Innovation ecosystems are essential to multiply the impact of actions and for the results of R&D&I to accelerate their breakthrough to the market and to society. Cohesive ecosystems create collaboration between agents of a different nature that drives innovation and facilitates the application of results in an agile manner.
The call for Innovation Ecosystems within the scope of the Recovery Plan is scheduled for 2022. It will be a competitive call, aligned with the country's priority technological areas and requiring greater cooperation between agents to optimise the impact of investments and projects carried out under different calls.
One of the priority areas will be aerospace, where a project will be financed that combines activities of cooperation, joint work, dissemination of technology and promotion of entrepreneurship. One of the essential aspects for these ecosystems is to attract innovation among their agents, as well as the dissemination of technological development to bring them to society.
