Hello

Still on the text about a Spanish company involved with nanotechnology and its applications.

I would like to know how we say this in English.

Here is the context:

...la empresa constructora superó los 71 millones de euros en inversión en I+D+i, un 83% más que un ano antes. Esta elevada cifra le ha permitido aumentar a cien el número de proyectos. XXXXX es la única compania en Espana que cuenta con tres centros tecnológicos de primera línea.

Thank you!

Liz Askew

p.s. sorry for missing accents, seems I am unable to use the symbols menu on this site for some reason.
