AEI Program

The ITC / 2691/2006 order, of August 2, defines the Innovative Business Groups (Agrupaciones Empresariales Innovadoras (AEI) as “the combination in a geographical area or specific industrial sector, of companies, training centers and units of public and private research, involved in collaborative exchange processes  aimed at obtaining advantages and / or benefits arising from the implementation of joint projects of innovative character. This activity is organized around a market and a segment of objective market and / or a relevant scientific-technological sector. The aim of the AEI will be to reach a critical mass such that would ensure their competitiveness and international visibility. Thus, the AEI is the administrative name chosen by the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (MITYC) for “innovative clusters“, which are registered in the corresponding Special Registry.
