WHAT WE'RE DOING

Navantia is a technology company committed to innovation throughout the value chain. Innovation is the main driver of economic growth towards new business models, enhancing competitiveness in existing business lines. As such, it dedicates resources to research, development and innovation in order to anticipate and respond to new technological challenges in a context of global competition and an ever-changing, increasingly complex environment.

The Shipyard 4.0 project sees Navantia modernising its operation centres to integrate them into the new Digital Ecosystem.

Navantia’s innovation model is based around open and collaborative technological knowledge and includes a technological transition process by which R&D results are incorporated into new programmes. In order to maintain investment levels in R & D+i, Navantia relies on collaborative agreements with leading universities and technology centres in Spain.

As part of the innovation model, there should be special focus on the ‘Shipyard 4.0’ project, devised to improve processes and tools throughout the value chain and to act as a driver in the renewal of production centres and their integration into the new Digital Ecosystem.
