CIC energiGUNE is the research center of electrochemical and thermal energy storage, a strategic initiative of the Basque Government. CIC energiGUNE was born in 2011 to generate excellent research in materials and systems for energy storage. The goal of CIC energiGUNE is to maximize the impact on results to the Basque business network through collaboration with universities, research centers, and companies.
CIC energiGUNE is a private non-profit foundation, located in the Alava Technology Park and a member of BRTA (BASQUE RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY ALLIANCE). Today, it is considered one of the top 3 reference centers in Europe, thanks to the positioning of its research lines, its research team and its state of art characterization, testing infrastructure, and prototyping platforms that make it the reference laboratory in southern Europe.
