The strategic aim of the service is to contribute towards the socio-economic transformation of Navarre in a digital, hyper-connected environment.

The centre was born as an initiative of the Regional Government of Navarre and was established as part of the CIBERREG collaborative project, coordinated by the region with the participation of 9 other autonomous communities.

The CIBERREG programme receives funding from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, which forms part of the RETECH programme (Territorial Technology Specialisation Networks)."
