To this end, the plan lists up to 458 actions to be executed in the different strategic sectors and transverse factors reinforcing the competitiveness of our economy. All these actions are achieved throught a bottom-up model managed by the MODERNA Foundation. It is a system of regional Open Innovation that ensures the incorporation of the best ideas to our economy at the right place. 9 Mechatronics Sector Smart Specialization Strategy The MODERNA Plan (Model of Economic Development for Navarra) is a medium and long-term strategic plan that fosters change in the Economic Development Model of Navarra, moving towards a knowledge based economy that focuses on people. The plan was promoted by the main political, education, business and social institutions. MODERNA aims to take advantage of Navarra’s full potential for development and is a driver for future economic change. Citizen participation and institutional consensus are key to the preparation and development of MODERNA. OBJECTIVES OF MODERNA MODERNA contains the challenges that the economy of Navarra faces, and defines the strategy and major action lines towards 2030 in the areas of Green Economics, Health Economics and Talent Economics. MODERNA proposes 3 objectives for the future of Navarra: >>Prosperity: To position Navarra amongst the 20 leading European regions in GDP per capita and with a fair distribution of wealth. >>Quality of life: To position Navarra amongst the 10 leading European regions in the Human Development Index (HDI). >>Sustainability: To position Navarra amongst the 20 leading European regions in sustainability. Mechatronics // 2013 10 11 Mechatronics Sector The Mechatronics sector Highlights Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering field conventionally known as the combination of Control Systems, Electronic Systems, Computers and Mechanical Systems in order to design and manufacture products and improve production processes. Probably, the most well known graphic identification is the following diagram which shows the four fields (Computers, Control Systems, Electronic Systems and Mechanical Systems), and the four sub-fields that arise by crossing the first ones. Rounding all of them, appear some sectors where the Mechatronics applicance is more common. In the present document, the sectors of applicance have been chosen according to MODERNA’s priority sectors, so there can be shown the interactions between them. As a consequence of the industrialization process started in the 1960’ a group of competitive companies have been developing in Navarra machines that comprehensively integrate electronics, informatics and control elements within a broad range of products and processes primarily mechanical. Those machines both provide products directly to final customers (commonly referred to as “vending machines”) and allow the automation of industrial processes (i.e fabrication, assembly, storage a.o) in sectors such as: >>Automotive >>Agro-food industry >>Renewable energies >>Aeronautics >>Others (special machinery or custom designed machinery) As a whole, this heterogeneous group of companies: >>Employ around 1.300 people. >>Have an annual turnover of over 320 million euros >>Constantly carry out R&D projects. >>Serve customers all around the world (they export, on average, 75% of their sales). >>Lead their Mechatronics markets, both nationally and Navarra’s Mechatronics sector in the world, workforce and education The Mechatronics sector includes SME´s and global Companies, some of them have subsidiary branches or establishments worldwide. Moreover, a set of support agents and initiatives for Mechatronics type activities have been developed in Navarra over the last years: >>In addition to a network of companies specialized in different auxiliary aspects of the complete Mechatronics process, several technical training activities have gradually consolidated through regional universities (specially through degrees in engineering –electromechanics, electronics, telecommunications, computer science, agronomy etc.-) and also through vocational training centers (with a wide array of education levels, around mechanical fabrication, electricity and electronics, IT and communications, industrial installation and maintenance, and specifically, industrial Mechatronics). >>Some university research groups, several technological centers specialized in automation and materials, and some public support programs for R&D&I have consolidated serving the industrial companies. In the coming years, Mechatronics integration can definitely help many companies around the world to increase their competitiveness and innovation. internationally. Mechatronics // 2013 12 In this sense, Navarra has reached an advantageous position due to the existence of a qualified offer in design, engineering and development of Mechatronics systems and also because the presence of a very sophisticated demand by leading companies in the application sectors (automotive, agro-food industry, renewable energies and aeronautics, among others). Challenges for the future in Mechatronics in Navarra Based on MODERNA Plan, Mechatronics is included in Talent Economics and the Challenge in Mechatronics for the Future is set as: “Navarra is home to a considerable number of SMEs of all types and from all sectors, and whose activity is based on the use of technologies related to mechanical engineering, electronics or computing. Mechatronics is the unitary integration of electronics and computing systems within a wide range of primarily mechanical products and processes. Over the next few years, the advances and innovations achieved in many industries throughout the world shall be generated by Mechatronics contributions and integrations. Therefore, Navarra can apply its positioning in the sphere of Mechatronics to generate new business through cooperation within the sector and with other sectors of Navarra.” Financial support for Investment At present, the overall investment projects in the Mechatronics sector in Navarra is above 60 M€, of which around 20 M€ are in Research and Development projects. Out of these investments, about four fifths come from private investors and one fifth from governmental grants. There are numerous grants available for R&D projects, provided by European (like MANUNET), National and Regional technology support programs, that include both non dilutive grants and low interest loans. Indeed, the region is currently home to some of the most relevant Spanish investors in Biotechnology, such as Sodena that has become a key element in the consolidation of this sector, with a direct investment in most of the biomedical companies currently operating in the region. In addition, the MODERNA Foundation gives access to the finance instruments of the MODERNA Plan: >>Entrepreneur grant: 35 per year >>BEI-MODERNA credit line: 250 M€ from the European Investment Bank for the advantaged financing of “MODERNA Businesses” with Sodena >>Bank guarantee for business financing: Public complement for funding projects (30% - 60%) with Sodena >>Co-investment found: Mechanisms of co-investment involving public and private investors >>Investors forum: 4 forums per year Finally, other private investors, such as venture capital firms like Clave Mayor and other financial institutions, like Caja Rural de Navarra, play a major role through their participation in the majority of the entrepreneurial initiatives in the region. All in all, Navarra guarantees a steady supply of highly qualified professionals that are ready to work in the field of Biomedicine at all levels. Moreover, the scientific and business opportunities, together with Navarra’s renowned quality of life, attract researchers from all over Spain and beyond.

L’Urederra has 52 employees and it was created in June 1999 by the association of several public authorities, financial organisations, R&D organisations and companies in diverse productive fields. The organisation is a Spanish CIT (Center of Innovation and Technology) recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Science. In its short lifetime, the center has become very active in European research and it has participated in key areas of a large number of projects. Priority Areas Materials technology related to biomedicine is the main area of activity at L’Urederra, focusing on the following fields: >>Production and modification of nanoparticles: This field not only involves the manufacturing of simple and complex nano-oxides of a small size and high purity, but also the physical-chemical treatment of nanoparticles for their subsequent use in dispersions and polymeric materials. These nanoparticles can be used in many sectors, like biomedicine. >>Non-metallic materials: This field is centerd on advanced materials, including multicomponent systems with controlled response and sensorised intelligent materials that may form part of special delivery systems in biomedicine. >>Fine chemistry: These activities are based on the synthesis of special organic fun ctional chemicals that are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry, such as organic and inorganic coupling agents, or intermediate precursors for complex reactions and sophisticated polymers. Products, Services and/or Technologies Research center On the one hand, L’Urederra cooperates with companies and other agents providing standard services, such as support for the optimisation of industrial lines or production problems, and to rapidly resolve specific needs. On the other hand, L’Urederra develops its own technological activities that are generally protected by patents. In the biomedical area, a patent titled “Hyperbranched polymers based on cyclodextrine and poly(amidoamine) for the controlled release of insoluble medicines” has been applied for. This invention relates to controlled release systems for drugs, and in particular it involves the use of hydrophilic polymers, poly(amidoamines) (PAA), that can complex with highly hydrophobic drugs and dissolve in water vehicles. In particular, this is being applied to antitumoral drugs, although other drug types are under study, such as antivirals, so that they can also be administered by injection. In this sector, L’Urederra also participates in a project titled “Multifunctional nanoparticles for detection and treatment of biofilms” (MNP-Biofilms), the main objective of which is the development of a new vector based on nanosphere-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles to detect and treat bacterial biofilms produced by microorganisms, mainly Staphylococcus Aureus (S Aureus). The most important task carried out by our center in this project is the production of the magnetic nanoparticles, carried out at the nanoparticle production plant. This is the only installation of its type in Europe, with a continuous production capability in the range of 1Kg/h, producing small nanoparticles, between 7 and 25 nanometres, of very high purity and with very little agglomeration. This plant is currently being expanded a production capacity of 5kg/h, by far the largest in the world. Achievements and Future Prospects In terms of achievements in the biomedical area, our center has a wealth of experience in the development of several types of materials and in the preparation of nanoparticle dispersions. The materials dealt with include nanoparticles, principally oxides that can be prepared as simple, complex or doped, nanocomposites or advanced polymers for different applications.
