Strategic collaboration
By signing this agreement IK4-TEKNIKER has committed itself to collaborating, if EGILE so wishes, in the specifying of its strategic R&D plan by acting as an expert player in technologies and as a technology watch antenna. The two organisations assume that this point will be useful in finding new opportunities for developing products and improving processes.
According to Alejandro Bengoa, IK4-TEKNIKER’s CEO, “in view of the technologies and sectors that EGILE Corporation XXI, S.L. is involved in, this move has a huge potential for IK4-TEKNIKER, so the centre will be throwing itself especially into the projects and proposals it is gearing towards this business group”.
The collaboration agreement also covers access of the companies within the EGILE group to IK4-TEKNIKER’s cutting-edge infrastructure, like its clean room, laboratories or showrooms.
