FUNDACION CENTRO TECNOLOGICO DE COMPONENTES
Overview
Fundación Centro Tecnológico de Componentes (CTC) was created in the year 2000 as a non-profit foundation. Currently it is recognized as a Technology Center by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain. Its main objective is to bring value to companies through research and development projects, contributing to the enhancement of their competitiveness and sustainability, and becoming their technology partner, by being the meeting point between their needs and research activities. Within the various fields of knowledge, the CTC is positioned in Experimental Sciences and Engineering. CTC develops its R & D activity in the following fields: Industrial Systems and Nuclear Components , Marine Renewable Energies, Industrial Automation and Robotics and Advanced Materials and Nanomaterials. CTC participates in several associations and technology platforms at Cantabrian, Spanish and European levels.
