We value TECNALIA’s investment in R&D and Innovation, identifying and managing business opportunities based on sophisticated technologies (deep tech), 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 deep tech entrepreneurial initiatives (money).
