The development of our strategy has taken into account the FIELDS OF SPECIALISATON of the RIS3, specifically in terms of advanced and sustainable materials, agroalimentary markets and supply (network technologies). In addition, the new strategy continues to address the guidance of the Regional Directorate of Forestry Management which focuses on improving sustainable forestry production and the development of forestry management tools and, in particular, the Strategic Plan for Sweet Chestnut.
In its Strategic Plan 2018-2021 the CETEMAS Foundation has, of course, taken into account the objectives of the RIS3 of the Principality of Asturias, as a result of which we have embraced emerging technologies (IoT, Industry 4.0, active and passive sensors, etc.) which have become established elements of the technological environment in recent years.
In view of the changes occurring in the technological marketplace, the CETEMAS Foundation needs to address its strategic planning in order to ensure it is appropriately prepared and positioned in this fast-moving environment. As such, the Foundation recently carried out a redefinition of its strategy which resulted in the definition of the technologies that are essential to facing the challenges and needs of the market within which we work as well as other fields where they can be applied.
