I had the pleasure of participating as a speaker at the Seminar in Valladolid, organized by the Institute for Business Competitiveness of Castile and Leon (ICE), within the IOTEC project framework of the Interreg Spain-Portugal Program (POCTEP). At the event, we debated on the IoT and Blockchain as business drivers, exchanging ideas and information on these technologies.

We also progressed on the concepts of Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence or automation; technologies that are at the forefront of current, cutting-edge projects. The aim of the seminar was to introduce the SMEs that have not yet become acquainted with new technologies, to the benefits of implementing ICT in their activities.

Moreover, it was an opportunity to present the objectives, advances and future IOTEC projects, Our colleague, Javier Prieto, also talked about the Digital Innovation Hub, in which we want to support local SMEs in their digitalization process, financing, synergies and innovation.
