A delegation from the Argentinian Province of Cordoba, led by the Secretary for Industry, Pablo de Chiara, visited our laboratory to learn about the Technological Transfer model that our group is developing. We presented some of our projects to them and told them about our participation in the Digital Innovation Hub.

We have many synergies with the project managers that came to visit and with some of the businesses that participated in the meeting.

I’m sure that we will soon launch a new project with them. I would like to thank the ICE, especially Beatriz Casado, for organizing the visit.
