The Technology Park of Asturias (PT Asturias), inaugurated in June 1991, was an
initiative of the Government of the Principality of Asturias to boost innovative business in the
region.
The Park is set in an impressive 48ha (approx.) of urban and natural
surroundings and offers high quality, specific services to set up innovative, technology-based
companies and projects.
PT Asturias houses the Non-Metallic Materials Technological Centre (ITMA
Foundation), which now includes the Centre for Nano-materials and Nano-technology Research; the
European Business and Innovation Centre (BIC Asturias), which manages the Incubator and future
Bio-Incubator for the Park; and a Centre for Advanced Technology Services. Furthermore, the Park is
the headquarters for regional public business promotion entities (IDEPA, SRP, ASTURGAR y ASTUREX).
Businesses and investors can benefit from all these services aimed at improving their
competitiveness.
At present, the PT Asturias has a hundred per cent level of occupancy. To
respond to the growing demand of innovative technology companies, planning for an extension to the
Park has begun in adjacent land, in approximately 74,000 m².
