REDIT - Network of Technological Centres of Valencia Region

Spain: Valencia

Overview

REDIT accounts for 11 associated technology centres that offer a wide range of R&D&I advanced services addressed to business, especially SMEs, which need the support of external agents to innovate: R&D&I lines, laboratories for analysis, tests and advanced investigation, technology watch and competitive intelligence.

REDIT joins, integrates and represents these Technology Institutes, which are a model in the public – private collaboration and which aspire to the international excellence and leadership in R&D&I and support the competitiveness of businesses through innovation.

The centres have become the main technology allies for many companies in order to innovate, transfer technology and apply knowledge and technologies. 

AIDIMME: Metal-Processing, Wood and Furniture Technology Centre.
AIJU: Toys, Children’s and Leisure Products Technology Centre.
AIMPLAS: Plastics Technology Centre
AINIA: Food Technology Centre
AITEX: Textile Technology Centre
IBV: Biomechanics Technology Centre
… REDIT centres have an extensive infrastructure offered to the SMEs: 

- More than 100,000 m2 dedicated to R&D&i

- More than 100 laboratories

- 20 Technological Observatories, on the Market and Trends
. REDIT´s mission consists of contributing to the regional, national and international recognition of the Technology Institutes as a model of efficient organization in the Science, Technology and Enterprise System.

REDIT´s vision is to become the organism that joins, integrates and represents the technology centres, which are a model in the public – private collaboration and which, individually and collectively, aspire to the international excellence and leadership in R&D&I and support the competitiveness of businesses through innovation.

The Network mainly supplies services to the existing sectors of the Valencian Region and emerging horizontal technologies: ceramics, building, wood, furniture, packaging and related industries, optics, colour and imaging, toys, metal mechanics, plastics, agro-food, textile, biomechanics, footwear, energy, packaging, transport and logistics, computing.
