“The Science, Technology and Innovation Plan seeks to turn the Basque Country into a European benchmark”

Posted on mayo 6, 2023mayo 6, 2023 by BasqueScience

The Basque Country is one of the most advanced territories in Europe, even though it is a small region, the possibilities for further growth are immense. Furthermore, the targets set in the Science, Technology and Innovation Plan 2030 (PCTI 2030) will place the Basque Country as one of the most advanced regions of the continent in research and development.

Science, technology and R&D are constantly developing, concentrating their efforts on energy and climate change, advanced technology-based industry and digitalization; and finally, social and healthcare transition. A good example of the cooperation between companies and universities is the dual training and practice offered by the University of Mondragon, so that students are prepared in the framework of the business world.

It is also worth highlighting the implementation of clean energy projects, R&D solutions and personalized health, together with the promotion and support of local talent, which must be retained in the region in order to improve the competitiveness of Basque companies in international markets.

The PCTI Euskadi 2030 aims to improve the standard of living and the employment quality through a policy of innovation, based on the pillars of scientific excellence, technological and industrial leadership and open innovation.

To achieve these targets, four goals have been established, which will be measured through the use of specific indicators. The first goal establishes the maximization of the Basque R&D&I direction. The second establishes the promotion of R&D&I activity in companies, focusing on SMEs. Thirdly, the internationalization of Basque R&D&I must be boosted. Finally, to promote research talent, especially among women.

In a nutshell, PCTI 2030 is a long-term plan designed to contribute to the consolidation of the Basque Country as an international benchmark in R&D&I and to have a positive impact on economic growth, the creation of quality employment and social welfare in the region.

“El Plan de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación busca convertir Euskadi en una referencia europea”

Euskadi es uno de los territorios más avanzados de Europa, que aun siendo una región pequeña, las posibilidades de seguir creciendo son inmensas. Es más, los objetivos establecidos en el el Plan de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación 2030 (PCTI 2030) colocaron  a Euskadi como una de las regiones más adelantadas del continente en innovación e investigación.

La ciencia, tecnología e I+D se desarrollan constantemente, concentrado sus esfuerzos en la energía y cambio climático, industria avanzada basada en la tecnología y digitalización; y finalmente, la transición social y sanitaria.

El PCTI Euskadi 2030 establece objetivos concretos para la cooperación entre empresas, universidades y centros de investigación y así promover la investigación e innovación en el País Vasco. Un ejemplo de la cooperación entre empresas y universidades es la formación y práctica dual ofrecida por la Universidad de Mondragón, de forma que los alumnos son preparados en el marco del mundo empresarial.

También, cabe resaltar la puesta en marcha de proyectos de energías limpias, soluciones de I+D y salud personalizada, junto con la promoción y apoyo del talento propio, el cual ha de ser retenido en la región para así mejorar la competitividad de la empresa vasca en los mercados internacionales.

El PCTI Euskadi 2030 busca mejorar el nivel de vida y la calidad del empleo mediante una política de innovación, sosteniéndose en los pilares de la excelencia científica, el liderazgo tecnológico e industrial y la innovación abierta.

Para ello, se han establecido cuatro objetivos que se medirán mediante el uso de indicadores específicos. El primer objetivo establece la maximización de la orientación de la I+D+i  vasca. El segundo establece en el impulso de la actividad de la de I+D+i en las empresas, centrándose en las pymes. Tercero, se tiene que potenciar la internacionalización de la I+D+i vasca. En último lugar, impulsar el talento investigador, especialmente entre lasmujeres.

Resumidamente, PCTI 2030 es un plan a largo plazo diseñado para que contribuya a la consolidación de Euskadi como un referente en I+D+i a nivel internacional y que tenga un impacto positivo en el crecimiento económico, la creación de empleo de calidad y el bienestar social de la región.
