Linqcase Industrial Solutions (branded "LINQ") builds non-destructive testing equipment that uses advanced electromagnetic analysis (Barkhausen noise) plus AI/vision to verify the mechanical properties of metal parts in-line, letting manufacturers inspect 100% of production without destroying samples; its BAT S, BAT G and BAT SM machines cover shafts, gears and sheet metal. Founded in 2018 in Donostia-San Sebastián as a spin-off/technology transfer from the Ceit technology centre by a group of four entrepreneurs led by ex-Etxe-Tar executive Ibon Iribarren, it is a seed-stage deeptech with roughly 16-50 staff serving automotive OEMs and Tier 1s including Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Nexteer, JTEKT and Beko. It won the EmprendeXXI award in the Basque Country (2022), raised a €1.24M round in March 2022, and in April 2026 was awarded €2.2M under Spain's Programa de Impulso de la Cadena de Valor Industrial (public industrial aid, not venture capital). It is headquartered in Astigarraga (Gipuzkoa).
