In the current scenario, marked by great economic, social and environmental challenges, technological innovation becomes a fundamental pillar to promote progress and well-being. At Eurecat we face these challenges with a firm commitment to the creation or improvement of services, products, processes and business models with impact.
One of our singularities is the ability we have to combine multiple technological disciplines, a fact that is of increasing importance to be able to respond to the increasingly complex solutions required by companies, administrations and society as a whole.
Whether you are an SME, a large company, a startup or a public administration:
We can help you!
- Conceptualizing and executing R+D+I projects: either by direct recruitment or by taking advantage of the different instruments that the administrations make available for the competitiveness of the company.
- Creating stable collaboration agreements (Joint Research Units): we seek to be the company’s R+D+I partner and encourage stable collaborations that help systematize innovation and establish long-term plans.
Eurecat is currently working on more than 200 applied R&D projects of high strategic value. Applied research projects account for as much as 92% of the centre’s activities, enabling new scientific and technological developments, in-house technology generation and transfer to enterprise to improve processes for creating new products and services.
