Strategy

EnergiBasque is one of the areas of smart specialisation that is part of the RIS 3 Strategy and the Basque Country’s 2030 Science, Technology and Innovation Plan.

It is developed through a public-private collaboration scheme, under the supervision and coordination of the RIS3 Energy Steering Group coordinated by the SPRI Group.

And it is part of the European Green Deal, the European Climate Pact. At the Paris Climate Summit, nearly 200 countries agreed to move towards a zero-emissions scenario by 2050, adhering to the energy transition.

Its mission is to make the Basque Country a benchmark territory in Europe in the development of industrial and technological initiatives in the main energy fields, so that the transition generates wealth, employment and quality of life.
