Presentation of IOTEC and IoT Digital Innovation Hub at the Internet of Things Conference

This afternoon I’ve had a very intense meeting with my colleagues at the Chamber of Commerce of Salamanca where we talked about the Internet of Things(IoT).

We started the conference by talking about the IOTEC project that we are all feeling very positive about. And certainly, it has been an honour for me to present the IoT Digital Innovation Hub that we are launching with a lot of effort and enthusiasm. A new challenge stands before us but I will talk about this on another occasion because of its current importance for our region’s business fabric, and I am confident that in a short period of time also for the national and international fabric.

Digital transformation and IoT are essential for the competitiveness of our companies in rapidly developing sectors. At today’s conference “Get closer to the Internet of Things”, we have had Luis González (from Aplifisa), Javier Parra (from Súmate) and Esteban Sánchez (from the Béjar School of Industrial Engineering), they contributed to the conference with their knowledge on the impact of IoT on business digitalisation.

I would like to thank all those who attended the event for their interest.
