Fundació Tecnocampus Mataró-Maresme

What Fundació Tecnocampus Mataró-Maresme does

Fundació Tecnocampus Mataró-Maresme is a private nonprofit foundation registered in Catalonia that operates an integrated higher-education and technology-park model. Its core academic offering is delivered through a university center affiliated with Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), providing 18 undergraduate degree programs (plus official master's degrees, own master's and diplomas, and specialization courses) across four areas: technology, cultural industries, business, and health, distributed via the Catalan university pre-enrollment system and supplemented by the HUB4T Centre for Permanent Training and eCampus online platform.

The technology-park component shares the same Mataró campus (Avinguda d'Ernest Lluch, 32) and provides physical incubator space, business offices, an acceleration program portfolio (Innoemprèn Sostenible, Reimagine Textile, Antena TrenLab with Renfe), a congress center, and a 20+ year-old entrepreneurship awards program (Premis Creatic). Go Global, accredited by ACCIÓ since 2020, delivers subsidized internationalization services to regional SMEs and startups, leveraging soft-landing partnerships with technology parks in Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, Chile, and China. Research activity is organized into groups covering health, sports, social sciences, audio-visual media, and technology, with specialized chairs (e.g., Chair of Aging and Quality of Life).

Revenue is generated from tuition (set by the Generalitat de Catalunya), public administration contributions, business services (incubation, congress hosting, training), and program subsidies. The Generalitat de Catalunya is a key funding counterparty, providing a €2M capital grant in 2026 alongside an €18M BBVA bank loan to fund a €20M new-building expansion project scheduled for completion by end of 2029. Customer segments include university students (1,161 assigned in 2025-2026 cycle), startups and entrepreneurs, regional SMEs in the Maresme region, the research community, and senior learners (TecnoCampus Sènior).
