Concept of technological innovation

Technological innovation will be considered to be any activity that results in a technological advance in obtaining new products or production processes or substantial improvements to existing ones. New products or processes are considered to be those whose characteristics or applications are substantially different from those that existed previously, from a technological point of view.

This activity shall include the materialisation of new products or processes in a plan, scheme or design, the creation of a first non-marketable prototype, initial demonstration projects or pilot projects, including those related to animation and video games and textile, footwear, tanning, leather goods, toy, furniture and wood sample books, provided that they cannot be converted or used for industrial applications or for commercial exploitation.
