The main feature of the current marketplace is its strongly competitive and global profile. Conquering it poses a great challenge for companies and Technology Centers with future prospects. The international establishment of Technology Centers affords future commercial opportunities, fosters the sharing of knowledge and a cultural exchange, breaks through geographic barriers (unknown in the innovation and technology development domain), and provides profitable synergies and strategic alliances.
Fedit watches over the strengthening of Spanish companies through the Research, Development and Innovation carried out by Technology Centers. In an increasingly globalized and R&D intensive marketplace Technology Centers can help Spanish companies define their strategy in a global scene and follow a consistent business model:
-Fostering cooperation as the key for success in global markets
-Watching over international technology
-Attracting knowledge and implementing it in the Spanish industry
-Transferring new knowledge and diffusing it across surrounding companies
-The access of Spanish technology companies to funding sources
These first steps towards internationalization are risk laden and often do not garner the expected results. Hence, there are plenty of support tools – financial and logistic – for companies and Technology Centers.
