Fremm and the Isaac Peral Foundation promote open innovation among metal companies and startups

The cooperation agreement reached between both entities aims to accelerate innovation and digitization, promote employment, promote women’s participation and ensure the implementation of technological innovation in the regional industry

The Regional Federation of Metal Entrepreneurs of Murcia (FREMM) and the Isaac Peral Foundation (FIP) have signed a partnership agreement with the aim of overcoming the new technological challenges of companies together, encouraging participation and implementation of new initiatives and ideas of entrepreneurs and, along the same lines, the digitization of SMEs and the self-employed.

The agreement is articulated around the Acelera Pyme Office, attached to the FREMM and open to all companies, regardless of size and economic sector, and is specified in twelve actions.

One of them is FIP’s Open Innovation, the open innovation platform that brings together companies that launch technological challenges and entrepreneurs that contribute their project ideas to solve them. The FREMM and the FIP will now work together to promote and meet the technological requirements of the applicant companies on the one hand and encourage entrepreneurial responses. And on the other hand highlight new independent business projects that arise from entrepreneurs.

After signing the agreement, both Alfonso Hernández Zapata and Alfonso Corbalán García, presidents of FREMM and FIP respectively, agreed that “Innovation and digitization are synonymous with competitiveness and skilled work, that is what moves us all and especially our companies In addition, they pointed out that “every collaboration is small when it comes to responding to our most innovative companies and fostering the participation of entrepreneurs, who are able not only to meet a specific need, but also to create a new company”.

In fact, the agreement starts with identifying the digitization needs of companies in the Region of Murcia, as well as defining the necessary resources to meet the challenge.

A leap into the digital space that will be based on increased employment and greater participation of women in the economy, two key aspects of the agreement. For example, it has been stipulated that the FREMM placement office will make their digital profiles public and in the same line actions to promote women in the digitization process will be encouraged.
