the key players in innovation

According to its articles of association, Innobasque ultimately aims to encourage and develop innovation in the Basque Country, principally the entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, as innovation is a key lever to overcome present and future challenges. Our country, like many of the advanced societies, is facing a potential strategic shift in the global economy that may lead to the questioning of the well-being that we have inherited from previous generations. The diagnosis is clear: we urgently need to promote a new socio-economic development model, and Guillermo Ulacia Chairman of Innobasque this means more innovation in all spheres. We can do it in the Basque County: we have the knowledge, the capacity and the will. There is only one initial condition, which is to intensify public-private cooperation facilitating greater 5 connectivity between the agents of the innovation system at home and internationally.

The social-collective source of innovation

Imanol Zubero Head Researcher at CIVERSITY (UPV/EHU)

24 Innovation is always a social process, no matter in which field innovation takes place. Innovation always occurs within a certain social context. On too many occasions, future is not a mere prolongation of the present, innovation is faced without bearing in mind its social although it is true that the present represents a process type, as if it were an autonomous, quasi-natural framework of possibilities and impossibilities. Innovation process. We say that innovation occurs within a certain touches on what Paulo Freire would call the viable social context: in order to respond to demands that unknown: feasible transformation possibilities, although arise within this social context, under the conditions – this feasibility often tends to go unnoticed. What is not material and cultural- that each society offers. Although yet a reality but which may become one is not a utopic its roots lie in certain social conditions, innovation is not idea. The best way of bringing about the viable limited to the social context in which it arises, but always unknown of reality is turning it into a reality, even on a aims to go beyond these limits. small scale.

What is now proven was once only imagined. This verse However, the social nature of innovation is not only at by the poet, William Blake, perfectly sums up the the beginning of the innovative process, but also at the essential energy of innovation: the ability to imagine end. As Robert K. Merton pointed out in his 1942 article, potential futures, the refusal to remain in the present. The Science and Technology in a Democratic Order, the findings of science are a product of social collaboration, and therefore innovation should have a social return.

Over 40,000 people are active in innovation

Over 40,000 people are working to prove Einstein right. “If you want different results, do not do the same things”.

Thousands of people in the Basque Country are working to guarantee us a future through their commitment and dedication.

Fact 1: people are working directly or indirectly on the Basque innovation system within the Innobasque 28 framework. 1 Memoria 2010-11 Innobasque INGLES_Maquetación 1 14/06/12 13:10 Página 29

Thousands of people have made our added value GROW from 1.3 to 1.8.

Innovating is GROWING. It is about finding new ways and obtaining better results in everything we do as a country.

Everything is necessary for growth, from sharing knowledge, facing challenges practically, seeking new paths, defining joint policies, investing creatively, developing transformation dynamics or accompanying and driving good ideas.

Through Innobasque, thousands of people, organisations and companies are continuing to grow.

Innobasque is unique in the OECD. It has been at the forefront of building the so-called quadruple helix, engaging with civil society in addition to research, industrial and public actors.

ince the incorporation of Innobasque into the innovation system, there have been advances in its functioning. Nowadays, we have a more integrated system with different agents involved in the system and we can also confirm that innovation is increasingly an objective in our daily social action. However, we are still a long way off the average parameters of the advanced regions in the north of Europe and we have areas of improvement that we are able to develop. The first is related to the evaluation of the R&D&I policies. We know what we spend but we do not have a results evaluation system. Another area for improvement is the greater involvement of the technologicals network and companies. With their involvement in both tasks, although with different intensities, I understand that Innobasque can contribute decisively to the homologation of our innovation system with that of the most advanced regions of Europe.

As part of that trip, Innobasque arranged for me to meet with several firms from Bizkaia Technology Park to share my perspective on R+D+i. Tecnalia and Ik4, along with the Basque Government, were represented. We discussed regional innovation ecosystems in California and in other parts of the United States and compared them to the Basque region. Several of the attendees had worked in California in the past. We knew people in common. These international exchanges allow firms in the Basque region to develop or maintain important networks. At Global Innovation Day, I had the opportunity to address the audience of around 700 people. I discussed the importancel of regional economic innovation ecosystems and Silicon Valley as a case study in innovation. I have shared my experiences from speaking and visiting the Basque region with many other groups.

A new innovative culture José Luis Larrea Chairman of Ibermática

nnovation is configured as the key strategy on which to build competitiveness. It is no longer enough to do things well, but we also need to do them differently. Therefore quality based competitive strategies need to go one step further and focus on innovation. The challenge that innovation presents is a true change of paradigm: moving from understanding innovation as an event to seeing it as a process. This change will only take place through a new innovative culture, which involves us all: companies, institutions, people and society as a whole. In this context, I believe that the efforts of Innobasque to spark debate and bring innovation to the attention of all economic and social agents, isi an essential contribution.

had the honour of being invited by Innobasque and Deustoforum, as director of the Centre de recherche sur les social innovations (CRISES), to exchange ideas about our work on social innovation. Looking at what Innobasque does has allowed me to see that this is one of the few agencies in the world that are explicitly promoting social innovation together with other forms of innovation. Its inclusive attitude with respect to the various socio-economic agents involved in the development of the Basque Country shows its concern for combining social and economic development, creating a passion for a creative and at the same time, cohesive society. This vision coincides with ours with regard to the role that social innovation should play in building societies where economic growth and innovation should benefit the community as a whole, whichi encourages us to undertake joint projects to strengthen our mutual faith in social justice and equity.

here is an issue about which we all agree: education is the driving force for the promotion of a society. Innobasque made its commitment to it visible by creating the education i-Talde within the area of Social Innovation. It is also a fact that in this sector it is no longer valid to work in the way of the last century, with aims of yesteryear, and including pedagogical approaches have been made obsolete by advances in different scientific disciplines, as is the case of Neuroscience. It is necessary for educators and neuroscientists to work together to make progress in this area. Evidence of this fact is the signing of a groundbreaking partnership between the international Carmelite Schoolt of the Sacred Heart and BCBL Vitoria (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language) which has established a neuroscience research laboratory in a school.

Eberhard Abele Catalyst of public-private Director of the Institute of Production Management collaboration

study which I directed during 2010 on the Basque Manufacturing Technology Sector, their innovations, trends, challenges and opportunities for the Basque Country, with its sights set on 2020, allowed me to understand the Basque system of innovation and, in particular, Innobasque in depth. Given the wealth of the Basque Innovation System, and the large number of players that make it up, I consider that the great challenge is to define a better organisational structure, and, in this context, I think that Innobasque plays a prominent role as a catalyst for public-private collaboration that allows the launch of innovative activities which otherwise would be very difficult to activate. Thisa relationship has allowed me also to appreciate the great similarity in importance of the Manufacturing Technology Sector of the Basque Country and Germany, leaving aside the size of both territories. A good example of this parallelism can be found in the fact that the number of direct jobs in the manufacturing sector is about 20% in both areas, and the number of top-level indirect jobs, which depend on manufacturing (logistics etc.), is around 17%.

Agustín Delgado Martín Eco-innovation ensures Director of Innovation, Environment and Quality the competitiveness of companies Iberdrola S.A.

n IBERDROLA, as in Innobasque, we are fully convinced that the great business challenge of the coming years is to foster a culture of innovation. In particular, in the energy sector, innovation, besides being essential to ensure the competitiveness of companies, is an essential tool for addressing the enormous environmental challenges of our society, and therefore we refer to it as eco- innovation. With that firmly in mind, in IBERDROLA we have invested 300 million euros over the last two years in the launch of over 150 innovative projects, most notably those related to new renewable technologies, electric vehicles and intelligent networks, such as the Bidelek-Sareak project for the deployment of a complete smart grid in the metropolitan area of Bilbao. In this regard, the role of Innobasque as a catalyst to foster innovation in the Basque Country, with initiatives like thei " Europe Cleantech Advisory Board " held in Bilbao last year which I had the pleasure of participating in, is undoubtedly the key to fostering the existence of an innovative business fabric in the Basque Country and allows us to address challenges in the years ahead as a society.

Richard Youngman Successful development of a Managing Direction, Europe cleantech hub in the Basque Country & Asia

leantech Group is proud to be working with Innobasque to help develop the vision of the Southern Europe Cleantech Hub which we believe has great potential to drive greater pools of talent to the sector, enable the formation of industry-leading cleantech start- ups, and provide wealth, investment, and jobs in the Basque Country. We believe that Innobasque’s long term commitment as well as its integrative and collaborative approach is highly conducive to the successful development of a cleantech hub in the Basque Country. We have worked with Innobasque on two major initiatives so far. The first was in October 2011 where the Cleantechc Group’s European Advisory Board, comprised of 15 top-tier cleantech investors from all over Europe, was hosted in Bilbao for a one day meeting where we met with many key local cleantech stakeholders. Our second engagement has been in assisting a large presence of Basque cleantech companies at our annual European Cleantech Forum. It has been a pleasure assisting Innobasque in the grand mission they are undertaking and we certainly hope we can continue to assist them in the future.

This has been the main challenge accepted by our firm over the last two years, which, in addition to having completed the new offices in Bilbao and Madrid (true demonstrations of eco-innovation in construction) has made a giant leap in the development of its presence abroad, so that the volume of international business has contributed to growth of IDOM in difficult times, clearly surpassing sales in the domestic market. All this has been possible thanks to the progress made by our professionals in technology and innovation, an essential basis in participation in projects of global significance such as ITER or the solar telescope in Hawaii, among others.

y collaboration with Innobasque during its initial stages focused on my participation in two “i-Talde” reflection working groups, one whose aim was to define “social innovation”, and the other to establish the “indicators” of social innovation. I don´t know whether my reflections, comments or opinions were worth much or not, but what I do know is that taking part in those groups and listening to other people´s thoughts sparked a new interest for social innovation in me. At present, I have no doubt that applying measures aimed at achieving equality between men and women is not only innovative but it also shares the virtues of good innovation: creativity, originality, social and economic benefitsm and, moreover, it promotes social justice. A regulation on applying equality policies; a methodology for carrying out quality diagnostic tests in companies in order to introduce an equality plan, which makes timetables more flexible, introduces measures for a personal, family and work-life balance or equality in decision making bodies are innovative measures in public and private administration. We innovate by applying equality. Memoria 2010-11 Innobasque INGLES_Maquetación 1 14/06/12 13:11 Página 81

From the very start, my involvement was focused on the area of Internationalization, since this was a key part of Dominion´s strategy. That vision has proven to be completely correct given that 82% of our results currently come from outside the country. I recently had the pleasure to inaugurate a meteorology network in Honduras, alongside the President, Porfirio Lobo Sousa.

inisten dut” [I believe] goes the prayer that we were taught as children and which Xabier Lete sung in his unique way. Since then life has changed completely. New concepts have emerged and we have coined words which, although they existed in dictionaries, were not part of our life. Innovation is one of them. In that era, the television, photography and the telephone were all in black and white. To innovate was to walk on the moon and be able to watch it live on television, see photographs in colour, use a wireless telephone, the first Mac, and more recently innovation was the malaria vaccine or the iPad. It“s is easy to define innovation when looking at the past. But, who would dare to say what it will be in twenty years’ time, or even, in five years from now? In the Basque Country, Innobasque has dared to do so. Zorionak eta eskerrik asko! (Congratulations and thanks!). We believe in the need for Innobasque. We believe in the first call Pedro Luis made. Guillermo has kept to his word, and along with him, Txema and many others have too. We still believe. Sinisten dugu! Memoria 2010-11 Innobasque INGLES_Maquetación 1 14/06/12 13:11 Página 91

e live in a turbulent period, we have been going through a crisis for a few years and its duration is still unknown and only innovation can help us to overcome these difficult years. The three i´s, which we must develop as soon as possible, are innovation, investment and internationalisation. I believe that the work carried out by the Basque Agency of Innovation in the development of the first of these three i´s has been exemplary. Thanks to their efforts, the crisis in the Basque Country has not had the dramatic proportions that other regions have had. We must now insist on, starting from our imaginations, the search for new directions. To innovate is not only to develop a new patent or discover a new material,w or install some new electricity generation systems. To innovate is also to do the same things but in a different way, while searching for more efficient systems and pursuing competition.

Innobasque Cases

An inter-university Project in which a hundred researchers from the University of the Basque Country [UPV/EHU], University of Deusto and Mondragon University collaborate in developing thematic studies on practices and projects undertaken by Basque socio-economic actors, based on a methodology adapted from Harvard´s case method.

Through these cases, the experiences of the selected businesses are publicised and used as stand out examples in their corresponding sectors for having excellent results in economic terms and in job creation, and also for their leadership and ability to advance successful processes of change, thanks to advanced and effective management. This collection currently has more than 100 cases, which are at the service of the Basque society, and in particular, they provide the universities and business schools with cases to be used for didactic purposes, and for facilitating the positioning of Basque businesses and organisations.

In 2010-2011 and in the context of the Eco-Innovation Dynamic, two training seminars, targeted at editors and research professionals from the 3 Basque universities, were held on the methodology used for the thematic study of Basque Country (CIE Automotive, EKONOR and the eco-innovation.

The challenge, to immerse José Ignacio Arrieta ourselves in innovation Chairman of MBN

decade ago, the Basque Country was investing 672 million euros in R&D, 1.5% of its GDP. These were times of boom and economic growth. This boom was suddenly halted in 2008 by the bursting of the housing bubble in Spain and the international financial crash caused by the sub-prime mortgages. Ten years later and although we are still in the midst of a serious crisis with no visible sign of a way out, spending in R&D in the Basque Country in relation to its GDP has increased to almost the average among the EU-27 countries, which is around 2%. Among many positive achievements which must be attributed to Innobasque, is its contribution in ensuring that Basquea businesses have continued to champion technology and innovation. The socialisation of innovation which has taken place is now an undeniable reality. The current challenge is to increase the spending in R&D to 3% of the GDP. In order to achieve this, it is essential that Innobasque´s project is consolidated and that it moves from socialisation to what we may term immersion. This demands not only ensuring that its current social base is loyal, but also increasing its presence, in both the business world and in society as a whole.

Alejandro Echevarria Developing responses Chairman of Mediaset España

he modernisation of our economy depends largely on our ability to drive innovation and develop responses which facilitate improved competition and technological change. Responses which are almost always derived from economic and social challenges, and along with the questions related to them, opportunities, which can be used positively through innovation, also emerge. This is what Innobasque has aimed to do since its creation; I would like to make a connection between Innobasque´s reflections on business innovation with Mediaset España´s effort in integrating its information services on the occasion of its merger with Cuatro. In fact, integrating news report compositions; the design of new technical formats responding to the social and technological demands; the creative independence of new professionals; and the infinite possibilities of broadcasting information,t are clearly reflected in the cases, projects and even the recommendations made by the Basque Agency for Innovation, which is already seen as a European point of reference in this area.

Álvaro Videgain Muro Mobilising society around innovation Chairman and Executive Director of Tubacex

n recent years, Basque companies have progressed a lot in innovation, and this has been possible due to the high level of mobilisation the Innobasque project effected; it has undertaken an extraordinary job in raising awareness, providing information and energizing innovation within the Basque society as a whole, and in particular in businesses. Innobasque´s dynamic work has meant that many Basque businesses, including ourselves, have become more conscious of the need to innovate and to do so in the areas in which we work. We must continue working to become more and more competitive and innovation is and is going to be the key to this: we must increase quality, convert customer service into a competitive advantage, promote trainingi as a tool for strengthening human abilities, introduce organisational models that are more participatory, flexible and efficient and make management quality a differentiating factor for competition.

Alberto García Erauzkin Innovate through ICT Chairman of Euskaltel S.A.

he term innovation is one of the most used when referring to technology companies, even though the difference between both concepts is considerable. On the one hand, technology offers us new opportunities for innovating and differentiating ourselves (at least in the initial development stage), and on the other hand, innovating allows us to translate these opportunities into value for the company itself, its clients, and society. In the current economic climate, with growing globalisation and competition, the introduction of a variety of technologies, including and specifically, information and communication technology (ICT) in the business environment, is key to increasing our ability to stand out from others, improving our efficiency,t as well as learning how to innovate when approaching the market. In this area, we share Innobasque´s vision of identifying ICT as one of the key areas for development with the aim of promoting business innovation. As part of this, we cannot forget the social aspect related to technology and innovation and therefore, Euskaltel collaborated with Innobasque in the organisation of the First Lego League, which objective was to foster the value of innovation and creativity among our young people. Euskaltel and Innobasque fully identify themselves with these values. Memoria 2010-11 Innobasque INGLES_Maquetación 1 14/06/12 13:11 Página 119
