Navarre has a significant number of companies in the automotive sector (5.9% of its GVA), as the largest exporting sector in the region by far (45% of the total). As concerns areas for growth and innovation, the development of automotive parts manufacturers and their progress in the value chain particularly stands out in addition to the promotion of sustainable mobility, electrical vehicles and driverless vehicles as future trends.
On the other hand, the region has special advanced manufacturing capabilities with the machinery, electronics and production system companies grouped together under mechatronics (6.9% of the GVA). In this area, there is greater technological specialization as it accounts for nearly 39% of all patents in the last few years and 24.4% of exports from Navarre.

The EU-funded TEESMAT project sought to address bottlenecks early in the development of new battery innovations, by providing easy access to such knowledge and techniques, and by building up expertise through the sharing of best practices and results. This was achieved by bringing together those offering cutting-edge characterisation techniques and expertise with industrial players in the battery field.
De-icing aircraft is a critical safety procedure that takes up time and money. New corrosion-resistant coatings have been developed and could help aviation achieve operational efficiencies, and benefit other industrial sectors as well.
EPOMM is the European Platform on Mobility Management, a network of governments in European countries that are engaged in Mobility Management (MM).
They are represented by the Ministries that are responsible for MM in their countries. EPOMM is organised as an international non profit organisation with seat in Brussels (BE).
New European partnership on connected, cooperative and automated mobility, which aims to create a more user-centric and inclusive mobility system, increasing road safety while reducing congestion and the environmental footprint. To do this, it will fund collaborative research, test and demonstration projects to accelerate the pace of innovation and deployment of automated mobility. In addition, it aims to help remove barriers and contribute to the acceptance and efficient deployment of automation technologies and services.
