Euskadi and Navarra, at the forefront of Europe in innovation / a la cabeza de Europa en innovación

Posted on November 1, 2021November 5, 2021 by info

The Basque Autonomous Community and Navarra are recognised for their technological and business progress, which places them at the top of the European ranking in terms of innovation.

La CAV y la Comunidad Foral están reconocidas por su avance tecnológico y empresarial, lo que les sitúa en lo más alto del ranking europeo en materia de innovación.

In a constantly evolving ecosystem, the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC) and Navarra are signing up to a future full of improvements thanks to the implementation of innovation. Changes are accelerating. Without going any further, the BAC is among the 100 most innovative regions in Europe and stands out for its clear commitment to technology and advice to small and large companies. In Navarra, the automotive, renewable energies, food and health sectors predominate: four fundamental pillars for society and the environment.

Likewise, both communities have specific departments for innovation guidance: Euskadi has Innobasque (Basque Innovation Agency) while Navarra does so through the University, Innovation and Digital Transformation department.

In July, a report was presented in which it became clear that the Basque Country is the only region in Spain in the ranking of Europe with the highest expenditure. In other words, the BAC stands out for its good position in business innovation. It is also clearly committed to technological development.

Among the objectives of Innobasque are to promote an increase in innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Basque Country, to encourage the interest of Basque youth in science and technology, especially among women, and to increase the presence of Basque R&D&I at an international level.

Euskadi’s clear commitment to supporting SMEs has led it to launch the Hazinnova program, which was presented in September and in which 342 Basque SMEs participated, and whose objective is to provide innovative advice to small companies.

For its part, Navarra, like its neighboring community, is also moving towards a future of change. To this end, according to a report on digitalization by UGT, Navarre invested 366.6 million euros in innovation in 2019, which is the latest data available.

Among its innovative projects is Eguralt, a European project that promotes the use of wood for building construction. It also aims to contribute to the global challenge of combating climate change by promoting the use of natural materials from sustainable and renewable sources.

On the other hand, both the Basque and Navarra Autonomous Communities support projects originated by people committed to innovation that generate socioeconomic impact. Start-ups are an example of the most current innovative movements. They stand out for their dynamism, they are highly innovative and flexible proposals, which allows them to propose solutions that cannot be developed by large companies. Supporting these innovative projects is essential to place them at the top of Europe.

En un ecosistema de constante evolución, para no quedarse atrás, la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca y Navarra firman un futuro repleto de mejoras producidos gracias a la implantación de la innovación. Los cambios son acelerados. Sin ir más lejos, la CAV se encuentra entre las 100 regiones más innovadoras de toda Europa y destaca por su clara apuesta por la tecnología y el asesoramiento a las pequeñas y grandes empresas. En Navarra, predominan la automoción, las energías renovables, la alimentación y la salud: cuatro patas fundamentales para la sociedad y el medio ambiente.

Asimismo, ambas comunidades cuentan con departamentos específicos para la orientación en materia de innovación: Euskadi cuenta con Innobasque (Agencia Vasca de Innovación) mientras que Navarra lo hace de la mano del departamento de Universidad, Innovación y Transformación Digital.

En julio se presentó un informe en el que quedaba patente que Euskadi es la única región del Estado dentro del ranking de europeas con mayor gasto. Es decir, la CAV destaca por su buena posición en innovación empresarial.Igualmente, realiza una apuesta clara en cuanto al desarrollo tecnológico.

Entre los objetivos de Innobasque, se encuentran propiciar un aumento de la innovación en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) de Euskadi, fomentar el interés de la juventud vasca por la ciencia y la tecnología, especialmente entre las mujeres, e incrementar la presencia de la I+D+i vasca a un nivel internacional.

La clara apuesta de Euskadi por apoyar a las pymes le ha llevado a lanzar el programa Hazinnova que se presentó en septiembre y en el que participaron 342 pymes vascas, y cuyo objetivo es proporcionar asesoramiento innovador a las pequeñas empresas. 

Por su parte, Navarra al igual que su comunidad vecina, también avanza hacia un futuro de cambios. Para ello, según un informe sobre la digitalización de UGT, Navarra invirtió 366,6 millones de euros en innovación en 2019, que es el último dato disponible. 

Entre sus proyectos innovadores destaca Eguralt, un proyecto europeo que promueve el uso de la madera en altura. Además, nace con el cometido de contribuir al reto global de la lucha contra el cambio climático a través de la promoción del uso de materiales naturales provenientes de fuentes sostenibles y renovables.

Por otro lado, tanto la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca como la Navarra respaldan los proyectos originados por personas comprometidas con la innovación que generen impacto socioeconómico. Las startups son ejemplo de los movimientos innovadores más actuales. Estas destacan por su dinamismo, son propuestas altamente innovadoras y flexibles, lo que les permite proponer soluciones que no pueden ser desarrolladas por grandes empresas. Apoyar estos proyectos innovadores es esencial para situarse en lo más alto de Europa.
