Strategic Partnership Set to Transform Engineering and Consulting in the Canary Islands

The Engineering and Consulting Companies Association of Las Palmas, commonly referred to as AINCO, has taken a significant step towards enhancing the engineering and consulting landscape in the Canary Islands by entering into a collaboration agreement with the Smart Island Cluster, known as INCO-LAB. This partnership is poised to create a more robust framework for innovation and development within the sector.

This landmark agreement was formalized by Francisco González, who serves as the representative for AINCO, and Octavio Mederos, the representative from INCO-LAB. The signing ceremony was attended by prominent figures including Pedro Ortega and José Cristóbal García, who hold the positions of President and Executive Vice-President of the Canary Island Confederation of Employers (CCE), respectively. Rosendo López, the Vice-President of AINCO, was also present to witness this pivotal moment.

Establishment of a New Governance Body for Engineering and Consulting

A central aspect of this collaboration is the formation of the Regional Council for Engineering and Consulting. This newly established body is intended to coordinate joint initiatives, foster innovation, and act as a vital link between the engineering sector and various government entities, as well as business associations. The governance structure will ensure that both AINCO and INCO-LAB have representation in the governing bodies and specialized committees of the CCE and CEOE-Tenerife. Specifically, AINCO will take on the role of advocating for INCO-LAB within the CCE, while INCO-LAB will represent AINCO in CEOE-Tenerife, thereby creating a symbiotic relationship that enhances both organizations’ influence.

Shared Vision and Collaborative Opportunities

Despite maintaining their individual legal and organizational frameworks, AINCO and INCO-LAB are committed to working together on a variety of initiatives. These include the development of training programs, organization of events, infrastructure projects, and other business initiatives aimed at promoting the engineering and consulting sector across the islands. This partnership represents a significant shift towards a more integrated and competitive business model, highlighting the crucial role that engineering and consulting play in stimulating economic growth within the Canary Islands.

By pooling their resources and expertise, AINCO and INCO-LAB aim to enhance the overall competitiveness and innovative capacity of the engineering and consulting sector. This collaboration is expected to lead to the development of new methodologies and practices that can be adopted by companies operating in the region, thus elevating the standards of service and output.

Furthermore, the partnership is anticipated to create a ripple effect, encouraging other sectors to explore similar collaborative frameworks. The emphasis on joint initiatives may inspire a culture of cooperation among various industries, ultimately contributing to a more dynamic and resilient economy in the Canary Islands.

As the engineering and consulting sectors continue to evolve, this agreement positions both AINCO and INCO-LAB at the forefront of industry advancements. The commitment to innovation and collaboration will not only benefit the organizations involved but also the broader community, as enhanced engineering and consulting capabilities can lead to improved infrastructure and services for residents and businesses alike.
