When you have everything and you feel empty, that's when you start to question whether reality goes beyond what we automatically perceive.

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of participating in the III Foro Nómadas Digitales in Málaga, an event organized by El Confidencial at the beautiful Museo Carmen Thyssen. The forum brought together representatives from the Ayuntamiento de Málaga, Junta de Andalucía, and leading companies in the region to explore what makes Málaga such an attractive destination for digital nomads, and the unique challenges that come with this success. A key topic of discussion was how Málaga can strike the right balance between welcoming expats and creating meaningful opportunities for local talent. As the city gains prominence in industries driving technological advancement (both for local consumption and export), this balance is crucial for sustainable growth. The conversations highlighted Málaga’s unique position as a hub for innovation, creativity, and quality of life. But they also underscored the importance of ensuring local talent plays a central role in the city’s continued development. As someone directly involved in launching and expanding businesses here, this is a truly exciting time to be in Málaga. I’m looking forward to seeing how the city continues to attract global talent while empowering its own community. #Malaga #DigitalNomads #Innovation #LocalTalent #GlobalOpportunities #Startups #Technology

20 years ago, the first book about open innovation was published: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology, written by Henry Chesbrough. Today as we face risks and opportunities with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Open Innovation is more relevant than ever. Organizations ought to have a mindset with strong permeable boundaries towards an approach to innovation that runs counter to secrecy or a silo mentality traditional of corporate research labs. Instead, be open to co-create with partners from rich entrepreneurial ecosystems to develop winning strategies, products, business models, and processes to stay abreast of competition. https://lnkd.in/gw93diEC #openinnovation #innovation #R&D #startups #corporateventurecapital #entrepreneurship

What a pivotal day for competition and digital policies in Europe. Teresa Ribera has been appointed Executive Vice-President for a Clean, Just, and Competitive Transition, overseeing competition policy. On the digital front, Henna Virkkunen takes the lead as Executive Vice-President for Tech-Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy. The big question is: What does this mean for future policies? While we await the mission letters, my prediction is a stronger focus on “fair competition” under Ribera’s leadership, given her mandate for a “just” transition, and more robust enforcement in digital markets under Virkkunen, as she leads the charge on “tech-sovereignty.”

Artificial Intelligence is not just a technological breakthrough—it’s an immense responsibility we all share. As we stand on the brink of a new era, it’s clear that we can’t approach this paradigm shift with outdated concepts. We must embrace a systemic, global mindset, working together to unlock AI's true potential for the world. I’m honored to be invited to participate of the MIT AI Conference alongside leaders like Rebeca Eun Young Hwang, Dilawar Syed, Mark Gorenberg, and Pablo Di Si. Together, we’ll address not only the opportunities AI brings but the crucial responsibility it carries for businesses, governments, and society as a whole. It’s in spaces like this that I can see we’re on the right path. The future will require global collaboration, and I’m proud to be part of this ongoing conversation with such visionary minds. https://lnkd.in/gZAQj4ec

The much awaited yearly Spain Ecosystem Report by Dealroom.co Kfund Wayra SpainCap Endeavor Spain GoHub Ventures BBVA Spark Enisa con el emprendimiento innovador There are many insights to discuss about, the most interesting for me are the following: 1. The value of Spanish tech is growing faster than other key ecosystems like France or Germany. We are catching up! 2. There is more than just Madrid and Barcelona as tech hubs. Valencia, Bilbao or Málaga are thriving. 3. If we take out the "lunacy" years of 2021-2022, the investment deployed in Spain follows a positive trend, with +2B invested in 2023. 4. There is still a lot to do, to ensure more female-led projects are funded, only 12% of VC investment since 2019 was made into their startups. 5. The future looks promising, Spain is where France was 5 years ago. If we do things right with support from all stakeholders we can create incredible value in terms of jobs and local wealth. 6. More and more collaboration with international funds is happening, as our local VC firms mature and achieve more relevant size and reach.
