The Universitat Jaume I wants to further strengthen its Science and Technology Park, Espaitec, as a hub of innovation in Castellón, according to the rector, Eva Alcón, who has visited Espaitec's facilities accompanied by the president of the Board of Trustees, Sebastián Pla, and other members of this governing body.

During the visit, the manager of the General Foundation and director of Espaitec, Juan Antonio Bertolín, explained the main lines of action of the park, which already brings together 20 companies physically located in its facilities that generate a turnover close to 13 million euros. Likewise, these companies have created a total of 167 jobs, of which almost 25% is related to innovation and development activities. To these figures must be added those of 27 other companies that participate in Espaitec in the virtual accommodation modality and whose business figures cannot be completely attributed to the park, as they also carry out their activity in other facilities.

During his presentation, Bertolín stressed that the main function of the park is to act as a facilitator between entrepreneurs, technology-based companies, the university system and innovation. In this sense, he pointed out that one of the fundamental premises for business projects to be developed in Espaitec is its connection with research groups and the intellectual fabric of the university itself. In this sense, the 20 companies physically installed in Espaitec collaborated last year in 71 national and international research projects, and obtained two national and one international patents. As for technology transfer, the 20 companies installed have collaborated with nine research groups from the Universitat Jaume I.

The members of the Board of Trustees visited the facilities of Espaitec I and Espaitec II, the two buildings in the park that total more than 10,000 square meters for offices and laboratories of innovative companies and activities of the university itself. They also got to know first-hand the activities carried out by the companies in the Innova Maquinaria park, which is virtually linked, and iCARE, S.L., which is physically installed, and those responsible for the first social innovation project promoted by Espaitec within its UJI Emprèn OnSocial programme, Food Ration 4 all.
