It's not about the sector, it's the about project
The important thing is not to keep moving, but rather to know in which direction to go. Our 37% success rate proves that we know how to guide our clients.
The gateway to new markets: innovation in the mission of organisations.
We collaborate with public administrations to promote innovation and assist companies in integrating innovation into their overall strategy through planning, the analysis and evaluation of projects, programmes, plans, strategies, R&I policies, innovations, technologies, industry and entrepreneurship.
Through extensive planning, we design regional technology plans, or RIS3: we draw up the plan, evaluate the results or impacts, as well as the strategy design process. We monitor indicators of the regional Technology Plan, or RIS3, natural resources (mining) or other sectoral technology plans (agri-food, automotive, etc.). We are also a key partner in digitalisation, both in the preparation of digitalisation diagnostics in Navarra (Spain) and in the preparation of more complex documents, such as the region’s Digital 2030 strategy.
Zabala Innovation also participates in analysing practices, strategies, policies, programmes and calls for proposals for public entities; both in the field of Innovation (preparing studies on tools in other countries/regions or benchmarking other regional calls for proposals: in sectors, themes, new instruments); and at a European level (DG Growth (2010-2016) RIM (REGIONAL INNOVATION MONITORING); DG Regio (2012-2013) RIS3; DG R&D (2015-2017); DG REGIO (2015 – 2018)).
If anything sets Zabala Innovation apart, it is our management of networks and projects. We manage networks, initiatives, projects and public programmes (including CPI); knowledge exchange platforms and networks; open calls and public programmes; development plans (innovation, proactive promotion of innovative proposals and the management of emerging projects in specific sectors or regions); cascade funding calls and the acceleration of start-ups.
Once the R&I Plan has been developed, at Zabala Innovation, we collaborate with the development and promotion of R&I, through the participation of client entities in international funding programmes and the dissemination and communication of projects and programmes. We help draft development and funding plans for regions and specific areas; we bring R&I closer to the market through the commercial exploitation of results and we manage permanent forums that promote European values in specific regions.

What is RIS3?
National and regional research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3 strategies) consist of integrated agendas for territorial economic transformations that
Zabala Innovation’s role is to prepare the necessary studies and diagnostics to assess the implementation of these agendas.
Why should Public Administrations be involved in Innovation development?
An agile and efficient public administration is key to creating a society with a better quality of life. But to achieve this goal, creativity and innovation are indispensable.
Public Administrations must become prescribers, with respect to innovation, developing their own innovation strategies, implementing improvements in public services and relying on other entities to define improvement actions that involve all layers of society.
To monitor these actions, it is necessary to follow-up on the success of the different initiatives, through final studies and diagnostics.
We provide advice to activities that encourage innovation, aimed at promoting the development of new innovative markets from the demand side, through public procurement.
To maximise the success and impact of a project, we manage the communication and dissemination activities, but we also define a social innovation strategy and tools to measure its impact.
We are experts in European funding programmes, which provide the opportunity to finance the development and market access of your company's innovative projects.
