The University of A Coruña (UDC) has just recognized Extraco’s commitment and contribution to Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) projects launched by this University.
In December, the entity organized a conference entitled “The UCD and businesses: successes achieved and new opportunities for cooperation”, which took place at the vice-chancellor’s office. Francisco Javier Prego Martínez, on behalf of Extraco, was in charge of collecting one of the recognition diplomas given by the University to different corporate partners.
