The true value of a technology park is not in its buildings, but in what happens inside them. The foundational vision of DAT Alierta is clear: to be an environment designed for «technology transfer».

But how does an idea travel from a university laboratory to become a market product? The answer lies in the physical integration of the University of Zaragoza (Unizar) into the district and the rise of Spin-offs.

The Seedbed: I3A Spin-offs

The Aragon Institute for Engineering Research (I3A) acts as the quarry for Deep Tech companies. We aren’t talking about simple apps, but technology based on years of science:

• Dive medical: eye tracking and AI technology for visual medical diagnostics.
• Epic power converters: energy recovery systems, crucial for industrial efficiency.
• Bit&Brain: pioneers in neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces.

The journey of innovation at DAT Alierta

The district is designed to accelerate the lifecycle of these scientific companies:

1. Birth (Unizar): the research team develops the intellectual property.
2. Incubation (CEEI): the new company installs itself in CEEI Aragon (inside DAT), receiving mentorship and business structure.
3. Prototyping (ITA/CIRCE): they collaborate with the district’s technology centers to scale their industrial prototypes.
4. Market (Industry): they have direct access to partners like Siemens or Integra in the adjacent building to validate and sell their technology.

Research at the highest level.

To guarantee this flow, DAT Alierta has secured the presence of the most powerful R&D engines: CSIC (basic science), CIRCE (energy), and ITA (AI and robotics).The vision: at DAT Alierta, the physical proximity between a Unizar PhD student and a Siemens Innovation Director is not a coincidence; it is the strategy for Aragonese science to turn into GDP.
