Gamesa and the Spanish Federation of Technology Centers (FEDIT) have jointly launched an initiative that will allow Gamesa to assess the most innovative sustainable technology projects in the energy market. The initiative is hoped to return results between February and March this year.

The acitivities will be done as collaborative efforts between companies and researchers. Almost seventy Technology Centers, part of FEDIT, were called upon to participate and submit projects related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, mobility and waste to energy technology.

Gamesa will analyze the submitted projects later on, and assess which of the projects show the most promise. Selected projects will be developed further by their technology centers, with the help of Gamesa.

The company says this is the first time bets have been placed on the Spanish innovation capabilities, to produce innovative technologies for future development of the industry.

Participating technology centers will send FEDIT as many initiatives as they deem suitable, with emphasis on those aimed at for further development. The centers will also send market size estimates, the competitive edge the technologies would bring to companies, as well as business models to be developed for the solutions or products reach the market.
