Critical infrastructures, such as electricity grids, water distribution and supply networks, the public sector, transport or financial systems, underpin the functioning of a modern society. Any attack that compromises their integrity or affects their availability can have serious consequences for public safety, the economy or the environment. In this context, cyber resilience in critical [...]
Understanding what PFAS are and how to eliminate them is one of the main challenges in managing environmental pollution. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemical compounds) are substances with highly resistant fluorocarbon bonds, also known as "forever chemicals" due to their low biodegradability and high persistence in the environment. For decades, they have been widely used [...]
Every day we use water for cooking, showering, washing clothes, or cleaning our homes. These are everyday and essential actions, but we often forget that everything we pour down the drain doesn’t simply disappear. In this way, many substances end up entering the water cycle and, over time, can return to the environment through [...]
The scientific and technological transformation that society is undergoing requires more female talent across all fields of knowledge, from scientific leadership and applied research to technological development and business innovation. This is not only a matter of representation, but of strengthening our capacity to innovate by incorporating a diversity of perspectives that generate more [...]
If we want to build a truly efficient innovation ecosystem, we need to place companies at its centre. Without a more innovative and technologically advanced business fabric, our competitiveness and territorial resilience, and therefore the quality of life of our citizens, will not improve. In this regard, technology transfer is a key challenge in [...]
The Director of Research and Technology at Eurecat, Myriam García-Berro, highlights Eurecat’s technological strength and its vocation to serve industry so that it becomes increasingly resilient and productive, while also driving the creation of new industrial fabric, in an interview in which she reflects on the transformation that Eurecat has embarked upon to continue [...]
Robotics is undergoing a new revolution: robots no longer merely execute commands, but are beginning to perceive, learn and adapt to their environment with intelligence increasingly similar to humans. The combination of advanced sensors and generative artificial intelligence is rising to a new generation of machines capable of collaborating with people, improvising and even [...]
Eighty-five percent of repetitive tasks in industry and logistics could be automated with technology that is already available. However, many companies still rely on manual processes that limit their productivity and ability to adapt. The new generation of industrial robotics integrates collaboration with people and intelligent mobility within industrial plants. Cobots (collaborative robots) are [...]
Eurecat creates a framework for working with companies that “makes it possible to accelerate innovation processes, help with project management and, above all, reduce the risk of projects with a higher level of disruption,” highlights Roger Font, Director of Markets at Eurecat, in this interview, where he discusses Eurecat’s lines of work to innovate [...]
Many small and medium-sized enterprises consider artificial intelligence to be an opportunity to improve their competitiveness, thanks to AI’s ability to automate tasks, personalize products and services, and predict and optimize production cycles, among other capabilities. Despite this promising outlook, the level of adoption of AI-based applications among SMEs remains fairly low. While most [...]
