APPENTRA SOLUTIONS
Appentra’s mission is to provide quality software tools that allow for the extensive use of High-Performance Computing (HPC) techniques in all areas of engineering, science and industry. The target clients for Appentra are businesses and organisations that frequently update their computationally intensive applications in aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, biomedical and chemical markets, among others.
The development of HPC applications requires skills and knowledge that go way beyond the techniques, methods and tools used in the fields of engineering, science and the industry. Having skills in parallel programming and HPC techniques is absolutely necessary to be able to fully make the most of the computing power of modern multicore and manycore systems.
Apprentra’s software tools simplify multicore and manycore programming as they reduce the need for knowledge and skills related to parallel programming and HPC techniques, which increases productivity for its customers.
At Appentra, research and development are strategic values and innovation is the driver for providing new HPC software solutions that satisfy the needs and improve the productivity of its clients.

Centro de Estimulación Cerebral de Galicia
In today’s society, where we are faced with multiple and urgent daily requirements in all areas of our lives, health and healthcare take on a special dimension. Illnesses such as depression, anxiety or chronic pain dramatically reduce a person’s quality of life and, in turn, have a devastating impact on the person’s ability to work and socialise.
Our business offers services in the medical field that are related to the use and development of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and protocols to treat very prevalent neuro-psychiatric pathologies for which the usual procedures have not been successful or are not applicable. We also offer advice and consulting services in this field.

Sedaqua - Humigal Sistemas Ecológicos de Depuración de Aguas
In recent years and due to the phenomenon that is climate change, energy saving and efficient and environmentally friendly systems have been promoted.
Sedaqua was born from this context and presents water purification treatments through the use of artificial wetlands for small towns and industries. The idea came as a response to the experiments carried out by the Environmental Chemical Engineering Research Group of the University of A Coruña.

Terravanza, Gabinete de Estudios Territoriales Avanzados
Terravanza is a spin-off that arose from the University of A Coruña.
This team’s idea was to monitor municipal infrastructures in detail and with constant updating through the use of static and dynamic sensors and also to combine the results obtained with different databases, in order to achieve a complete and real-time vision of the infrastructures with the purpose of facilitating management, maintenance and decision-making in the local sphere. In general, within the framework of the services offered, there are two basic types: those in which there is an intensive application of technology, mainly through sensors, with the purpose of collecting wider and more reliable data; and those in which there is less technological application and which are generally not associated with data collection through sensors.
We are dedicated to offering technical advice, auditing and consultancy in the fields of engineering, planning, city planning and the environment, applying innovative solutions.
We also provide related services such as diagnosis, support, maintenance, installation, integration of supply, operation, evaluation, optimisation, administration, management, training, education, dissemination, research, innovation and development, as well as data processing.
Terravanza was recently awarded the status of Technology-Based Employment Initiative by the Xunta de Galicia (Galician Regional Government).

Torus Software Solutions
Torus Software Solutions is a business specialising in ultra-fast communications software solutions and provides application acceleration in performance-critical environments, particularly in the financial, telecommunications and energy fields. Torus is a Technology-Based Company (TBC) and was recognised as such by the University of A Coruña in March 2013. It is partly owned by the UDC, the Barrié Foundation and also by researchers from the Computer Architecture Group at the UDC. The business arose as a result of the research carried out by the developers in the field of high-performance communications, the wide support given by the OTRI at the UDC and the financing received by the Barrié Foundation through the Science Investment Fund; a mechanism created to help the development and commercialisation of technologies generated in Galician universities and research centres.
Torus is firmly committed to R&D and its application in the most competitive sectors as well as the commercial optimisation of disruptive technologies by transforming them into unique products. Torus is committed to the social and economic progress of Galicia and is building bridges between the academic and business spheres, regarding which it collaborates intensively with the OTRI at the University of A Coruña and the CITIC.
