We have sufficient scientific and technological infrastructure to undertake innovation projects in cooperation with companies of any size and strategic need.
We are located in the Boecillo Technology Park and in the Polígono de la Dehesa de la Villa de Mojados where we have the Road Safety and Infrastructure Laboratory.
In total we have seven buildings which total more than Sqm 23.304 built where the necessary technological equipment and facilities are located to remain at the forefront of research in those areas that we have defined of interest, within the transport and energy sectors.
Our international vocation is materialized in the more than 400 clients for whom we work in 33 countries.
The Foundation Cidaut was born on February 2, 1993 under the name of Cidaut Automotive Research and Development Center, with the aim of covering the needs of companies in the automotive sector and enhancing their competitiveness and industrial development. Later, and taking advantage of the knowledge acquired and the synergies of its application to other areas related to the automotive industry, it diversified its activities by expanding them to the aeronautical, railway, energy and environment sectors and others, thus becoming known as Fundación Cidaut, Research Center and Development in Transportation and Energy. Since January 1, 2000, its legal form is that of a private foundation.
