Direct peers

• Fundetec (Fundación para el Desarrollo Infotecnológico): Spanish non-profit foundation focused on digital transformation and ICT adoption, particularly for SMEs and citizens. Comparable non-profit model working on digital inclusion and innovation ecosystem development.
• Clúster TIC Catalunya: Catalonia's ICT technology cluster association, structurally analogous to onTech Innovation as a regional non-profit coordinating ICT and digital transformation projects with member companies, knowledge centres, and public administrations.
• Madrid Network: Madrid's industrial and technological cluster association coordinating innovation projects across multiple sectors. Highly comparable as a Spanish regional cluster intermediary facilitating public-private R&D collaboration.
• GAIA - Asociación de Industrias de las Tecnologías Electrónicas y de la Información del País Vasco: Basque Country technology cluster representing electronics, IT, and digital economy companies. Comparable non-profit cluster model with deep member network and R&D project coordination similar to onTech.

Regional players

• Andalucía Aerospace (Cluster Aeroespacial de Andalucía): Andalusian aerospace cluster association, the most directly geographically comparable peer operating in the same region with the same non-profit cluster model, though focused on aerospace rather than ICT/digital economy.
• Clúster Audiovisual de Catalunya: Catalonia's audiovisual cluster association, sharing the Spanish cluster model with onTech Innovation. While focused on a different vertical (audiovisual), it operates the same non-profit cluster intermediary model for regional industry coordination.

Broad incumbents

• Enterprise Europe Network: EU-supported network helping SMEs access EU funding and innovation partnerships. Comparable role in facilitating access to European programs and inter-cluster collaboration, similar to onTech's EDIH activities.
• European Digital SME Alliance: Pan-European association representing small and medium-sized digital companies. Comparable in representing SME digital ecosystem interests, though operating at EU policy level rather than as a regional cluster.
• Digital Europe: European trade association representing the digital technology industry, comparable in representing the broader digital economy but at continental policy level rather than as a regional cluster coordinator.
• EUREKA (Network for market-driven R&D): International R&D cooperation network facilitating collaborative projects across Europe. Comparable in coordinating cross-border R&D&I projects and public-private partnerships, though at a broader international scale.
