About Us

The ZubiGune Foundation is a private non-profit organisation that is the result of a partnership between businesses, the Usurbil Vocational Training Centre and technology centres, committed to increasing cooperation between the various stakeholders involved in the technological and social development of our region.

This partnership is the realisation of an old ambition: to create an institution that is solely devoted to ensuring that any research conducted supports and reaches our SMEs.

The ZubiGune Foundation is essentially focused on a business environment which often fails to harness the technological advances achieved by our research centres in a timely manner, and this is something we believe that we can improve through training, raising awareness and promoting projects.
