We analyze, debate and promote actions that follow a public-private strategic agenda to strengthen an attitude of innovation and competence among industries in order to raise their competitiveness.
Under the premise “Applying innovative technologies to production,” the activities promoted by the department seek to identify opportunities and promote the development of applications based on nanotechnology, biotechnology, ICT and new production techniques (3d printing, Green Tech). Our main goal is to apply these initiatives in a productive, dynamic and competitive way in order to lead and guide investment towards science and technology.
We create spaces where the actors that generate growth or provide support to companies can meet. We articulate local actors in order to consolidate associative networks of innovation and clusters. We communicate and transmit the offer of resources and support tools provided to the companies by the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation. We diffuse the technological challenges and demands of the productive sector among research institutions.
We raise consciousness of the importance of innovation as a central element in companies’ competitive strategies.
We offer advice on existing programs and services and outline contributions to the development of new initiatives. In the area of Technological Integration, we provide assistance to companies in order for them to carry out projects related to innovation.
All business entities and chambers associated to UIA can appoint members to take part in the activities organized by the department.
