The Business Development & Innovation Centre Network (CIDE Network) 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.
A technician is placed in each body to render the companies in his/her area the Network services, which has the collaboration of the other CIDEs, and in particular with 3 ‘expert’ bodies (ITC, FULP and FEULL) responsible for rendering value added services and advising on all the services rendered.
Moreover, the CIDE Network 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.
