CARTIF-Centro Tecnológico de Castilla-León, relies on the collaboration and participation of InLOG Consultoría y Soluciones, Devol RPA and Tomec Engineering Consulting for this day that combines technology, learning and economic activity outside the urban environment.

The House of the Arts in the Valladolid municipality of Laguna de Duero will once again be the meeting point for both national and Castilian professionals to reflect and share experiences on what it means to start up productive and technological companies, and how to bring successful models to the non-urban environment. As a novelty, after a first block of round tables where experts will share experiences, a Demo space will allow direct contact with hardware and software technological solutions.

The event will start with a first institutional block with the participation and welcome by Mr. Avelino Álvarez Pérez, Mayor of Laguna de Duero; the Territorial Director of ICE-Institute of Business Competitiveness of the Junta de Castilla y León; and Francisco Javier Olmos, responsible for the Centratec program at the Cartif Foundation. These will be followed by the thematic blocks.

The first panel of experts will address what private companies ask from the administrations when they decide to undertake, which will start with the presentation of the contextualization of the panel by Mr. Avelino Álvarez Pérez, Mayor of Laguna de Duero, and will be moderated by Felipe Rebollo Gómez, Head of Business and Commercial Development at InLOG and ex-CEO and founder of Hydrogen Onsite (2019). The table will be attended by María Rodríguez Manchado, Managing Director of VAMETAL-Asociación Empresarial Metalúrgica de Valladolid; Verónica Alcalde, Director of Decoexsa Castilla-León; Iñigo Sanz, Business Development Director of Iberospec Environmental Technologies and co-founder of the company Nucleo Lomeda (2016); and the Mayor of Laguna de Duero himself, Mr. Avelino Álvarez Pérez.

The second panel of experts, which will include presentations by the participants, will feature Ángel Vélez Marticorena, CEO of InLOG Consultoría y Soluciones and Devol RPA, who will share a reflection on his more than 30 years of experience in the world of EMS technology and Hyperautomation, having participated in the launch and creation of several technology companies. It will also feature presentations by Carlos Recio, CEO of Idrus Soluciones e Innovación, S.L., who will perform a live demo of the integration of his natural language call assistant Jano with an RPA robot; Saúl Blas, from Goblin Computer; Alex Blanquer, KAM of Belden Iberia; and Tomás de la Vega, Manager of Logistop, and moderator of this second panel of the day.

After this first block, there will be a space for networking and coffees where you can interact directly with the different speakers and their companies.

The second block of the day will deal with “Technological opportunities in the automation of logistic processes” and will start with the introductory speech of Javier Olmos, from Cartif, entitled “Enablers in the automation of new processes. Specific case of logistic processes”. The first presentation of the round table will be “Design tools for new automated lines” by Tomás Muñoz, CEO of TOMEC Engineering, a local technology-based company recently created (Start-Up in 2021). This table will include the participation of the companies Agropal, Ubyko and IoThing.

The day will end with the opening of the Demo spaces in which, among others, the company IDRUS Innovation will present its automated customer service system using voice robots in natural language showing live interaction between an RPA robot and Jano (call center in natural language).

IoThing, Tomec, Fran Cano, Belden Iberia, Cartif and Goblin will also participate in this area.
