RED DE INSTITUTOS TECNOLOGICOS DE LA COMUNIDAD VALENCIANA REDIT ASOCIACION

Their core work

REDIT is the network association of technology institutes in Spain's Valencian Community, coordinating regional innovation support services for SMEs. Their core activity in H2020 has been delivering structured innovation management assessments and coaching to small businesses, using frameworks like IMP3rove to diagnose gaps and build improvement plans. They act as an intermediary between technology institutes and SMEs, helping companies enhance their innovation capabilities through diagnostic audits, strategy development, and tailored coaching programs.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In the early period (2015–2018), REDIT focused on structured, tool-based innovation diagnostics using the IMP3rove methodology — assessing SME gaps, running diagnostic audits, and creating coaching plans with specific frameworks. From 2019 onward, their projects shifted toward broader innovation capability enhancement and KAM-style needs management, suggesting a move from standardized assessment tools toward more flexible, company-specific innovation support. The evolution reflects a maturation from diagnostic-first approaches to ongoing innovation capacity building.

REDIT is moving from standardized assessment frameworks toward broader, more flexible SME innovation support services, likely positioning itself as a long-term innovation management partner rather than a one-time diagnostic provider.

How they like to work

REDIT participates exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator, across all four projects. Their consortium network is notably narrow — only 10 unique partners in a single country — suggesting they operate within a tight regional ecosystem rather than building wide European networks. This indicates a reliable, regionally embedded partner that brings local SME access and delivery capacity rather than pan-European reach.

REDIT has worked with 10 unique partners concentrated in a single country, indicating a tightly knit regional network. Their collaborations are clustered around Spanish innovation support ecosystems rather than spanning multiple European countries.

What sets them apart

REDIT's distinct value is its role as a network-of-networks: it coordinates multiple technology institutes across the Valencian Community, giving it broad sectoral reach through its member institutes while maintaining deep regional SME relationships. For consortium builders, this means a single partner that can mobilize expertise across manufacturing, energy, food, and other sectors — plus direct access to a pipeline of Spanish SMEs as end beneficiaries for INNOSUP-type projects.
