The Technology Park tenders the works of the new multipurpose building for nine million

• This is one of the key projects within the Canary Islands Geo Innovation Program 2030.
  

The Board of Directors of the Fuerteventura Technology Park has approved this Friday to put out to tender for almost nine million euros the works of the multipurpose building that will house the Center for Innovation and Development of emergency, biodiversity and security missions (ISSEC).

This is one of the first actions of the Canary Islands Geo Innovation Program 2030, giving rise to a center for the testing and deployment of emergency, biodiversity and security missions and operations using drones (UAS) in out-of-line flights.
The multipurpose building will have spaces for design, simulation, instruction, training, mission rooms and flight control, as well as a residential area for technologists and people in training.
IsSEC has the support of the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Government of the Canary Islands through the Complementary R&D&I Plans of the Spain Can Recovery Plan (Next Generation EU funds), with an estimated budget of 25 million euros.
For the president of the Cabildo, Sergio Lloret López, this is another step towards the implementation of a technological project that "will position Fuerteventura at the forefront of the technological industry of the aerospace and telecommunications sector, with the importance that this has to diversify our economy, retain talent and create employment among young people".
In this sense, the Minister of Innovation, Rayco León, highlights the importance of training for the creation of local and quality employment.
The project is complemented and supported by Geo Training Center to carry out training actions for pilots of advanced operations with drones. An initiative that has interested the population and that already has 500 people registered.

RetechFor, a forest monitoring project for the Fuerteventura Technology Park.

The president of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, Sergio Lloret, has participated in a new meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fuerteventura Technology Park, to analyze the progress that is being carried out in the ongoing projects and address other agreements. At this meeting, the approval of a new initiative for forest control and monitoring was also announced.



RetechFOR, a forest monitoring project
Specifically, President Lloret referred to the project approved by the Council of Ministers on March 28, RetechFOR, presented jointly by the autonomous communities of the Canary Islands, through the Technology Park of Fuerteventura, and Castilla y León, through its CESEFOR center, for the development of a technological and territorial network for forest monitoring and the control and reduction of environmental disasters, that will allow the monitoring of fires through the use of platforms, satellite and pseudo-satellite.

The budget of this project amounts to 28.2 million euros, of which 12 million will be executed by the insular Technology Park, until 2026.

With regard to the strategies of economic diversification and technological innovation, promoted by the Technology Park, the insular councilor and also president of the Board of Directors, Sergio Lloret, has pointed out that the various actions underway "are going with very good expectations for the future, fortunately. Not only does progress continue with the execution works of the projects currently underway, such as the Stratoport for HAPS and the ISSEC multipurpose building, but also with new opportunities that have recently arisen."

Likewise, the Council has also approved the presentation of the infrastructure project for experimentation with advanced 5G and 6G technology for unmanned aerial systems -UAS, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The objective is to have, at the island level, an advanced telephone network that allows the safe flight of unmanned aerial systems in the missions that are intended to be developed within the Canarias Geo Innovation Program 2030.

"We are working on an action with this infrastructure of experimentation and advanced 5G technology, which may mean that Fuerteventura is a pioneer in terms of the implementation of this technology throughout the island," said the president.

Canarias Geo Innovation Program 2030, and its development projects, are co-financed by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, the European Union through its FEDER Funds and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, España Puede, derived from the Next Generation EU fund. In addition, it also receives support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Government of the Canary Islands, through the Canarian Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society, ACIISI, under the Ministry of Economy, Knowledge and Employment, and with the co-financing of the Canary Islands Development Fund, FDCAN.
