The main objective of the UNICO R&D Programs is to strengthen research, development, and innovation activities to consolidate Spain´s leadership in European and national projects of cloud infrastructure, edge computing technology, semiconductors, and quantum communication. This measure is expected to be implemented by the end of 2025.
UNICO R&D envisages three main programs:
- UNICO R&D Cloud, through which Spanish companies participating in the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for next-generation cloud and edge services and infrastructure (IPCEI-CIS) will be supported.
- UNICO R&D Microprocessors, which will support Spanish companies participating in the Microelectronics and Communication Technologies IPCEI (IPCEI-ME-TC).
- UNICO R&D Quantum, which aims to develop the necessary space capabilities to design, develop and build the first quantum mission for the distribution of quantum keys.
