EURECAT Technology Centre
EURECAT Technology Centre

Spain: Catalonia

Overview

EURECAT is the major Technology Centre of Catalonia, in Spain, and the result of the integration, since the 1st May 2015, of the most important Catalan technology centers: Ascamm, Barcelona Media, BDigital and Cetemmsa. Furthermore, along 2016 two more technology centres have joined EURECAT: Technological Center of Nutrition and Health (CTNS) and Technology Center of Composites (CETECOM).

EURECAT provides the industrial and business sector with differential technology and advanced expertise, it offers solutions to their innovation needs and boosts their competitiveness in a fast-paced environment.

EURECAT combines the experience of over 500 professionals, generating an annual income of €38M.

The new centre serves over a thousand businesses, participates in over 100 national and international R&D&i high level strategic projects, and has 73 international patents and 9 technology-based companies. It is made up of eight centres in Catalonia and one more in Latin America (Brazil).
