Annual Report
for the Basque Country
Technology Park Network
2010
Introduction
In spite of the difficult economic climate, in 2010, the Basque Country Technology Park network and the companies in each of the 3 Parks and in the Garaia Innovation Pole, managed to
end the financial year with positive figures in terms of employment and employment quality,
number of companies and turnover. And, one more time they demonstrated that the path of
survival in difficult times passes innovation, creativity and technological renewal.
Moreover, this year we have embarked upon major projects such as the start-up of the BTEK
Technology Interpretation Centre in Bizkaia, and made significant progress in the expansion of
the Parks, principally in Bizkaia with the UPV/EHU Science Park and the Left Bank Technology
Park, and also in Álava and San Sebastián, with the purchase of land for the expansions in
Miñano and Galarreta (Hernani), respectively.
In 2010, we have added 16 new companies to the parks in
the network, bringing the total to 428, with almost 500 more
direct jobs (14,418 at the close of year) and a turnover of
3,530 million Euros, 34 million more than the previous financial year.
The objective of all this is for the parks to continue to be poles of innovation and technology,
providing an area in which innovative companies are located together, offering points of reference to other companies. Not in vain is 30% of the Basque economy’s expenditure on R&D&I
and 39% of that of Basque companies located in the Basque Parks.
2
This is why, from the Euskadi Network of Parks, and in line with the policies derived from the
Plan for Business Competiveness of the Basque Country, we continue to back innovation, the
development of those companies already installed and support for new technological businesses as efficient tools against the recession, so that the parks continue to be spaces with
large flows of knowledge about the Basque system of innovation and where it is possible to
support science and technology with business reality.

The Network and its
objectives
6
The Basque Country Technology Park Network is formed of the
Technology Parks of Alava, Bizkaia and San Sebastian and the
Garaia Innovation Pole, four infrastructures strategically placed
in the three regions of the Basque Regional Community. They are
home to Companies, Technological Centres, University Research
Units and Research Centres with a high technological component.
This makes the Network an essential part of the Basque System for
Science, Technology and Innovation.
The main difference between the Technology Parks and the Innovation Pole is that in the
former, the majority shareholder is the Basque Government through the SPRI, and in Garaia it
is the MCC Foundation.
The philosophy of the Basque Country Technology Park Network is based on the co-ordination
of action taken in each of the four parks, with a strategy of orientation towards complementary technological areas and using a telecommunications system that permits the interconnection of all the businesses operating in these parks.
Its objectives include:
• The location of technologically advanced businesses, operating in sectors of the future,
with a huge capacity for generating added value and highly qualified personnel.
• The promotion of cooperation among businesses and between the businesses and Universities and Technology Centres.
• Supporting the creation of new technology-based companies, with the start-up of business
nurseries and incubators.
• The formation of centres for diffusing technology and innovation culture towards their surrounding environments.
• Contributing to the diversification and innovation of industry in the Basque Country, with
consideration for the specific characteristics of the industrial network of each region from
the different locations of the four Technology Parks.

The year in
figures
No of businesses, turnover and employment
The Basque Country Technology Park Network ended the 2010 financial year with positive
figures, especially with respect to employment, the number of companies, their turnover and
the quality of jobs. The number of registered companies in December last year in the Technology Parks of Alava, Bizkaia and San Sebastian, and in the Garaia Pole of Innovation, amounted to 428 (412 in 2009) and the number of direct jobs came to 14,418 (13,922 in 2009).
In addition, the turnover of the companies located in the Basque Parks came to 3,530 million
Euros, 34 million more than in 2009.

Quality of employment and R&D
The quality of employment and the turnover allocated to R&D in Basque Parks is another relevant figure to be considered. In 2010, the expenditure of the companies installed in the parks
allocated to R&D amounted to 12% (11% in 2009) of their turnover.
Approximately 23% of personnel are under 30 years of age, a similar figure to that of 2009
(22%). 46% of the staff employed in these centres are university graduates (in 2009 there
were 44%) and 30% are working in R&D (28% in 2009).
In addition, it should be noted that of the total number of companies installed in the Basque
Parks, more than 70% did not previously exist. In other words they are newly created companies, either because they are new or because they did not previously exist in Euskadi and
have set up business here.
In addition, with respect to the concentration of R&D activity and by extrapolating the figures
collected by Eustat for 2009 concerning R&D expenditure in Euskadi on activities in the Park
Network, 30% of the total R&D expenditure in the Basque Country and 39% of the expenditure of Basque Companies on R&D takes place in the technology parks.

Areas and occupation
One of the tasks of the Technology Parks and the Garaia Pole is to provide areas for the location of companies involved in technology, innovation and research, to encourage them to
become poles of attraction for R&D&I. In some cases, the parks are buildings that house the
companies and technology centres and, in other cases, the companies themselves construct
their own buildings after the park has negotiated the plot.
In this respect, on 31 December 2010, the parks managed 2.16 million square metres of industrial building land, of which more than 66% has been sold or built on.
The total building capacity of this area amounts to 1.2 million metres, of which 56% (541,464
square metres) have been constructed by businesses while the remaining 140,346 square
metres are Park buildings for the installation of companies within.
The buildings constructed by the Parks for use by companies are 73% occupied.

Promoting
innovation
An important objective of the Basque Country Technology Park
Network, through the parks in the network, is to promote and
encourage innovation in the park environment, by offering
firms and organisations located in the parks opportunities for
the transfer of technology between firms, research centres and
universities, access to national and international networks
and support for entrepreneurs, diffusion and training in technologies and advanced management of firms in coordination with
the institutions, acting as proximity agents. Several activities
were carried out by the Parks in 2010 in this area:
With respect to R&D&I projects for the improvement of sustainability, in 2010 the Science
and Technology Park of Bizkaia continued the active sustainability forum between firms and
organisations of the park, and the active participation in two European projects relating to
renewable energies:
•Sunflower (2008-2011): work was carried out on the last phase of the European project
“Sunflower”, part of the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) scheme, for the regional development of depressed areas of Europe with a high potential for renewable energies, in which
the Technology Park has submitted its development model.
• Life+Zero+Hytechpark (2009-2013). The project started for the use of Hydrogen-based energies with the Walqa Technology Park, the Malaga Technology Park and Aragon Hydrogen
Centre.
In addition, the Park continued working on the promotion of business cooperation, networks
and forums, which aim to encourage collaboration and joint learning, through actions including the Topagunet network (Training and Employment Forum) and the following two projects
at national level for promoting cooperation:
19
•Network of Business Co-operation, Transfer of knowledge and management of R&D among
41 Science and Technology Parks belonging to the APTE (Association of Spanish Science
and Technology Parks) financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
• In addition, the Science and Technology Park of Bizkaia also took part in the COPIT project,
for the promotion of cooperation between Industrial Estates and Technology Parks in coordination with SPRILUR and the industrial estates of Torrelarragoiti (Zamudio) and Laseme
(Estella). This project was financed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, through the
associations CEPE and APTE, together with the EOI.
With respect to grant management:
• R&D projects for technology-based projects were financed wit grants from the Ministry of
Science and Innovation: 4 hallmark projects of the Park, with 25 million Euros in credits,
through aids to science and technology Infrastructures “Innplanta”.

Pole of innovation
Garaia
The Garaia Innovation Pole is essentially motivated by a strong will to back modernisation and
competitiveness in the Basque Country, so that it is among the more advanced regions in the
new regional distribution of development.
The GARAIA Innovation Pole was initially conceived as an infrastructure to support innovation.
It is led by a private initiative from MONDRAGON, with the support of scientific knowledge
from Mondragón Unibertsitatea, and of research from the Ikerlan Technology Centre and has
the backing of several public institutions, including the Basque Government, through SPRILUR,
the Gipuzkoa Regional Council and Arrasate City Council.
The idea behind the Garaia Innovation Pole is based on the
promotion of innovation by bringing suppliers of scientific
knowledge in touch with each other in a unique space (Universities, technology centres) and customers of Innovation (R&D
units of companies).
The idea behind the Garaia Innovation Pole is based on the promotion of innovation by bringing suppliers of scientific knowledge in touch with each other in a unique space (Universities,
technology centres) and customers of Innovation (R&D units of companies).
It aims to create a meeting point that enables daily contact and the exchange of ideas and
knowledge among university scientists, technology centres and R&D centres.
This exchange of knowledge and ideas fosters the generation of ideas which can be exploited
into new products and processes, and the feedback of the research activity carried out in the
Pole.
It was founded on 28 December 2000 with a social capital of 20,001,000 Euros.
Objectives:
1.- To promote the introduction of new technologies and the competitive strengthening of the
industrial network.
2.- To foster the creation of qualified jobs, the emergence of new companies and the diversification of the economic network.
3.- To establish a fruitful collaboration between universities, technology centres and companies to enable a qualitative leap in research over the long-term.
4.-To create a space of excellence that enables research to be fostered in the long-term in
the framework of technological innovation, by bringing the different components of the
innovation process into contact: universities, technology centres and R&D departments of
the companies.
47
Added Value provided by GARAIA
1.- A physical space suited to R&D activities.
2.- Sharing of the space and interaction with other R&D units. Horizontal fertilisation of innovative ideas.
3.- Presence of technology centres including: Ikerlan, Isea, Edertek...
4.- Presence of the University (MU-MGEP)
5.- Located in the dynamic industrial environment.
6.- Excellence in R&D in certain technological areas.
7.- Presence in the environment of knowledge-intensive companies: offer of engineering and
consultancy services.

Most relevant conferences in 2010
04/2010: II. EKOKALEAK for sustainable urban furniture ideas
Ekokaleak is a sustainable urban furniture event for vocational training students on the different Building and Civil Engineering courses. It aims to design a piece of urban furniture
with sustainable criteria. The first edition of the event involved the presentation of ideas for
“Bicycle parking” and this year the subject is “Waste-paper bins”.
This competition forms part of the Technical Conferences for professionals from the Construction sector organised by Arizmendi every year.
30/04/2010: IV. Technical Conferences “The 21st century home”
The 21st century has brought with it numerous changes and new concerns for society. The
construction sector has not been unaffected by these changes. Today, sustainable development is one of the leading challenges: society requires that the materials used are not harmful
to the environment, and also demands the use of energy optimisation systems or the correct
waste management…all within an ever more demanding legal context.
50
The subject chosen in GARAIA was Prefabrication, i.e. the construction system based on the
design and production of components and subsystems manufactured in series in a factory
away from the final location which, after a simple, precise assembly procedure requiring relatively little labour, come together to form all or part of a building or construction.
Top quality speakers presented the conference and almost 200 people attended.
18/06/2010: Presentation of the MONDRAGON Electric Car
On 18 June the new project “Electric car-sustainable mobility” from the MONDRAGON Corporation was presented at the GARAIA Pole of Innovation. MONDRAGON is to invest approximately 15 million Euros in the development of the “pure” electric car, powered solely by
batteries.
As the Chairman of the Corporation remarked, the project for the electric car has enabled an
advance in innovation and “given a value to the knowledge” developed by 35 researchers over
a year and a half. Also of note is the progress in the cooperation of approximately twenty companies and technology centres from the group, and the “sustainability” of the project which
will permit a huge “social profitability”, with the creation of “value added” jobs.
2/06/2010: Meeting of innovators
A meeting attended by employees and agents working towards an innovative Gipuzkoa, in
which experiences, projects and expectations on the future development of the historic region
are shared. Speakers at the conference used a different and innovative format of presentation: the “Pecha Kucha” (this format was originally created in Tokyo as a model for simple,
informal and efficient presentations, limiting users to a total of 20 images which advance
every 20 seconds.
In the last part of the meeting, a debate took place on the “Indicators of innovation in the
region of Gipuzkoa”.
51
7/10/2010: 4th Forokoop Congress: Social Innovation in the Company
FOROKOOP is presented as a combined face-to-face and virtual model. Over this time, the
virtual forum has been strengthened, enabling continuous discussion without geographical
barriers. The 4th Conference is to be held on 07.10.2010, and proposes a very interesting
challenge, “Social innovation in the company”.
The details of the programme given below are based on an efficient and participatory model.
Therefore, the “utopias”, debates presented by each pair of speakers, are complemented with
World Coffee, and take place mid-morning, and at the close of the conference.
The objective of the conference, once again, is to ensure that the final conclusions and proposals for action are able to generate specific initiatives which, in collaboration with the
organisers of the event, lead to an effective improvement in the approach and treatment of
the participation.
19/11/2010: The Elkar ezagutzen conference
This conference was carried out in order to strengthen companies created in the same environment. At the conference, experts tried to help and strengthen companies created in the
GARAIA environment.
26/11/2010: Incubator: SAIOLAN Centre of Innovation Companies
New entrepreneurs and their instructors were introduced.
The conference gave examples of companies that had grown from the incubator with details
of their career path and current status.
52
GARAIA ENPRESA DIGITALA
This was the result of the meeting of two plans and two minds: “Euskadi Plan in the Information Society 2010”, led by the Basque Government and “Plan i-gipuzkoa2010”, promoted by
the Gipuzkoa Regional Council.
Courses on ICTs lasting two or three days per week are offered or one day conferences.
