The Region of Murcia has achieved a milestone in business innovation by reaching 92 companies certified with the EIBT seal. This distinction, awarded by APTE and other entities, recognizes firms that develop their own technology and research, with growth potential and the creation of qualified employment. This progress places the community on the map of productive vanguard.
How the EIBT seal drives regional technological development 🚀
The EIBT certification requires companies to demonstrate R&D spending exceeding 15% of their turnover or to hold active patents. In Murcia, sectors such as biotechnology, agri-food, and renewable energies lead in obtaining the seal. This fosters collaboration with universities and science parks, accelerating knowledge transfer. The result: a more competitive ecosystem, with startups that scale quickly and generate specialized technical employment.
92 innovative companies and none to fix the wifi in my house 😅
With 92 EIBT seals distributed, Murcia boasts firms that develop nanosatellites, biofertilizers, and even harvesting robots. But if you call a technician to configure your router, you still get a guy who asks if you've tried turning it off and on again. While startups bill in R&D, us mortals keep waiting for someone to invent a seal so the wifi reaches the bathroom without interruptions.
