IMH mention (Page no 268):

Training is a fundamental aspect of the competitiveness of Basque companies in the machine tool sector. The IMH (Machine Tool Institute) plays an important role. AFM chairs the institute board, and public institutions, manufacturing and user companies, trade unions, etc., also participate. The IMH promotes technological training and the dissemination of technological knowledge. In the beginning it focused its activities exclusively in the Basque Country, but other Spanish autonomous communities have gradually shown interest in its services and training programmes. For the last few years technicians from South East Asia have been welcomed by the Institute and projects are carried out in collaboration with Latin American countries. Thanks to its technical training courses for the metal and mechanics industries, the IMH is today a frontrunner in the professional training network in the Basque Country.
