In addition to the University of Vigo, three entities are the promoters of this master's degree:

• • Stellantis, through its center in Vigo, one of the main Stellantis production plants and one of the basic pillars of the Galician economy.
• • The Galician Automotive Technology Center (CTAG), one of the most modern R+D+I centers in Europe, offers advanced technological solutions to the automotive sector.
• • The Galician Automotive Companies Cluster (CEAGA). After more than ten years of experience, it has become a reference Cluster in Spain and Europe.

An important part of the teaching staff of the master's degree are professionals from these organizations, who, in addition to their human resources, make their facilities available to the master's degree for training activities.
