R&D+i activities

In 2015, Cellnex has continued investing in technological innovation and research and development, taking part in various R&D+i projects both in Spain and internationally. The R&D+i projects during the year have focused primarily on Smart Cities and IoT, security and emergency networks and broadcasting.

In 2015, the budget earmarked for subsidised projects totalled €184,000 (instrumentation and models, iCity, Compose, Growsmarter, Please, Ondada, Reinvel and Acorn), plus an investment of €300,000 for in-house R&D+i, based on pre-commercial pilot projects on products and services.

In the current global context, characterised by rapid innovation and a global social reality closely bound up with the digital world and communication technologies, this investment reflects Cellnex drive for innovation.

Fundamentally, the commitment originates from the Company’s mission to create value for society, customers and shareholders, through innovative, efficient, neutral and quality management in service provision and delivery of technological solutions.
