The output of the research centres in Sevillan universities working in tandem with city government, and the numerous local technology companies, have made Seville a leader among Spanish cities in technological [[research and development]]. The ''Parque Científico Tecnológico Cartuja 93'' is a nexus of private and public investment in various fields of research.<ref name="MonclúsFraga2006">{{cite book|author1=Francisco Javier Monclús|author2=Francisco Javier Monclús Fraga|title=Exposiciones internacionales y urbanismo: El proyecto Expo Zaragoza 2008|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2d6KJ2VnfAkC|access-date=6 February 2013|year=2006|publisher=Univ.
