These infrastructures cover a wide variety of sectors, including: electronics, agri-food, biotechnology, energy and environment, automotive, aeronautics, nanotechnology and immersive technologies.
The main objective of this project is to raise awareness of the Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructures (ICTS), highlighting their relevance as drivers of scientific and technological development in Spain. The initiative aims to bring researchers, companies, public administrations and civil society closer to these cutting-edge spaces that contribute to the creation of knowledge and the promotion of innovation.
It is important to note that Spanish science and technology parks are home to 58% of the country's ICTS, being a fundamental pillar for progress in key areas of science and technology.
