Fundación COTEC para la innovación is a private non-profit organization based in Madrid, Spain. Founded in 1992, it promotes innovation as a driver of economic and social development, defining innovation broadly as any knowledge-based change that generates value.
With over 100 members—including major private companies and regional/local administrations—and honorary presidency of H.M. King Felipe VI, COTEC acts as an observatory for R&D&I in Spain. It produces analyses, reports, and recommendations on topics such as technological employment, AI, circular economy, and innovation in sectors including industry and chemicals.
Key activities include annual reports on innovation trends, surveys of business innovation (highlighting high innovation rates in chemicals at 52%), and initiatives on sustainability, digitalization, and education. While not exclusively focused on chemicals, its work supports innovation across Spanish industries.
