One-liner: the energy technology institute (Paterna) — home to Spain's only ENAC-accredited battery-performance lab and the full lithium-battery value chain (manufacture → ecodesign → recycling), plus a battery diagnosis/reconditioning bench. The go-to testbed for energy-storage, EV and cleantech startups.
What you get
- ENAC-accredited battery-performance testing (the only one in Spain) — cycling, safety, ageing, characterisation.
- Full Li-battery value-chain support: cell/pack manufacture, ecodesign, second-life and recycling, plus a diagnosis & reconditioning bench.
- Contract R&D on energy storage, power electronics, smart grids and energy efficiency; also runs the MIDCAP digitalisation advisory (IVACE MIDCAP Digitalizacion).
Who it's for
- Energy-storage, battery, EV/mobility, power-electronics and cleantech startups validating cells/packs, certifying performance/safety, or developing recycling/second-life processes.
How to engage (routes)
- Direct testing / lab contract — scope battery tests or a bench project; pay per service (member rates apply).
- Contract R&D / consortium — co-develop storage/energy tech.
- As a subcontractor in your own grant — eligible external-service cost in IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 / NEOTEC 2026 / IVACE Eficiencia Energetica.
Key facts
- Only ENAC-accredited battery-performance lab in Spain · full Li-battery value chain + reconditioning. Cost = per-service fees.
