The Business Development & Innovation Centre Network (Red CIDE) comprises a group of bodies working in co-ordination to foster business development and innovation in Canary companies.
The CIDE Network orients Canary companies free of charge wishing to innovate and become modern, agile, competitive companies on the market. The aim our Network is to act as support for companies who have difficulties to do R+D+i by themselves; so we inform them of the tools and capacities extant in the Canaries to increase competitiveness via innovation and the rational use of new technologies.
Each organization has a technician in charge of providing the Network's services to local companies. To this end, each network member receives support from the rest of the CIDE and also from ITC as the project coordinating entity.
Moreover, the Red CIDE is the entry point where the companies can access the Canary R+D+i agents’ offer (University Research Groups, OPIs, R+D bodies, etc.). This acts as a link between both areas (production and technological sectors) fostering co-operation among them, detecting business demands and ensuring adaptation of the technological offer to the needs of Canary companies.
