R&D collaboration opportunites for SMEs (EU funds)
LEITAT is a Technological Centre specialized in environment and production technologies. Our company develops R&D activities in the areas of materials sciences, surface treatments, engineering and industrial design, renewable energies, environment, and biotechnology with deep knowledge and experience in technological transfers to several industrial sectors.
Aware of the opportunities offered by European Union and knowing the potential impact of these projects on the competitiveness of companies, LEITAT proposes to SMEs to collaborate in the framework of European projects. The objective is to inform the companies about the opportunities existing for their business at EU level and to support them in the preparation and implementation of an EU funded project.
LEITAT proposes to SMEs a full package of services which includes all the different stages of a proposal submission. The first and main added value, our centre offers to companies is its wide range of technological solutions. Thanks to our six R&D areas, we assess SMEs in the analysis and definition of their technological needs in order to improve and make more competitive, efficient and environmentally friendly their products or processes. Active in all the different stages of the R&D&I chain, LEITAT supports entities from the early development of their idea to the last step of technology transfer and future commercialisation. In the framework of the above mentioned programmes, our teams work on the identification of the company’s needs and the definition of a technology plan in order to make more efficient and competitive their service. In addition to our expertise as technological centre, we also provide support in the field of EU project management.
