R&D&I is an acronym for “Research, Development and Innovation”. This is the new concept for projects previously considered as only “research and development”, using the acronym R&D. This novel approach is related to research serving technological advancement focused on innovations that contribute to the needs of society.

R&D&I is one of the most essential aspects relating to growth in a healthy business organization. R&D&I focuses on the research, development and innovation components of a company. In other words, all the activities and actions carried out by an organization to improve its products and/or services.

Research involves investing to obtain knowledge, whereas innovation invests in knowledge to obtain good returns on investment. Companies usually need investments and support to enhance their R&D&I.

R&D&I projects are aimed at creating and/or improving production processes. There are no restrictions as far as the sector or technology to be developed are concerned. Projects may be national and international as well. At REDIT we can advise you and accompany you to promote innovation within your company.

Collaboration projects focus on the development of knowledge and explore each of the viability stages to anticipate market needs.

REDIT Technology Institutes are promoters and coordinators of many of these projects in the Valencian Community.
