The Swiss multinational SGS has taken a decisive step in the field of certification in Spain by integrating the specialized team from DNV in technological projects. This strategy is designed to strengthen its presence in the business innovation sector and represents a significant advancement in its technical and operational capabilities in the country.
With this new addition, SGS will not only expand its national coverage but also optimize its ability to offer more structured services tailored to the needs of its clients. The new team’s experience in evaluating innovative projects will enhance SGS’s value proposition, solidifying it as a key player in the certification of R&D+i activities. This move comes at a time when Spanish companies are intensifying their investments in innovation, viewing it as a driver of competitiveness.
The certification of R&D+i projects, regulated by Royal Decree 1432/2003 and the UNE 166001 standard, has become a fundamental tool for maximizing the tax deductions permitted by current legislation. These deductions can reach up to 42% of the investment, as long as the projects are properly accredited by an independent entity. This underscores the importance of having rigorous certification.
Álvaro Rodríguez de Roa Gómez, Director of Business Assurance Iberia at SGS, has noted that this integration will allow for more personalized attention to clients and a comprehensive service in certifying their projects. This enhancement not only reflects a commitment to innovation and excellence but also reaffirms SGS’s position as a benchmark in the sector.
The company wishes to convey a clear message to the market: innovation is not just a matter of internal development; it also requires expert guidance and the assurance of certification from accredited third parties.
SGS, with a presence in 119 countries and over 145 years of experience, is positioned as a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, with a strong commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability in business innovation.
