This article examines the communications of Spanish companies that have received grants for their Research, Development and Technological Innovation (R&D&I) projects from the Centre for Industrial Technological Development (Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial, CDTI). The companies that received funding in January 2016 are reviewed and an analysis performed of the quantitative and qualitative content of the websites and blogs for the subsequent 2 years has been. We have observed whether the companies communicate their innovations, if so, how, and whether they are complying with their communication obligations. Our conclusions indicate that the communication is insufficient, dispersed and not homogeneous. The regulations should better specify in which section the information should be published and which elements it should consist of, in order to improve transparency. ER -
