Welcome

It is an honor to extend my warm welcome to the Big Science Industry Forum Spain 2025 (BSIFS2025), an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities that reaffirms Spain's commitment to science and its leadership of our innovative ecosystem at the forefront of the knowledge economy. This forum aims to highlight and promote the extraordinary potential of our unique scientific infrastructures and the talent that drives them.

At a time when global challenges require increasingly complex solutions, the transfer of knowledge and technology becomes an essential lever for transforming scientific and technological advances into impactful applications that generate prosperity and well-being. Within the framework of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the CDTI Innovation (Centre for Innovation in Spain) leads the creation of strong bridges between researchers, companies, and public administrations to boost, maintain, and strengthen the competitiveness of our industries.

We have conceived BSIFS2025 as a vibrant space that will foster the generation of synergies and cross-cutting alliances and promote the participation of Spanish entities in major international scientific projects. The ultimate goal is to advance the challenges posed by the most profound knowledge and science, always from the perspective of generating value for society, for citizens, and for the creation of a better future.

I would like to invite you to become part of the large-scale science community to jointly build new avenues for cooperation and to leverage our talent, the excellence of our research centers and researchers, the strength of our industry, and our capacity to transform science and knowledge into the future.

Minister for Science, Innovation and Universities

CDTI, the Science Technology Platform INDUCIENCIA and the Spanish Science Industry Association INEUSTAR, organize Big Science Industry Forum Spain 2025 (BSIFS2025), the first Spanish Big Science industry forum. The objective of the congress is to strengthen the capabilities of the Big Science industry in Spain and to serve as a showcase to society for our national science industry as a driver for economic growth.

This meeting, which will last two days, aims to foster existing and new connections amongst the entire Spanish Big Science community, made up by the science industry sector, research groups and institutes and national research infrastructures. In addition, the main international and national research infrastructures' procurements and projects for the next few years will be presented and future technological trends will be discussed.

The forum is built around a large networking space, with an exhibition area for companies, a poster area for research groups and institutes and the possibility of arranging one to one meetings with other attendees to build new connections.

Sessions on Day 1 will take place in Spanish and sessions on Day 2 in English.

Representatives of the most relevant international research infrastructures in fundamental physics from the domains of particle physics, astronomy and fusion will participate in the forum, such as CERN, the ITER project and its European agency F4E, or astronomy organizations like ESO. National research infrastructures enclosed in the Map of Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructures will also play a prominent role.

Across the congress, the spotlight will be on Spanish companies and institutions with proven capabilities to collaborate in research infrastructure projects. CDTI and INDUCIENCIA have compiled these capabilities in a web catalogue, which you can download here.

• Because the international Big Science market moves  billions of euros annually.
• Because many cutting-edge technologies have been developed in the context of scientific needs, for example high-performance computing, superconducting magnets, ultra-high vacuum systems, etc.
• Because collaborating with research infrastructures will boost your company to the state of the art of the most innovative technologies.
• Because there are numerous examples of companies whose technological developments in the scientific field has been the trigger for their leap to other markets.
• And because in the forum you will have the opportunity to make your technological capabilities known and build valuable connections.

We hope to see you at BSIFS2025!
