IK4 receives an award at Vodafone Deia Innovation Sariak 2016

It was yesterday when the IK4 Research Alliance received an award at the Guggenheim Museum’s auditorium during the II Vodafone Deia Innovation Sariak ceremony in recognition of outstanding Innovation actions carried out in the Basque Country.

Iñaki Aranburu, President of the IK4 Research Alliance, collected the prize awarded under the category of Scientific & Technological Developments in recognition of the Alliance’s ten years of existence.

During his short speech, Aranburu underscored how important the union of all nine centres has been with regard to their outstanding achievements.

IK4 is an alliance made up of nine Basque technology centres that have put their stakes on a federal model based on a number of technologies to generate knowledge, deal with more technologically demanding challenges and assist other Basque companies in their respective R&D&I actions to further their competitiveness and be more successful as a business.

During the ceremony, awards were given under different categories to the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, to the Vitoria-Gasteiz Town Council and, finally, to the companies Elecnor and Idom.
