Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife

What Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife does

Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife S.A. (PCTT, trading as Intech Tenerife) is a government-owned science and technology park headquartered in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife, and wholly controlled by the Cabildo de Tenerife through the Marco Estratégico de Desarrollo Insular (MEDI) 2016-2025 framework, with primary co-financing from the Fondo de Desarrollo de Canarias (FDCAN). The entity operates six physical enclaves across Tenerife — Innovaparq ULL, Innovaparq Dársena, Las Mantecas (Nanotec building and IACTEC), Cuevas Blancas, Barranco Grande and the IACTEC supercomputing/genomics complex — providing offices, laboratories, white rooms and specialized research infrastructure (notably the ITER supercomputing center and a next-generation sequencing genomics laboratory) to technology companies, research institutions and startups.

PCTT's offering layers this physical infrastructure with talent-development and ecosystem programs: Talentum Tenerife, the CEDeI excellence center (covering cybersecurity, AI, quantum computing, biotechnology, creative industries and Industry 4.0), STEAM Future in 38 schools, the Hub Intech Tenerife innovation and investment forum, the TLP Tenerife technology and entertainment event, and the FIRST LEGO League Canarias robotics competition. Approximately 30 companies are installed in the park, including ARQUIMEA (biotech/quantum/AI/robotics R&D), Open Cosmos (satellites), Wooptix (semiconductor optics), PwC Digital Technology Services, IAC (astrophysics), ITER and FICIC.

The business model is a public-sector managed-services platform: primary funding flows from the Cabildo de Tenerife and FDCAN, with secondary revenue from tenant occupancy of offices, labs and coworking spaces and co-financed enterprise training programs (CEDeI) where participating companies commit capital and hiring obligations. Distribution is direct-enterprise via the enclave network and CEDeI training pipeline, supplemented by event-based ecosystem marketing (Hub Intech, TLP, Archipiélago Next, APTE Innovation Spaces) and a member-level presence in the APTE network of 64 Spanish science and technology parks.
