President’s Foreword
2011 has been a year of strong global economic crisis, which was even more dramatic in Spain. Fedit Technology Centers have been exploring ways to reinvent themselves: exploring new niche markets with high growth potential, expanding their capabilities to international technology transfer markets and exploiting areas of R&D to generate new business initiatives. Reductions in state public funding of recent years have caused the cancellation of several programs to help R&D activities in Fedit Technology Centers. Meanwhile, funding from regional governments and international programs increased slightly, allowing Fedit Technology Centers to increase, to some extent, their revenue through competitive calls. Trying to anticipate the adverse effects associated with the reduction of public resources for their sustenance, Fedit Centers are focusing their efforts towards increasing their capacity and efficiency for generating new businesses out of their research results.

Salvador Bresó President of Fedit
2011 has been a very complex year but, despite the difficulties, the support of the associated Technology Centers and that of the Federation staff, have allowed carrying forward the great majority of projects in Fedit Action Plan for this year. I would like to expressly thank the team for their generosity and effort at times as complex as those experienced during this year. The last few months have been marked by the strong financial stress associated with the big debt that regional governments have towards the Technology Centers. In an extremely unfavorable environment like this, the situation is likely to endanger the continuity of some outstanding Technology Centers in their area of activity. The total amount of debt is associated with projects under development and / or completed and justified. We nevertheless are confident that the problem of this default is solved as soon as possible to avoid the collapse of institutions working to improve the competitiveness of the business and economic development of their environment, highly necessary in the current scenario. Despite of the unfavorable environment, the activity conducted by Fedit Technology Centers during recent years and the results they have obtained allow us to conclude that Fedit Technology Centers are the most effective Spanish research organizations in the support of business R&D and have clearly shown an impact on economic growth, employment and business investment in R&D&I.

During year 2011 we have suffered a new twist to the general economic situation in our country. The economic results of Fedit Technology Centers show that the economic adjustments that are going on since 2008 in their R&D market (applied research, experimental development and innovation) have taken place in the public investment. Indeed, their income from the market grew an 8% thanks to an increase of 3% of the value of their private contracts and to a strong increase of their income from other means of commercialization of their research results. On the opposite, the public funding for their investments in the research and development of new technologies or the exploration of new applications of the most promising emerging technologies was reduced in an 8%. This reduction happened both in their income from public contracts and in their income from state and regional public R&D programs. As a consequence the funding structure of the Technology Centers changed to be 61% coming from market and 39% coming from R&D public programs (basic and competitive). The figures show that the state and regional funds had a similar reduction of 11%.
The Technology Centers disinvestment will likely pose problems in the short and medium term to maintain our trade balance in the path of recovery that began en 2012 As already anticipated by Fedit the search for public funding to support the investments in generation of new technologies and exploration of potential adaptations of emerging technologies was concentrated during year 2011 in international programs.

Annual Balance
The 38% growth of the income from international competitive public programs (mainly europeans) avoided a dramatic decrease of the public funding of Fedit Technology Centers. The international public funding of Fedit Technology Centers was almost the same as their State public income during year 2011. The growth of the international public funding and their income from private contracts allowed that the total income of Fedit Technology Centers grew a 1% during year 2011.

Fedit Technology Centers are not an end in themselves but they are an instrument to allow public investment to permeate in a wide number of Spanish companies As Fedit has been alerting since the process of public funding reduction started, the capacity of Fedit Technology Centers to explore and find new technological solutions and explore new applications of top technologies is being reduced. This will impact in their technology transfer capacity to companies putting in danger their sustainability in the short term. Fedit Technology Centers are not an end in themselves but they are an instrument to allow public investment to permeate in a wide number of Spanish companies, mainly small and medium enterprises that have difficulties to pay costly investments in R&D, allowing them to introduce technological innovations that wouldn´t be possible without a big initial investment.
Like any investment process, its results are not immediate. The results show up years after the investments are made (or are cancelled). That is why the income from R&D contracts of Fedit Technology Centers has been similar to that of previous years despite reductions in public investment in recent years. We are not optimistic about the value that the income from R&D contracts will reach in 2012. Worst, once the R&D contracts reduce dramatically due to the lack of investments, we will need to wait for public investment, if it finally recovers, to pay off before it has an impact in R&D&I contracts. It is appropriate to emphasize that R&D&I contracts of Fedit Technology Centers is a barometer to measure the extent to which Spanish companies, primarily in the industrial sector, are addressing processes of modernization to improve their productivity and competitiveness. The Spanish trade balance has improved during year 2012. However, it has probably improved thanks to the substitution of a domestic market by the international markets for existing products. Maintaining positive trade balance during a period of growth needs a continuous effort by Spanish companies to improve their productivity and find competitive advantages faster than their global competitors. The Technology Centers disinvestment will likely pose problems in the short and medium term to maintain our trade balance in the path of recovery that began in 2012. It is in this context of the preparation for economic growth in which Fedit has been demanding for years, and most urgently in the last two, a deep reform of our policies on science and technology, focusing them towards generating competitive advantages in companies so that their “forced� internationalization obliged by falling domestic demand is maintained and strengthened when all the circumstances required to allow economic growth in our country are set.

Industrial-scale development of roofing tiles with low bioreceptivity. Proposal of an accelerated method for the evaluation of resistance to biological colonisation
Laserfiring
Sector: Ceramic
The objective of this project, being carried out under the LIFE+ programme, is to develop a new production process for structural ceramic materials, applying laser technology in the firing process. This enables to reduce the temperature required in between 100 and 500 °C, obtaining significant savings in energy costs and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The new process does not alter the technological properties of the materials, but in some cases their aesthetic characteristics are improved.
Resistance to biological colonisation is an important property that affects the quality of construction materials. There is great interest by roofing tile manufacturing companies, such as the participating company in this case, La Escandella, in avoiding or reducing the biodeterioration caused by biological colonisation, which is estimated to affect 30% of roofing tile turnover. Glazed roofing tiles with low porosity and glazed roofing tiles with extremely colonisation-resistant photocatalytic coatings have been developed, which are highly appropriate for regions with a harsh climate. A test methodology has also been established for the evaluation of resistance to biological colonisation. The project was funded by the former Ministry of Science and Innovation.

EU has identified food and health as key priorities to respond to the increase in obesity and diet-related chronic diseases amongst their population. Attempts to raise public awareness of appropriate ways to eat more healthily though do not seem to have led to significant changes in patterns of food purchase and consumption. INPROFOOD will foster dialogue and mutual learning between industry, academia and civil society already in the earliest stages of the research processes directed towards developing innovative approaches (technical and social) for dealing with the food and health challenge. This project is funded by the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme. Contact details: CTAEX Ctra. Villafranco a Balboa Km 1,2 06195 Villafranco del Guadiana (Badajoz) P: (+34) 924 448 077
