AITIIP Inaugurates his new headquarters for the investigation and development

Friday 30 November took place the official act of inauguration of the new headquarters of Aitiip technological Center. The investment, which was exceeding 4M aims to provide the technological centre of an area of 7,200 m² entirely dedicated to research and technological innovation whose main beneficiary will be the Aragonese business system. In the event participated representatives of more than 60 industry of Aragon and throughout Spain, different clusters such as AERA, CAAR and Aragon Innovalimen, representatives of research institutions including the University of Zaragoza and the Aula Dei technological scientific Park as well as the representatives of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation Aitiip and the own Government of Aragon.

The new installations have 4 new destined laboratories to the nanotechnology and nanocomposites; the rapid manufacturing; the new materials composites and the metrology laser without contact. More than half of the spaces will allocate to improve the technological services advanced in technologies of the production and new materials like the robotics, the mechanisation of high precision in big components and toolings, the prototyping of big hybrid structures with materials composites and the technicians of injection and extrusion-blown of plastics. The companies of all Europe realise essays like microcomponentes until big bumpers of car by injection of plastics, containers ultraligeros and biobasados, big shovels of aerogenerador in composites, moulds and hybrid and polytechnical toolings of special application in aeronautical sector component manufacturing sector component manufacturing, as well as all type of prototypes. In this headquarters will install the platform automated Megrob partially funded by the 7º Program Mark of the EU of which all the companies that wish it will be able to benefit.

The Foundation Aitiip is the only technological centre of state field of Aragon for the industrial investigation applied and the technological innovation that recently ascribed to the Technological Scientific Park Classroom Dei, chaired by the Adviser of Industry and Innovation of the Government of Aragon. The centre realises more than 60 projects of R&D to the year mainly under the formula of public cooperation-deprived with more than 150 companies and organisms of investigation in sectors like the automotive sector, aeronautical sector component manufacturing sector component manufacturing, agroalimentación, civil work, wind power and manufacture of big machineries. It expects promote the competitiveness of the Aragonese industry from the innovation that realises in Aitiip with the aim to create wealth and employment in his surroundings of influence.

The official presentation has had the presence Juan Manuel Blanchard Gálligo (president of Aitiip Technological Centre), of Ángel Fernández Neck (director of Investigation of Aitiip Technological Centre), of Víctor Rivera Ferrer (director manager of Aitiip Technological Centre) and has concluded with the presentation Arturo Aliaga López (Excelentísimo Adviser of Industry and Innovation of Aragon), showing the support of the Government of Aragon to the Technological Centre and his ends, and appreciating to the assistants his participation in the same.
