ADVANTAGES

Advantages of innovation in companies

Companies are a critical element in Spain´s economic, industrial and social development, as they make it easier to create jobs, and develop regions and their economic activity.

R&D&I is fundamental for business competitiveness, making it a key factor for a country´s economic performance. However, this kind of activity requires a high critical mass in financial, human and material resources, whilst implying high risks and broad time-frames. In addition, the development of this activity requires a high level of qualifications and specialization, which are normally outside the area of the basic business of the companies involved.

For these reasons, the Technology Centers make a great deal of human, financial and material resources available to companies, and act as strategic partners, helping to satisfy R&D&I needs and increase the range of products and services offered on the market.

In addition, the Centers make the companies´ investment in innovation more effective, as they can profit from R&D&I activities already begun by redirecting synergies to achieve new results.

The Centers as allies of companies

In Fedit and the Technology Centers, companies have the allies they need to incorporate the most advanced research and the most innovative technology into their processes. The Technology Centers are important support platforms for companies in any sector of industry, and across the whole of Spain. They are leading agents in the competitiveness of companies and in the economic development of the regions, and represent a fundamental element in the internationalization of their clients.

The activity of the Spanish Technology Centers has doubled in the last five years. The key to their success is due to the main added value they provide: their capacity to satisfy the real needs of industry in terms of innovation.
