What Institut Marques does

Institut Marquès is a Barcelona-headquartered assisted reproduction clinic group operating four physical centers — two in Spain (Barcelona, Sabadell) and two in Italy (Rome, Milan) — with an additional Irish site acquired in 2016 (Clane Fertility Clinic) and a claimed operating history stretching back to approximately 1920. It is currently structured as an affiliate of the Czech-incorporated reproductive-medicine platform FutureLife a.s., and serves self-pay individual patients across heterosexual couples, lesbian couples (via the ROPA method), single mothers, transgender individuals (through fertility preservation), and oncology patients requiring pre-treatment gamete cryopreservation.

The clinical offering spans standard IVF, Mini IVF, IVF with egg or sperm donation, Tandem IVF, embryo donation, artificial insemination, and a full fertility-preservation suite (egg, sperm, and embryo freezing via vitrification). Supporting techniques include PGT preimplantation genetic testing, ICSI and IMSI sperm injection, blastocyst culture, micromanipulation, the Fertile microfluidic sperm-selection chip, an Embryobile patient-facing app for real-time embryo monitoring, and a proprietary Music in Incubators system. Institut Marquès markets publicly reported success-rate metrics (91.5% with donor eggs, 95.1% high-quality embryo rate) and offers an outcome-linked financial product — IM Premium Pregnancy Insurance, refunding 70% of fees if pregnancy is not achieved within three cycles. Sub-brands include Rainbow Fertility Barcelona (LGBTQ+-focused) and the 2018-launched CSR initiative The Embryo Forest.

The business model is a professional-services clinic operation monetized per treatment cycle, with revenue diversified across core IVF procedures, complementary laboratory techniques, fertility preservation, diagnostics, and the refund-guarantee program. Go-to-market is multilingual (6-language website) and oriented toward both domestic patients and cross-border fertility tourism, with direct appointment booking through the website and phone across all four centers.
