The Foundation

OUR HISTORY

In May 2001, the Valencian Regional Government, in collaboration with Ford Spain, established the Foundation for Development and Innovation of the Valencian Community (FDI). Our initial commitment was to address the training gap in the automotive sector, thereby strengthening the car industry and its suppliers within the Valencian industrial framework.

Today, we have broadened our focus to encompass a wide range of productive sectors and areas of expertise. We have state-of-the-art facilities and a team of highly specialised professionals to deliver the highest standards of training.
