The association plays a key role in fostering
internationalisation and competitiveness
among its members, with the support of the
Central Government, autonomous regional
bodies and industry associations from all
over Spain.
45% of the associates belong to the
Electronics and Telecommunication Cluster,
registering a 32% growth from 2010 to 2011.
The main Spanish exports for the component
and industrial electronics sector were
photosensitive semiconductor devices, parts
of subheadings devices 85.25 to 85.28,
processors and controllers, electronic
measuring or checking instruments, smart
cards, printed circuits consisting only of
conductor elements and contacts, electronic
assemblies, light emitting diodes and sound
and image recording, the first being the most
important, accounting for approximately 56%
of the total.
This is a very technology-intensive sector,
which when combined with the other sectors
related to the IT and telecommunications
industry, leads Spain's investment in R&D&I.
In 2009, the R&D contribution from all of
these sectors accounted for 19% of all
investment made in Spain and nearly 40% of
investment in research by the private sector.
The Telecom industry refers to the different
markets in which an operator can play: Fixed
Telephony, Mobile, Cable, ADSL, Digital TV,
VoIP and systems and information
management and communication. Together
