ITI

One-liner: the Instituto Tecnológico de Informática — the most founder-relevant REDIT institute for digital startups: a one-stop shop for AI, Big Data and software innovation, since 1994; leads the Finance/Legal node of the BSC AI Factory and bridges SMEs to serious compute.

What a founder gets

• AI, Big Data & software R&D services across the full "data cycle" — capture, integration, analytics, ML/AI model development, and deployment; plus digital twins, cyber-physical systems, IoT, cloud, computer vision and blockchain.
• Advanced diagnosis services — free-standing "madurez" (maturity) diagnostics: software-quality maturity, IT-department maturity, and digital-transformation roadmap — a low-friction way to get expert eyes on your stack before committing to a bigger engagement.
• Information-management consultancy — document/knowledge-management systems, competitive-intelligence (vigilancia tecnológica) setup, and e-learning tool evaluation.
• Compute bridge — leads the Finance & Legal node of the BSC (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) AI Factory, a genuine route to HPC/GPU access for SMEs that can't afford their own infrastructure.
• I+DEANDO — an open call inviting "visionary companies" to co-develop ITI's next R&D challenges — a direct co-innovation route for startups with a relevant capability.
• ITI Training — structured courses (Big Data, BI, software quality/testing, cloud, web development, project management) plus free technical webinars.
• Full engagement-route detail: see the companion program page ITI Data Cycle Hub.

Who it's for

• AI, data, software, fintech and cybersecurity startups — from seed (via the diagnostics/training entry points) through growth (contract R&D, compute access).

How to engage

• iti.es/asociate — become an ITI associate ("Asóciate") for ongoing access and technology-watch benefits.
• Direct project/service — scope an AI/data project, a diagnosis service, or a training course; pay per engagement (member rates apply).
• I+DEANDO challenges — apply as a company to co-develop one of ITI's open R&D challenges.
• Physical bases: Parque Tecnológico de Paterna (HQ) + a UPV campus location (Ciudad Politécnica de la Innovación) + Torre Juana OST, Alicante.
• See ITI Data Cycle Hub for the full route breakdown including subcontracting inside an IVACE grant.
