ITP NEXT GENERATION TURBINES SOCIEDAD LIMITADA

Their core work

ITP Next Generation Turbines is a Spanish aero engine technology company based in the Basque Country, specializing in the design and development of next-generation aircraft turbine components. They contribute deep expertise in aeromechanics, aeroelasticity, and combustion systems to major European aviation R&D programmes, particularly Clean Sky 2. More recently, they have expanded into digital twin technologies and zero-defect manufacturing applied to engine production and supply chains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their early H2020 work (2018) focused squarely on core aero engine engineering — combustion, flutter analysis, and aeromechanical research within the Clean Sky 2 framework. By 2020, while continuing engine development (GAM-2020-ENG), they branched into digital manufacturing through InterQ, embracing AI, digital twins, and supply chain traceability. This signals a deliberate move to complement their physical engine expertise with Industry 4.0 capabilities.

They are bridging traditional turbine engineering with digital manufacturing technologies, positioning themselves as a partner that understands both the physics and the data side of next-generation engine production.

How they like to work

ITP Next Generation Turbines participates exclusively as a third party, meaning they are brought into projects by lead partners who specifically need their turbine engineering expertise. Their involvement in large consortia (80 unique partners across 18 countries from just 4 projects) reflects the massive scale of Clean Sky 2 and similar aviation programmes. This third-party-only pattern suggests they contribute specialized technical know-how on demand rather than initiating or shaping project proposals themselves.

Despite participating in only 4 projects, they connect to 80 unique partners across 18 countries — a reflection of the large Clean Sky 2 consortia. Their network spans the major European aerospace and manufacturing ecosystems.

What sets them apart

As part of the ITP Aero family in the Basque Country, they bring deep turbine engineering capability that few European companies outside the major OEMs can match. Their combination of hands-on aeromechanical expertise with emerging digital twin and zero-defect manufacturing skills makes them a rare bridge between traditional engine development and smart production. For consortium builders in aviation or advanced manufacturing, they offer specialist depth without the complexity of engaging a major OEM directly.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ARIAS
  A 5-year deep-dive into aeromechanical solutions (flutter, forced response, aeroelasticity) — their longest and most technically focused project.
• InterQ
  Marks their strategic expansion beyond engines into digital twins, AI, and zero-defect manufacturing — a significant diversification from their core aerospace work.
