CTA (Technological Corporation of Andalusia) has officially opened its new office in Brussels at an event attended by more than 50 people, with the participation of the Regional Minister for University, Industry, Energy and Innovation, Jorge Paradela<\/strong>, and Andr\u00e9s Mart\u00ednez Est\u00e9vez<\/strong>, CDTI\u2019s representative in Brussels (Innovation Policy Directorate). Gonzalo Arana<\/strong>, Managing Director of Andaluc\u00eda TRADE, also attended the event. The new office will strengthen CTA\u2019s permanent presence alongside the EU institutions and foster closer connections between the Andalusian innovation ecosystem and European opportunities, partners and programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regional Minister Jorge Paradela<\/strong> highlighted the need for \u201cmore Andalusian companies to take part in European projects and find opportunities here to grow, while also ensuring that Brussels gains a better understanding of what our region can contribute in terms of knowledge, technology, industrial capacity and solutions to major shared challenges\u201d. Paradela explained that, with this aim in mind, the Andalusian Regional Government is working to strengthen connections between \u201cuniversities, research, innovation and the business sector, particularly industry, in order to foster greater technology transfer, attract investment and create highly skilled jobs\u201d. He linked this approach to European priorities and, in particular, to the Competitiveness Compass<\/strong>, a roadmap which, he noted, \u201ccalls for accelerating innovation, ensuring technological sovereignty and leading the decarbonisation process, opening up a range of opportunities for Andalusia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CTA President Beltr\u00e1n P\u00e9rez<\/strong> stressed that \u201cthe Brussels office was established with the aim of helping innovative Andalusian companies incorporate a European dimension into their growth strategies, identify technology and business partners, and improve their access to innovation programmes and opportunities\u201d. In his view, \u201cthis presence in Brussels is particularly relevant at a time when innovation is a top priority on the European Union\u2019s agenda to ensure Europe\u2019s competitiveness, alongside decarbonisation, digitalisation and the reduction of strategic dependencies\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, CDTI\u2019s representative in Brussels<\/strong> noted that the opening of the new office comes at a particularly timely moment, coinciding with the transformation of European research and innovation policies and their close connection with the European Union\u2019s competitiveness agenda. He also emphasised that, now more than ever, efforts must be combined to lay the foundations for strong and sustainable European competitiveness, underpinned by research, innovation and knowledge generation. He also called on all Spanish stakeholders involved in European R&I programmes and initiatives to prepare for and adapt to the changes expected in the next 2028-2034 budgetary period<\/strong>, highlighting the full availability of CDTI<\/strong> and its Spanish Office for Science and Technology in Brussels (SOST)<\/strong> to support them throughout this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CTA\u2019s new office<\/strong>, which began operating at the beginning of this year, is located in Etterbeek<\/strong>, next to the European Quarter and close to the buildings of the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament. From this strategic location, CTA will be able to engage more closely with EU institutions, hold meetings and activities with companies and international partners, and identify new opportunities for collaboration and funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The opening marks a further step in CTA\u2019s internationalisation strategy and reflects the growing importance of European innovation and competitiveness policies for Andalusian companies. The aim is to bring European opportunities closer to Andalusia more quickly while, at the same time, increasing the visibility in Brussels of the region\u2019s technological, business and scientific capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
