We have gone to the Zulaibar Campus, in the heart of the Arratia valley, to attend a day of dissemination of the existing programs that allow the possibility of collaboration between the Vocational Training centers, the Vice-Ministry of the Basque Government of Education and the companies that want to bet on innovation and entrepreneurship.
The session was presented and directed by Ander Arakistain, from Errota Fundazioa, and was attended (in order of participation) by:
- Rikardo Lamadrid, Director of Technology and Advanced Learning of the Basque Government
- Pili Alonso, Director of Applied Innovation in Strategic Environments at Tknika
- Gorka Goikoetxea, teacher at the Zulaibar training center and promoter of TKGUNE in the center.
- Joseba Maiezkurrena, Director of Entrepreneurship and Business Competitiveness of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia.
Zulaibar has presented the innovation projects in which they have worked with interested companies, within the Tkgune program, which aims to transfer knowledge and talent from vocational training centers to companies and, in turn, provide applied innovation. in the new processes or tools that need to be incorporated into the market.
Within the Tkgune program, and presented as an example, is the prototype designed by the Zulaibar Campus in collaboration with Drone by Drone, for the development of a device for installing anti-collision beacons for high voltage distribution networks that could be shipped in a drone or unmanned aircraft. Aware of the challenges in terms of sustainability and the environment, as a drone operating company, the design and manufacturing knowledge held by the Zeanuri training center has been used to develop a drone for the installation of bird-saving beacons, since that this type of work, in which robotics and automation, may become a necessity in the near future.
It is a pleasure to attend these types of sessions and make visible the applied innovation projects that are an example among companies and vocational training centers, within the services offered by administrations through Tknika programs, such as Tkgune.
