Last week we held the “IoT DIH Community Day”, organised by the DIH World project. During the event, different presentations were given about Digital Innovation Hubs and their importance for the digital transformation of companies.

I had the opportunity to present our IoT Digital Innovation Hub, which has been created to develop pioneering projects with the most advanced technologies.

In this regard, the conference featured the participation of specialists and researchers who spoke about the following topics:

Industry 4.0: Main Pillars, by Ricardo S. Alonso, from the IoT Digital Innovation Hub.

The role of IoT DIH in Industry 4.0, by Javier Parra, from the IoT Digital Innovation Hub.

SMARTSEA was also presented by Marta Plaza. An interesting project that is being developed in our DIH environment and that will be key to the implementation of IoT in the maritime sector.

Our aim is to promote new products and services, which have been designed by combining innovative techniques across a number of disciplines. We strive to bring our knowledge and experience accumulated with the development of hundreds of projects, dozens of patents, and use them to boost startups and innovative ideas in our country.
