ETIC

ETIC (Embedded Technologies Innovation Center) is a non-profit private entity created on June 2008. ETIC is a business service co-operative that has development partners as Mondragón, GAIA and the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa; collaborator partners as Ikerlan, University of Deusto and University of Mondragón; user partners as Fagor Electrodomésticos, ZIV, Ingeteam, Orona, Fagor Electrónica and Ibermática, and finally, worker partners.

The moment ETIC was created, an agreement between the founder partners, the Basque Government and Microsoft was signed to make ETIC become a Microsoft Innovation Center specialized in Embedded Technologies. The choice of this specialty was made because of the conviction in the relevance of these technologies concerning to the future of Basque Country and their implication in the creation of new products, services and applications that will lead the promotion of the current companies and the creation of new business.
