Environment:

Garaia Innovation Park is situated in Mondragon, in the heart of the province of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain), a territory that encompasses one of the largest industrial concentrations of Europe, with driving-force companies, leaders in different sectors and with a high degree of internationalization and technological advancement.

Here was born and is based today the Basque cooperative movement, making Mondragon an international reference in the concentration of industrial cooperatives. Mondragon Corporation, the main industrial group in the Basque County, with more than 260 companies and international presence, is the main shareholder of this Park and has a strong relationship with Garaia Innovation Park.

In this environment with strong tradition in innovation, activities in areas or sectors of specialization linked mainly to mechatronic technology solutions, advanced manufacturing, energy, sustainability, health and transportation are developed.

Furthermore, according to the Financial Times division FDI Intelligence’s report “FDi European Cities and Regions of the future 2016/2017”, the Basque Country is the best medium-sized region in Europe in terms of connectivity for foreign investment, the sixth best in terms of strategies for attracting foreign investment and the fifth best in southern Europe across all indicators to attract foreign investment as a whole: economic potential, working environment, profitability, infrastructure, favourable business climate and the strategy for foreign investment capture.
