Bilbao, October, 09th, 2024 – At ACICAE – Basque Country Automotive Cluster, we are aware that innovation is a fundamental pillar for the development and success of companies. For this reason, we work to provide tools and programmes that boost competitiveness, promote technological progress and strengthen collaboration between the key players in the industry.

In this line, and together with the Basque Innovation Agency, INNOBASQUE, we invite you to participate in a Webinar aimed at SMEs in the automotive sector, where we will delve into how innovation can become a key lever to boost their competitiveness.

Within the framework of this event, the Hazinnova Programme will be presented, a strategic tool for SMEs wishing to carry out micro-innovation projects in product and business processes (manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and administration and finance), with the support and free specialised advice that this programme offers.

In addition to presenting the details and benefits of the Hazinnova Programme, the webinar will feature practical examples of companies in the sector that have already implemented significant improvements thanks to innovation. At the same time, it will seek to encourage new companies to present their innovation projects in the current call of the Programme, and capitalise on the opportunities that ACICAE and Hazinnova make available to them.
