Three initiatives boosting the industry of the future
The Advanced Manufacturing Awards 2026 have recognised TECNALIA as a finalist in three categories that reflect its commitment to a smarter, more automated and more sustainable industry. This recognition highlights the impact of its initiatives in areas that are strategic for business competitiveness and industrial transformation.
The shortlisted entries are:

- GIDARC, in the Best Automated Production and Robotic Integration category, for its contribution to the development of autonomous welding and additive manufacturing solutions.
- RECONMATIC, a finalist in the Best Sustainable Project and Circular Economy category, for its contribution to advanced construction and demolition waste management aimed at maximising its recovery and reuse.
Furthermore, Robotic Solutions for Warehouse Automation | TrebezIA, a startup created and driven by TECNALIA, is also a finalist in the Best Automated Production and Robotic Integration category, thanks to its autonomous mobile robot for multi-product picking without infrastructure in logistics warehouses
The public vote is already underway
Alongside the assessment by the professional jury, the awards include a public voting round. This initiative offers an opportunity to raise the profile of proposals that help to accelerate the transition towards a more competitive, digital and sustainable industry.
TECNALIA would like to invite anyone interested in industrial innovation to find out more about these initiatives and support them in the awards. Every vote helps to recognise the work carried out to address some of the key challenges facing the manufacturing sector, from advanced automation to the circular economy.
