    mujer en área digitalizada representando transferencia de tecnología en TECNALIA ventures

    We are TECNALIA Ventures, TECNALIA’s deeptech Venture Builder

    We value TECNALIA’s investment in R&D and Innovation, identifying and managing business opportunities based on sophisticated technologies (deeptech), through a venture building process.

    To do so, we connect the three main pillars of any innovation eco-system:

    • Generators of technology-based ideas (minds).
    • Managers capable of transforming technological ideas into business opportunities  (management).
    • Investors who support deeptech entrepreneurial initiatives (money).

    Discover our portfolio of technological assets and deeptech start-ups (invested companies) and DeepTech4Impact, the deeptech accelerator that deploys all the technological potential of TECNALIA to boost start-ups.

    As a result of this, TECNALIA obtained income of € 6.9 million from the Sale of Industrial Property, which is a 4.7% of the total turnover (147 million euros)
