Description

TECNALIA RESEARCH & INNOVATION is a private, independent, non profit applied research center of international excellence. Legally a Foundation, Tecnalia is the leading private and independent research and technology organisation in Spain and one of the largest in Europe, employing 1,401 people (288 PhDs) and with income of 128 Million € in 2022.

The whole team at TECNALIA has one GOAL: to Transform Research into Prosperity to improve people’s quality of life by means of innovation and technological development addressed to Energy Transition, Digital Transformation, Urban Ecosystems, Sustainable Mobility, Personalised Health and Intelligent Manufacturing. TECNALIA has been granted 851 patents (within 205 families) and promoted more than 30 spin-off companies.

TECNALIA is a key agent in the ERA - European Research Area. TECNALIA actively participates in the governing bodies of several European R&I Partnerships, ETPs, etc (ADRA, Process4Planet, EERA, several EIT KICs …). Within the H2020 Framework Programme TECNALIA participates in 353 projects, coordinating 73 of them (EC data), not counting EIT KIC projects. Regarding Horizon Europe, up to the end of 2022, TECNALIA participates in 94 projects coordinating 16 of them. TECNALIA is a member of EARTO and of EUROTECH, linking together the most important RTOs in Europe.

In TECNALIA’s Smart Manufacturing, Industry is in our DNA. For decades, TECNALIA has solved innovation challenges alongside manufacturing companies by integrating the right automation solutions into each process, applying the latest technologies in mechatronics, developing new materials and implementing simulations to manage the performance of manufacturing processes.

Today, thanks to the Industry 4.0 manufacturing is no longer just physical. However, digital data alone does not move business forward. Only by hybridising both worlds can we positively impact the productivity and competitiveness of industrial companies, while increasing the efficiency and sustainability of their processes and products.

Thus, in our experience, we bring an industrial sense to the digital innovations of the connectivity and data revolution, which we will integrate into the new systems, materials, and technologies brought to us by Smart Manufacturing.
