This is an amazing graphic with some truly spectacular statistics showing how far we have come in our energy transition journey in Chile. 20% decrease in CO2 emissions when comparing 2023 to 2022, 50% decrease over the past 10 years. Non-conventional solar and wind renewable generation increasing from 12% to 32% of the energy mix in the last 5 years. By the end of this year, there will be 29 GW of renewables installed in Chile representing an investment of $30 billion over the past 10 years. Chile is leading the way in the energy transition journey, and the next two years should be very interesting with the mass implementation of large scale BESS and load shifting opportunities.

📍 Today, 12 December, Telefónica participated with José María Álvarez-Pallete in the #TechLeadershipForum 2024 in Brussels, as part of the presentation "What can be expected from a new European Digital Deal?", organised by Financial Times in partnership with Connect Europe. During his speech, José María highlighted an alarming fact: only 2% of global patents in artificial intelligence are European. This indicator shows that Europe is lagging behind in the global technology race, a challenge that requires urgent attention. He also stressed that many European start-ups, even those that reach unicorn status, end up moving to the United States. While financial incentives are an important factor, the real problem lies in two major obstacles: over-regulation in Europe and a fragmented market that limits the scalability and innovation of these companies. He acknowledged that Europe is beginning to openly diagnose the impact of its regulatory burden, a situation he described as the "elephant in the room". However, he warned that simple recognition is not enough. A robust regulatory framework is crucial, but it should not sacrifice the agility and competitiveness needed to move forward in emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence. Excessive regulation can slow down innovation, drive away talent and investment, and leave Europe even further behind. The challenge now is to turn this diagnosis into concrete action. José María urged leaders to push for policies that foster innovation without compromising core values, that promote the unification of markets to compete on a global scale, and that develop an ecosystem where European start-ups can thrive without having to leave the continent. He concluded by stressing that Europe has enormous potential and unrivalled talent.

GOOD NEWS: A new €100M public funding opportunity for food companies in Spain is being launched (...apply before it's gone!) 🔥 Over €182M was handed out in the last PERTE Agroalimentario round. These grants helped 286 projects across 224 companies modernize and boost their competitiveness. Now, the government has launched PERTE Agroalimentario II with another €100M up for grabs for food companies in Spain.  But there's a catch - the funds will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis through a simple application process. Here's what you need to know: 🍝 Who can apply? Private companies, cooperatives, and agricultural processing companies carrying out industrial activity in the food sector. 🥩 What can you get funding for? Projects focused on transformation, sustainability, and modernization of your operations. 💰 How much can you receive? Depends on your company's financial health, but a percentage of the total project cost. The key benefits: 📈 Turbocharge competitiveness with modernized facilities/processes  🌳 Adopt more sustainable practices ⚡ Faster access to funds through the streamlined process If you're in the food industry, this is a golden opportunity to level up through government support. But you need to act fast before the funds run out. Leave a comment if you want to find out how Suncom Energy can help you implementing a clean heat solution and save money longer term.

Large hyperscalers are increasingly considering Spain and the growth in transactions (potentially) seems higher than in other markets that appear saturated, both in terms of pricing of land as well as for availability of power, and specifically sourced from renewable facilities. In the meantime the most liquid subsector are small edge facilities up to 20MW. Let’s embrace the opportunity and avoid destruction of this sector. My largest fear is social impact so we must promote awareness across the board, SOON. On the other hand, government regulations will promote fast-track paperwork and green facilities. Let’s see what it comes up to.

Is it a good thing? Ms. Xenia (Maria Eugenia) Beltran Jaunsarás (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain) has led a series of projects for ICT consultancy in strategy, competitiveness, innovation as well as R&D exploitation. With a PhD in Biomedicine, MBA in Health & International Management and Engineering Information Systems, Xenia played a pivotal role in the FAITH project (www.h2020-faith.eu) and a very active role in the ‘Cancer Survivorship – AI for Well Being’ cluster (www.cs-aiw.eu). FAITH is an European research project that is aimed at providing an Artificial Intelligence (#AI) application that remotely identifies depression markers, using Federated Learning, in people that have undergone #cancer treatment. Some of the projects in the cluster make use of devices, such as smartbands (e.g., Fitbits) for biometric data collection. Is it a good thing? Well, as part of our initial video series by members of the #cluster, you have the opportunity to listen to Xenia’s interview, https://lnkd.in/eXEd-Yg3, which was conducted by Deepblue (Italy). Let us know if you agree with what Xenia is saying (replies to [email protected]). www.cs-aiw.eu #cancersurvivor, #mhealth, #ehealth, #smartdevices, #smartbands, #biometrics, #patientcare
