Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC). Analysis of Technological Innovation Activities in 2005

The purpose of the PITEC project (Technological Innovation Panel) is to create a representation of the situation and evolution of innovative companies in Spain in addition to detecting opportunities and necessities in the field of innovation. The PITEC Project started in 2004 as a result of collaboration efforts between FECYT and the COTEC Foundation along with advice from a group of researchers representing different universities. The purpose of PITEC is to become a statistical reference tool for the analysis of R&D&I activity development in businesses at the national level. This will allow for the study of important aspects such as the impact that innovation has on productivity, the distribution of internal and external R&D&I, costs, etc.
