Espaitec continues to promote technology and competitiveness in the business fabric. One of its main objectives is to continue to be the technological reference point, promoting entrepreneurship, innovation and knowledge transfer in the society of the province of Castelló.

Espaitec monitors the companies in the park through a series of indicators, which include data on turnover, employability, investment in R&D&I, knowledge transfer and collaboration between universities and companies.

**Companies and turnover**

At the end of the 2023 financial year, Espaitec had 29 technology companies located in the park and 21 associated companies. The total turnover of the former during the year amounted to 95,198,786.04 euros, a figure that confirms the strength and competitiveness of Espaitec companies, taking into account the international economic situation during the last year.

In terms of sectors, considering the 50 companies installed or linked, "Information Technology and Telecommunications (ICT)" stands out with 49%, a sector in which all types of services are offered, from solutions based on blockchain or the Internet of Things (IoT) to industrial digitalisation projects or application development. The "Innovative services" sector also stands out with 14.3%, including companies active in the audiovisual sector or social innovation. The "Energy and Environment" sector accounts for 16.3% of activity, "Materials, Nanotechnology, Optics and Electronics" for 6.1% and "Industrial Technology" for 6.1%, "Marketing" for 2% and "Biotechnology and Health" for 6.1%.  
  
**Investment in R&D&I**

The investment in R&D&I by all the companies connected to the park has exceeded three million euros, specifically 3,279,811.24 euros. This figure represents a 42% increase in the resources allocated to R&D&I compared to the figures reported by the companies connected in 2022, with the aim of improving their technological processes and increasing their competitiveness.Employment and recruitment of university graduatesA total of 464 people work in the companies located in Espaitec, of which 299 are men and 165 are women.Of the total number of employees, 35.12% carry out qualified employment tasks directly related to research, development and innovation.With regard to the recruitment of university talent, in the financial year 2023, the companies located there welcomed 45 students on curricular internships.As in previous years, the companies recruited graduates from the Universitat Jaume I, a total of 41 UJI graduates.

Expansion: national and international presenceRegarding the presence of companies located in other areas, it should be noted that all of them operate outside the province of Castellón. In addition, around 35% of the companies have an international presence in the following countries Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Chile, Brazil, France, Argentina, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, United States, Japan, United Kingdom and Switzerland. It should also be noted that several Espaitec companies have their headquarters in European and Asian countries, such as Switzerland, Belgium and Japan.  
  
**University-business transfer and collaboration**

In 2023, Espaitec companies, both installed and networked, collaborated with R&D groups of the Universitat Jaume I through Article 60 for an amount of 112,873 euros. The installed companies collaborate with eight research groups of the UJI, through specific contracts for the development of projects or regular collaborations, as well as regular collaboration in activities organised by the Universitat Jaume I, through conferences, workshops or master classes. On the other hand, some of the companies in the park have set up a total of four chairs and business classrooms with the Universitat Jaume I. Specifically, the companies Facsa and Intur of Grupo Gimeno and the UJI have created the FACSA Chair in Innovation in the Integral Water Cycle and the Intur Tourism Classroom. For its part, the technology company Cuatroochenta created the Cuatroochenta Chair in Artificial Intelligence, Health and Wellbeing, and UBE Corporation Europe created the UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics.

**Equality plans**

It is worth highlighting that nine companies in the Park have implemented their Equality Plan 2023, negotiated between the company and the legal representatives of the employees, with the aim of taking the necessary measures to facilitate equal opportunities between women and men in the companies. Through equality plans, companies guarantee equal treatment and equal opportunities and make progress in their development within the organisation. It involves the implementation of a set of policies, strategies, measures and practices aimed at promoting gender equality and avoiding any form of discrimination between women and men in the workplace.
