Gipuzkoa : Vanguardia Económica y Empresarial
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, and under the auspices of the Basque Government, Technological Centres carry out the necessary 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. 
Eight guipuzcoan technological centres work on research projects involving new materials, aerospatial technology, telecommunications, electronics, energy, machine-tool design and nutrition and fishing. In addition to this important work, is that 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. This park offers an ideal location for service companies, associations, research centres and "white coat" technological industries. This, together with the creation of the Zuatsu Business Park, completes the make up of a modern industrial estate offering the latest in business services. |
