R&D programmes: main featuresR&D programmes: main features
• R&D/innovation ~17% ERDF funds for Spain (around € 6 bn, 9 bn with national co-financing)• Actions delivered through 2 operational programmes (POEC , POFT)• Targeting on convergence regions (77% en POEC y 70% en POFT)• Special focus on SMEs • Part of actions embedded in the national plan for R&D and innovation and Plan Avanza
Socioeconomic impact of Science and Technology Parks (STPs) in
Spain
5,539 companies and research bodies within 47 Spanish STPs (gathered in APTE)21.475 mill. EUR revenues within Spanish STPsThe direct contribution to the economy by the companies and centres in STPs sums up to 10,090 mill EUR, i.e. 0.96% of the Spanish GDP.total impact on the GDP reaches 2.2% on the regional GDP in the regions where STPs exist. This impact increases at provincial level, where the impact of the existing STP is 2.74% of the provincial GDP. 145,155 persons employed in Spanish STPs (direct employment)17.56% of the employment in STP are jobs dedicated to R&D activities, i.e. 25,443 persons.This corresponds to 11.5% of all R&D jobs (full-time-equivalent) in Spain (in 2009).total impact of the Spanish STPs corresponds to 2.67% of the regional employment in the CCAA where STPs exist, and to 3.42% of the provincial employment
These effects are even higher, when we analyse specifically the cases of consolidated STP, like PT Bizkaia, PTA in Malaga and PT Boecillo

EDUCATION
Agglomerations and infrastructures dedicated to the transfer of knowledge, “bridges” between innovative key players:
• Consolidated STPs can contribute to the transfer of knowledge and the creation of innovative companies, as well as to the channelling and attraction of innovative resources.
• STPs can be cornerstones in education and training for innovation, and regional strategies to foster mobility of RTDI personnel and of talent attraction/retention schemes.
• STPs are key players in the promotion of emerging technologies and in the physical support of (virtual) technology clusters.
• STPs have a key role in the internationalization of RTDI and business services

STPSTP
STPs are pioneering the detection and support of new technological and innovative activities in a given territory. The can be a valuable living laboratory for the identification and set-up of smart specialization.
STPs are important nodes, visible at national and international level, for RTDI trends and activities. They can contribute to the coherent integration of specialised R&D in global value chains.
STPs are spaces of cross-fertilization between science and industry. The can extend their role and stimulate the cross-fertilization between disciplines, as well as between technology (IT, bio, nano) and fields of application (health, mobility, energy).
