IK4 incorporates as ninth partner of Bizkaia-based Azterlan technological centre

On the 20 of December the IK4 Technological Alliance officially became partner number nine within the Azterlan project

On the 20 of December the IK4 Technological Alliance officially became partner number nine within the Azterlan project, the research centre specialising in metallurgy, with over 30 years of experience and with its main offices in Durango (in the Basque province of Bizkaia). In this way, IK4 consolidates itself as the model of reference for joint working with the Basque technological centres.

Azterlan thus brings its skills to join the other eight centres forming part of the alliance (Ceit, Cidetec, Gaiker, Ideko, Ikerlan, Lortek, Tekniker and Vicomtech). This incorporation enables IK4 to enhance its technological provision, based on research specialisation and excellence, with a clear commitment to transforming these into added value for business companies.

The incorporation of IK4 into Azterlan was officially undertaken on signing an agreement by the presidents of Azterlan, Alberto Oribe, and of IK4, Jesús María Iriondo, thereby terminating a process that had begun on the 31 January past.

Azterlan is a technological centre specialising in metallurgy and aimed at developing applied research innovation and technological services. With a workforce of some 100 professionals, Azterlan focuses its activity on specialisation in metallurgy, on their skills in technologies of transformation and on their internationalisation, thus enabling them to have vanguard positions within the European industrial framework, maintaining therein close cooperation with universities and with other research centres.

Included in the incorporation of this centre is Lortek, a centre for research into union technologies with main offices in Ordizia (In the Basque province of Gipuzkoa) and also effected in 2011, thus culminating the growth stage carried out by IK4 in recent years, with the aim of enhancing its technological provision and provide critical mass to compete with guarantees in the European R+D sector.

This growth enables IK4 to position itself as technological partner of the companies in order to undertake all kinds of projects in a multitude of application sectors. IK4 is amongst the top 10 private technological corporations in Europe, with 1,430 professionals and an overall volume of income of 103 M€ in R+D+i in 2011.
