Navarra Innovation System

Entrepreneurial environment01 ENTREPRENEURIAL NETWORKS

Navarre has developed a public-

private network to enhance the

synergies between the agents that

support entrepreneurship and

private initiative.

The proximity of the authorities, universities,

technology centres, business organisations

and local development agencies creates an

ideal space for communication and creativity

for business

CEIN, the agent which promotes

entrepreneurship, are all aligned to

make technology, financing and counselling

for entrepreneurs/ businesspeople a

reality

SODENA, the public company which

coordinates development of the

strategic plan and is the instrument of

financial support, mainly through

venture capital.

coordinates the technology

S3 plans and actions

Navarra S3 aims to boost Navarra’s economy in its

transformation towards a knowledge economy, with a greater

capacity to incorporate technology into industrial

processes, products and services, becoming a more

innovative, productive and export-oriented economy, while

looking for efficiency by using natural and energy resources,

and for greater social and territorial cohesion. The S3 Strategy

includes the four main pillars of the SBA as promoting

entrepreneurship, reduction of regulatory burden, access to finance

and markets and internationalization, through

the elaboration of concrete plans developed during 2017,

following an open participatory process.

Navarra has developed plans andactions in order to fulfil the S3 competitiveness

factors and also, and very important, to achieve the SBA priorities. The

most relevant plans and tools are:

01 Navarre Industrial Plan

02 Cluster policy

03 Entrepreneurship plan

04 Venture capital

05 Technology transfer funds

06 Social economy plan

07 Internationalisation plan

Digital Europe: Support to the facilities and personnel of the European Digital Innovation Hubs, to

build capacity in Europe to diffuse digital innovations across SMEs and administrations.

European Regional Development Fund: Investments allocated by the Member States to build-up

or strengthen the Digital Innovation Hubs infrastructures in their territories and reduce the digital

divide. ERDF can be used by Member States to co-invest on EDIHs in Digital Europe.

InvestEU: Incentives and risk reduction programmes to help companies find follow-up

investment to further complete their digital transformation. The work of the digital innovation

hubs will diminish the knowledge gap that exists.

Horizon Europe: Support to SMEs and mid-caps to experiment with highly innovative digital

technologies in a cross-border setting. European Digital Innovation Hubs and others may apply for

these grants, and cascade a large part of the funding to SMEs
