R&D Projects — CIDETEC Energy Storage

Every year, CIDETEC develops hundreds of applied R&D projects of high strategic value together with national and international customers, both in the private and public sectors. These projects give rise to new scientific and technological developments, the generation of technology and its transfer to companies, allowing them to improve processes or create new products and services.

CIDETEC also participates in European (Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020), national (PERTE, CIEN, CERVERA…) and regional (HAZITEK, ELKARTEK…) R&D consortium projects.
