• Good Practices identification and evaluation set out in 4 phases and an objective decision making process focused on attributes and matrix-based approach.
• Identification and managing innovation and industry-driven projects focused on TRLs bridging the valley of death (Tractor Projects).
• Technology Transfer Plan. Identification of exploitable results, complementary analysis of IPR protection strategies and exploitation opportunities. Internal and External approach from the consortium’s point of view.

  3. Capacity for community  building development and coordination of international networks

  4. Expertise in Innovation Policies, Regional Strategies, social innovation strategies.

About NAITEC

     NAITEC (http://www.naitec.es/) is a technological center and its main goal is to contribute in the development of the automotive and mechatronics sector. To achieve this, NAITEC has the vocation of being an international reference in the R&D of technologies capable of achieving these developments.

     NAITEC was born as an initiative of the Navarra’s Government, with the support of CEMITEC, the previous technology center (with more than 25 years of experience), and of the Public University of Navarra, UPNA, who agreed to create this new technological center whose objective is to promote the development of technologies capable of developing the automotive and mechatronics sector. Both are priority lines of the Strategic Plan of the Government of Navarra.
