Alignment between business, research centres and government
translates into intense collaboration in R&D projects
Companies and players in the scientific-technological field of Basque Country are conducting joint activities of R&D in the area of wave energy.This is complemented in parallel by the regional existing expertise in marine renewable energy technologies, based on inter-cluster collaborations with a network of high experienced research groups, based on technological excellence, that are reference in energy wave projects within the EU framework programme such as TECNALIA, which also chairs the ‘Ocean Energy Systems’ association.
