Innovation ecosystems are essential for multiplying the impact of actions and for the results of R+D+I to accelerate their arrival in the market and society. When these ecosystems are well cohesive, a collaboration between agents of different nature is provoked that brings innovation and facilitates the application of results in an agile way.
The call for Innovation Ecosystems is planned within the scope of the Recovery Plan in 2022. It will be a competitive call, aligned with the priority technological areas in the country and requiring greater cooperation between agents to optimize the impact of investments and projects carried out under different calls.
One of the areas that will be prioritized will be the aerospace in which a project will be financed that combines activities of cooperation, joint work, dissemination of technology and promotion of entrepreneurship. One of the essential aspects that these ecosystems should have is to link innovation among their agents, as well as the diffusion of technological advances for their arrival in society.
