Navarra began its activity in the world of Science and Technology Parks in the year 2000, with the creation of the Ciudad de Innovación, conceived through the First Technological Plan (2000-2003) in which the Government of Navarra defined an area whose mission was to become an industrial policy tool aimed at fostering the socio-economic development of Navarra.

There is currently a good C-T-E (Science, Technology, Enterprise) system in different physical areas situated very near and well communicated with the Pamplona Basin. In order to strengthen and increase the existing R&D&I among these areas through all possible instruments, in 2005, the Agencia Navarra de Innovación y Tecnología S.A. (ANAIN) received the order to promote a first extension, involving two new physical areas and taking on the name of Parque de la Innovación de Navarra.

One of the main responsibilities of the Agencia Navarra de Innovación y Tecnología S.A. (ANAIN) and its personnel is to manage and coordinate R&D&I and the common services in order to foster the R&D&I of the entities attached to the Parque de la Innovación de Navarra. The responsibility for promoting and managing soil and infrastructures falls upon another public company, Navarra de Suelo Industrial, (NASUINSA).

The Parque de la Innovación de Navarra is based on R&D&I, sustainable development and improvement of the quality of life. It currently has FOUR physical areas, the ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT area, the BIONANOTEC area, the BIOSANITARY area and the Technology-Based Innovative Enterprise area (EIBTs) and it has all the basic elements of an innovation agency (technological centres, universities, incubator companies, technological companies, etc) with an advanced infrastructure already in operation.
