The conference emphasized the contribution and impact of the internationalization of Basque R&D&I and the Euskadi’s competitive interest in European programs, as reported by the Basque government in a statement.
Tapia has assured that Euskadi’s strengths in areas such as “innovation and high technological value” are a “reality” that allows companies to be competitive.
Good luck
Tapia referred to the European Horizon 2020 program which he believes has been a “success” for Basque participation, once the results are known.
He recalled that the return target set by the European Commission in the Strategic Book for Basque R&D&I in Europe for the 2014-2020 period was 805.5 million.
Tapia has assured that the target was “extremely ambitious” when it was set in 2014, but the results were even better than expected, exceeding the target by 7%.
“The success rate in Euskadi was 19% while the European average was 12%,” emphasized the minister, who stated that the Basque Country should not miss this opportunity and must position itself in the new Horizon 2024 framework.
