The Digital Innovation Hub of Navarra, within the framework of the Digital Europe programme, has been selected by the European Commission to form part of the first network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs).
This incorporation allows IRIS to act as a catalyst for digital transformation by offering its specialized services in Artificial Intelligence, Supercomputing and Personalized Precision Medicine to companies and public entities both at a regional, national and European level.
About us
The IRIS Consortium is chaired by the Government of Navarra, and the most relevant players in the region’s innovation ecosystem participate, including universities, technology and research centers, ICT providers, professional associations, and sectoral business associations and clusters.
Specifically, IRIS EDIH is made up of 23 entities (two of them as affiliated entities), as providers of advanced digitization services of a singular nature and complementary to those commercially available, fully aligned with the European Digital Program, the Digital Navarra 2030 strategy, the Customize Navarra and the S4 regional specialization strategy. These entities are:
Objectives
- Accelerate the Digital Transformation of SMEs in Navarra, as well as increase the industrial competitiveness of the region through digitization.
- Promote the development of the public administrations of Navarra towards a greater degree of digitization, positioning Navarra as the European leader in MPP in 2030 as included in the Digital Strategy 2030 and in the Comprehensive Strategy for Personalized Medicine of Navarra (Personaliza Navarra) .
- Promote a greater knowledge of the technologies that allow an advanced digital society.
- Lead technological progress generating research and innovation of excellence based on digital technologies.

IRIS EDIH services are structured into different categories, adapting to the needs of companies based on their sector and level of digital maturity.
Infrastructures and equipment
IRIS LAB
IRIS Lab is the area designed to connect the supply and demand for regional digitization, under a single window concept. It is currently in the project phase and will be located in the El Sario building of the UPNA. It will have infrastructures, equipment and spaces for experimentation, networking and demonstration (around 1200 m2).
SIESS, Shared System of Scientific Equipment and Infrastructures, was created in 2017 with the support of the Government of Navarra and represents a cooperative initiative aimed at increasing knowledge and promoting the shared use of available scientific infrastructures and equipment among R&D agents. +i from Navarre.
SIESS already has more than 1,200 equipment and infrastructures shared by 12 entities, of which close to 100 are classified and labeled for digital transformation.
Alliances and collaborations
EDIHs combine the benefits of a regional presence with the opportunities available from a pan-European network of more than 200 hubs. Navarra participates in more than 80 initiatives, projects and networks at a European and national level.
