About OnTech Innovation

OnGranada Tech City has established itself as the largest digital economy business organization and the largest technological cluster in Andalusia. After its foundation in 2013 as Granada Plaza Technology and Biotechnology Cluster Association, the group has evolved in the last five years, creating a new global brand: OnTech Innovation.

OnTech has more than 640 associated companies, which represent 51% of the turnover of the sector in Andalusia, which represents more than 3% of regional GDP. In addition, its associated companies generate more than 58% of the employment of the technology sector in the Andalusian community.

Its broad representation base, linked mainly to the ICT and BioTIC sector, has led it to be classified as an Innovative Business Group by the Ministry of Economy and to be included in the catalog of the Digital Innovation Hubs of the European Commission.

OnTech Innovation aims to consolidate Andalusia as a technology plaza and strengthen the ICT and BioTIC business fabric by providing services linked to innovation; training and employment; and entrepreneurship. Another of its pillars of work is the acquisition of projects and funds for the development of innovative initiatives that take Andalusia and its companies further.
