[#AI] The majority of IT decision-makers see AI as a priority, but projects are still at the thinking stage 👀 Most IT decision-makers see AI as a top priority, offering a competitive advantage. However, only a third of businesses are ready to implement AI projects now, according to a Riverbed study. What's more, despite a strong acceleration in AI adoption, businesses face challenges around data quality and scalability. But the next three years are likely to be a period of rapid expansion as businesses look for practical approaches and solutions to AI. The good news is that, by 2027, 86% of business leaders expect their organisation to be fully ready to implement their AI strategy and plans, although leaders should be more objective about the true state of their IT function's AI readiness.

I am very excited to announce that I have started my second training program at Node Hub by Startups.st Group in my homeland, Galicia. Six months ago, I couldn’t have imagined how much people’s lives can change with these tools. Here you can find the recap from my experience: • Positive Impact: Over 50 projects and 200 hours of mentoring have shown me the power of good guidance, also I always tell them, “I’m learning from you guys”, that’s the most amazing fact about working with so many different industries and projects. • Practical Training: The first training with Madrid in Game Plug and Play Tech Center was something indescriptible, helping to change perceptions and concepts in key areas. As I always tell them any project or company it’s like a dog, you only change have to change the dogs’ collar color. That’s it and that’s all • Educational System, It’s totally obsolete: The current educational system in Spain has deficiencies. We need to adapt it to include knowledge in management, operations, finance, and continuous improvement, even you are not gonna run a project but for me it’s basic stuff to be learn for your future. • Vision and Assistance: Training and mentoring programs are essential for projects to succeed in today’s competitive market, due to the lack of know how in certain areas of a business or project, I see that daily. Small aids can transform lives and projects. They perform the magic; we provide the references and insights to shape their path to success. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue in this fascinating world of training and mentoring. The best is yet to come! Keep dreaming, but dream big, it’s the same effort dreaming big and dreaming small, it’s just a dream!

The DeepTech Spin-off Ecosystem in Spain report is one of the projects I co-led during my last months at Mobile World Capital Barcelona. It was recently completed and published, thanks to the exceptional work of Deloitte, the Observatory, and The Collider teams. This report offers a wealth of data and previously unpublished information on deeptech spin-offs in Spain, and I believe it holds up well in comparison to across Europe. Beyond the official highlights, I’d like to share some additional insights I discovered during the research process:   - In the last 10 years, the increase of investment in deeptech spinoffs is higher than the increase of investment in non-deeptech startups. However, investment in deeptech is only 10% of total investment. - The valorization of the science-based technology and value proposition in early stages is very complicated by the complexity and uncertainty, so it is a barrier to private investment and market support. - 60% of spinoffs were created in the last 10 years, and I think that the explosion of the digital innovation ecosystem and startups has reached the scientific world and has spread to entrepreneurship and the creation of more companies. - The deeptech spinoffs market is global, so local industry is often not able to validate, collaborate or innovate with spinoffs, so spinoffs should target global markets from the start. Industry-science collaboration should be focused globally! - Emerging hubs should specialize in the industry and geographic-economic context where they are located, and thus we see how some regions are successful with the transfer and the number of spinoffs created. - And now a final thought: how are scientists motivated and incentivized to transfer their technology and start a deeptech spinoff company? Maybe the challenge is at the source! 😉

Industry 5.0: tech + humans = exponential business outcomes So happy and proud to see IBBX conquer the top post for industry 5.0 in Madrid @Southsummit Madrid Few years ago I gave a keynote and my second slide headline was: “the industry 4.0 has started to sunset” Why: massive acceleration of several disruptive technologies like IoT, AI and 3D can bring differentiation yet it’s not enough. The symbiotic relationship between humans, technology and environment matters most when it comes to creating long lasting companies. That’s what we believe in.

🚨 The Asociación Española de Startups (Spanish Startups Association) (AES) has lodged a complaint against Microsoft over its anti-competitive and restrictive practices in the #CloudServices market. AES lodged the complaint with Spain's Competition Authority, the CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia), accusing Microsoft of leveraging its market dominance to force the use of its #AzureCloud services and imposing barriers that hinder competition and innovation among Spanish startups. This case highlights another instance of Microsoft’s ongoing use of unfair #SoftwareLicensing practices to coerce customers into using its Azure cloud infrastructure. What's important about this case is that it has been filed by European cloud customers – AES represents over 700 startups. Start-ups are essential to the vibrant digital economy that Europe needs and they should be free to innovate and build their businesses on whichever cloud infrastructure they choose. ⚖ Restrictive licensing terms that make it difficult or economically unsustainable to run essential Microsoft software on non-Microsoft clouds must be rapidly brought to an end. Regulators, whether national or European, have a vital role in forcing dominant software providers to offer fair terms for all customers. 📃 Read the full statement by AES: https://lnkd.in/dwhptKt8

It emphasizes the importance of upholding human rights and democratic principles in the development and deployment of AI technologies. This landmark treaty will serve as a guide for governments, organizations, and individuals in harnessing the power of AI while safeguarding our fundamental values. 🚀 In line with this exciting development, Anthropic, an AI startup, has launched its AI assistant, Claude, in Europe. [2] Claude is a web-based AI assistant that will revolutionize the way we interact with technology. With its advanced capabilities, Claude will assist individuals and organizations in various aspects of their daily lives, making tasks more efficient and seamless. 🔮 Looking ahead, it is clear that AI will continue to shape our society over the next 20 years. While some jobs may change and workers may be replaced by AI in certain industries, it is important to remember that AI is a tool that can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them entirely. By embracing AI responsibly and ethically, we can unlock its full potential to drive innovation, improve productivity, and create new opportunities. 🌱 Let's seize this moment to reflect on the impact of AI on our lives and the importance of ensuring that it aligns with our values and principles. I encourage you to join the conversation and share your thoughts on how AI can be harnessed for the benefit of all. Together, we can shape a future where AI works hand in hand with humanity, empowering us to achieve greater heights. 🔗 #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Ethics #Innovation #FutureOfWork #Technology #DigitalTransformation #CouncilOfEurope #Anthropic #Claude References: [1] Le Conseil de l’Europe adopte le premier traité international sur l’intelligence artificielle: https://lnkd.in/dTcEhpdp [2] Anthropic Launches AI Assistant Claude in Europe: https://lnkd.in/dmVR7wc2 [3] How Artificial Intelligence will shape society over the next 20 years: https://lnkd.in/dRQrzmXV

Yesterday began the science 🔬 week, and to celebrate it we want to share this interview 🎙️ from Cadena Ser with Sergio Capitán, Manager of our center. Interviewed by Jorge Méndez, Sergio was able to explain the more than 20 R&D&I projects that we are currently developing 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬, the scientific advances achieved to date or even the importance of the #QCIRCLE project co-financed by the European Research Executive Agency (REA)   for the creation of a center of technological excellence. 💬Sergio Capitán: “The results show that it has been a wise decision of the ARQUIMEA  group to set up a separate research center and also to do it in Tenerife🏝️.” “The CABILDO DE TENERIFE  and the Gobierno de Canarias  have understood from minute 🕛 one the potential of the QCIRCLE project.” “In the Canary Islands things are being done well, important things are being developed and the fruits are coming and more 🔜 will come, because it is the ideal ecosystem to settle. There are tax advantages, technological advantages, talent,...” 💬Jorge Méndez: “the case of ARQUIMEA is an example that we have to bet on science 🧪. We are not saying 'instead of another model', but 'in addition to'. If we really want to diversify our economy, we have to research 🔎 and develop R&D.” This interview was made possible thanks to Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife  whom we thank 🙏 for their invitation to participate. 🎧You can listen to the full interview here: ⏯️ https://lnkd.in/dJC4mWHW #ARQUIMEA #Research #DisruptingForABetterWorld #SERInnovación
