WHO WE ARE
SOERMAR FUNDATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL CENTER
In 1988, the need to apply technology in the manufacture of fishing vessels led to the creation of the Soermar Technology Center,which would help small and medium-sized shipyards in the design and construction of vessels with the most advanced technology in the sector.
In 2002 the Soermar Technological Center Foundation was established, the purpose of which will be to seek new lines of joint action in Technical and Technological matters that improve the competitiveness of the Shipyards.
The main lines of action of both entities are based on:

Support to companies in the maritime sector in the search for financial aid and instruments for the materialization of R + D + i projects.
Likewise, the C.T. Soermar actively collaborates in the academic field through the Soermar-UPM Chair,developing technical conferences, promoting collaboration between university and business through scholarship programs, awards, webinars, etc.
In the specific field of R&D&I of the Naval Industry, the Private Shipyards have authorized Soermar to represent and interlocate in defence of their interests, actively collaborating with the European, national and regional public administrations.
A total of 19 Shipyards make up the Technology Center and the Foundation, establishing the lines of action annually through their Governing Bodies.
