INVAP S.E. (Spanish: Investigaciones Aplicadas Sociedad del Estado, "Applied Research, State Enterprise") is an Argentine high-technology company without any international patents owned by the federal government dedicated to research and development in areas of high complexity such as nuclear energy, space technology, industrial technology, and medical and scientific equipment.
