction. Since then, we have expanded and now have over 70 clinics worldwide. The three pillars of our success are excellence in health care, teaching, and research.
All our clinics invest a percentage of their income in the IVI Foundation, which manages our research activity. The Foundation aims are to improve the results of current assisted reproduction treatment by developing new techniques and minimising the adverse effects of treatment.
Our investment in global research has enabled us to improve significantly the techniques we offer and increase success rates in IVI clinics year on year.
IVI has a worldwide reputation for innovative research. Our experts have published papers in more than 650 scientific publications all over the world, more than any other private clinic.
We have received some of the most prestigious awards in the profession, given by highly respected organisations such as the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Gynaecological Investigation, and the Jaume I Award in Clinical Medicine.
