Gipuzkoa
holds a higher than average position with respect to Spanish
investment in R+D and has outstanding technological potential
compared to the rest of Spain. Behind these statistics lies
an industrial framework which promotes research and is backed
by the Basque institutions. These solid foundations permit the
carrying out of advanced research, the results of which are
put into practice by Guipuzcoan industries.
Similarly, the Technological Centres, complying with the Basque
Plan of Science, Technology and Innovation, are carrying out
the essential task of transferring technology to small and medium-sized
companies which, precisely because of their size, are unable
to make large investments in technological developments. |

In
Gipuzkoa the following technological centres -CEIT,
IKERLAN, INASMET,
TEKNIKER
and AZTI, CIDEMCO,CIDETEC,
FATRONIK, IDEKO,
INBIOMED and VICOMTECH-
work on research projects involving new materials, aerospatial technology,
telecommunications, electronics, energy, nutrition and fishing research,
machine-tool design, biomedicine, multimedia technologies, microtech-nologies…
etc. In addition to this important work, is that one carried out by
schools and university faculties, which put great effort and financial
backing into Research. San Sebastian has its own modern Technology
Park, which stands in beautiful natural surroundings only five
minutes from the city centre and has one of the most advanced communications
network in Spain. The park offers an ideal location for high technology
companies, R&D centres and laboratories, and advanced service
companies and institutes.
Another Scientific-Technological Park, GARAIA, is now starting up
in Mondragón, around Mondragón University and Mondragón
Cooperative Corporation MCC.
In the whole territory there is a choice of industrial soil made up
of several business parks and industrial estates offering the latest
in business services. |
