Espaitec, the Science and Technology Park of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló, managed by the General Foundation of the UJI, consolidates its annual growth. One of its main objectives is to remain as the technological hub of reference, with the promotion of entrepreneurship, innovation and knowledge transfer to the society of the province of Castelló.

Every year, Espaitec monitors the Park's companies through a series of indicators, which detail data related to turnover, employment, knowledge transfer and collaboration between university and business.

**Companies and turnover**

At the end of the financial year 2021, Espaitec had 29 companies installed in the Park with a total turnover of 82.2 million euros, a figure that represents an increase of around 15% compared to the turnover of the financial year 2020, which confirms the growing trend of recent years. Another of the aspects to be highlighted is the investment in R&D, close to 2 million euros, specifically 1,884,306.91 euros, made by all the firms installed in the Park.

In terms of sectors, if we consider the 48 companies installed or linked to the Park, the information technologies and telecommunications (ICT) sector stands out with 47.91%, a sector in which all kinds of services are offered, from solutions based on blockchain or the internet of things (IoT), to industrial digitalisation projects or the development of applications. Regarding the innovative services sector (14.58%), companies operate in the audiovisual or social innovation fields, among others. The energy and environment sector accounts for 12.6% of activity; the materials, nanotechnology, optics and electronics sector accounts for 8.33%, as does the industrial technology sector. Finally, the marketing sector and the biotechnology and health sector account for 4.16% each.

**Employment and recruitment of university talent**

A total of 353 people work in the companies located in the Park, 253 men and 100 women. Of the total number of workers, 18.27% carry out qualified employment activities directly related to research and development.

With regard to the recruitment of university talent, during the 2021 financial year, the companies installed in the Park have taken on 36 students on internships, both through the Office of Professional Insertion and Internships of the UJI (OIPEP) and the Universitat Jaume I-Empresa Foundation (FUE-UJI). It should be noted that during 2021 the companies have hired 30 new graduates of the UJI and, currently, 153 workers are graduates of the University, which represents 43.34% of the total workforce.

**Expansion: national and international presence**

With regard to the presence of companies established in other territories, it is worth highlighting that 65.51% of them are active outside the province of Castellón. In addition, 20.68% of the firms operate internationally in the following countries: Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru, the United States, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Austria, France and Italy. It should also be noted that several Espaitec companies have main subsidiaries in European countries such as Switzerland and Belgium.

**Transfer and university-business collaboration**

In 2021 the companies linked to Espaitec (installed and virtual) have collaborated with R&D groups of the Universitat Jaume I through articles 83 (LOU) for an amount of more than 2 million euros, developing joint projects with groups such as the Temporal Knowledge Bases Group (TKBG), Polymers and Advanced Materials (PIMA) or the Group of Teaching, Learning and Technology (GREAT).

The installed companies collaborate with 14 research groups of the UJI through specific contracts for the development of projects or regular collaborations. In addition, a large percentage of the firms installed in the park regularly collaborate with activities organised by the Universitat Jaume I, in conferences, participating in workshops or giving master's degree classes.

**Business collaboration**

34.48% of the installed companies collaborate with other Espaitec firms both in the development of joint projects and as providers of specific services or in the organisation of events such as Hackathon Castelló. It should be noted how synergies between companies have increased in recent years, as well as the collaboration between Espaitec firms and the Castellón Global Program Business Club, which has been consolidated every year and this year celebrates its tenth edition. In this sense, the Castellón Global Program is a business growth and acceleration programme aimed at companies in the province of Castellón, promoted by Espaitec in collaboration with the Castellón Provincial Council.
