To find out about the progress, challenges and opportunities of companies in the innovation environment of the PCUV, Beviá visited two of the largest companies in the Parc, ADM-Biopolis and Analog Devices. Our objective is to try to improve our call for science parks and the best way to do it is to get to know the science park from within, to know how they work and what their needs are in order to adapt it to this call for grants.

"They are two very representative examples of what the park is, one as a biotechnology company and the other as an ICT company, and both have a lot of potential, they are large, with a large number of employees, and they have expansion needs. given the impression that this is a bit where the Parc wants to move", observed Beviá.
