All Regional Ministries of the Xunta de Galicia participate as users and co-designers of the technologies and solutions developed through the different Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) contracts.
The Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN) is the department that manages the initiative and the IGAPE is the body that co-finances several of the Civil UAVs Initiative programs.
