Nowadays, research and development is crucial for companies, as well as universities. As a result, the technology centres for R&D projects become increasingly important.
If your SME is located on one of the technology centres for R&D projects, it is possible to opt for a funding line from the Entrepreneurial Competitiveness Insitute. In the Centro de Atracción de Inversiones LeónUP we help you submit the application form to opt for your financial aid. You also need to know that, in the case of León city, if your SME develops its project with, for example, INBIOTEC, it will be able to receive financial aids of up to 40% of its total cost. We have to stress that this advantage is not provided in other places in Spain, only in León.
In León we have several technology centres for R&D projects: the Biotechnology Institute (Instituto de Biotecnología – Inbiotec), the Experimental Agricultural Station (Estación Agrícola Experimental), affiliated to the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), the Mountain Farming Institute (Instituto de Ganadería de Montaña), affiliated to the CSIC and León University. León University itself boasts several technology centres for R&D projects: the Institute for Molecular, Genome and Proteomic Biology (Instituto de Biología Molecular, Genómica y Proteómica), the Institute for Livestock Development and Animal Health (Instituto de Desarrollo Ganadero y Sanidad Animal), the Vineyard and Wine Research Institute (Instituto de Investigación de la Viña y el Vino) and the Institute for Environment, Natural Resources and Biodiversity (Instituto de Medio Ambiente, Recursos Naturales y Biodiversidad).
At a regional level, we have “the Castilla y León Supercomputing Centre Foundation (SCAYLE), a non-profit Organisation included in the Public Sector of Castilla y León, whose main activity is the improvement of research tasks in universities, R&D centres and companies in Castilla y León”.
