The centre also acts as an intersection of ideas and advancement for agencies and companies with capabilities, interests, and businesses in the aeronautical engines and structural components sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The conception of this centre as a conjunction of the University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU) and the Business Cluster for the Development of Advanced Aeronautics Manufacturing Techniques,<strong>\u00a0together with the Basque Country Government and Provincial Council of Bizkaia, in collaboration with the Technological and Scientific Park of Bizkaia<\/strong>, enables the Center to focus on the end applications of aeronautics production, without forgetting the generation, and use and fine-tuning of new knowledge in advanced manufacturing techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs style_default switch_click accordion has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_chevron cpos_right\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"pbe8\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-pbe8\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Therefore, it is not only an initiation of joint interest as a driving force for technology, but also a new model for university-company relationships.
