It has completed its stage in the incubator after successfully passing the business model validation phase and market launch, and will continue to develop its activity in office spaces for already consolidated companies. It is a technological startup specialized in the comprehensive management of tourist accommodations, which acts as a digital alternative to traditional real estate companies.

The day included the presentation of the results of the “Women on the Move” study, by IN-MOVE by Railgrup, which provided relevant data and reflections on the presence of women in the sector. This was followed by a round table with the participation of Laia Garriga Mas, Mayte Castillo and Javiera Villarroel Herrera, moderated by Claudia Danesi, where experiences were shared and the challenges of a still masculinized environment were addressed, as well as the opportunities in innovation, digitalization and female leadership. 

The event highlighted the importance of continuing to promote female talent and generate new opportunities within the railway sector.

The TecnoCampus will be the setting for the CISPA Hackathon 2026, an international initiative focused on solving real challenges linked to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. 

During April 11th and 12th, students, researchers and professionals will work in teams to develop innovative solutions in an intensive and collaborative environment. 

This event reinforces the role of TecnoCampus as a space of connection between the academic world, research and business, promoting knowledge transfer and technological innovation. The Hackathon represents a unique opportunity to acquire practical experience, establish international contacts and connect with talent and trends of the future.

The event organizers invite the TecnoCampus community to participate: open registrations.

This is a serial fiction project carried out exclusively by students from different centers that teach studies related to audiovisual and within which the Degree in Audiovisual Media of TecnoCampus is located. 

The project will consist of the production, realization and subsequent dissemination by Betevé of a short form of six chapters, consisting of the adaptation of the work Archimedes' principleThis collaboration joins others already consolidated with Serielizados through the Miniput exhibition, of which TecnoCampus is a sponsor, and which was presented in the TecnoCampus classrooms this academic year.

In more general terms, this new collaboration is integrated into a set of activities that are carried out in the degree subjects throughout the four years of training and that put students in contact with initiatives external to the University.

TecnoCampus participated from March 18 to 22 in the Saló de l'Ensenyament, where the country's main universities meet to advise thousands of visitors on the educational options at this stage. The TecnoCampus university center, affiliated with the Pompeu Fabra University, presented its offer of degrees and double degrees, which have as a common denominator the professionalizing approach, the orientation towards entrepreneurship and the options to study part of the studies abroad. At the inauguration, the rector of the UPF, Laia de Nadal, visited the stand accompanied by the general director of the TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa.

It is worth noting that those responsible for informing visitors were current students of the various degrees studied at TecnoCampus, selected in an open process in which both their academic record and their interpersonal skills were taken into account. The aim is to provide the best information about access to the University and the characteristics of studies at TecnoCampus, which are based on professionalization, internationalization and the promotion of entrepreneurship.

The range of degrees is expanded from the 2026-2027 academic year with a new degree: Artificial Intelligence and Applied Robotics. Framed in the degrees of the field of technology, the degree seeks to train in the key disciplines of AI and social robotics, understanding social robotics as the integration and communication of robots with people, having behaviors, patterns and social norms, trying to improve people's lives. This degree is added to the engineering in mechanics, electronics, industrial organization and computer science, which make up the offer of the TecnoCampus in the technological field.

The other areas in which the campus specializes are the cultural industries (with degrees in Video Games and Audiovisual Media), business (Business Administration, Marketing, Tourism and Logistics) and health (Nursing, Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Physical Activity and Sport Sciences). 

There are a total of twenty degrees and double degrees, which are currently attended by a total of 3.884 students in their various courses (four in the case of degrees, and five in the case of double degrees).

TecnoCampus celebrates the next Saturday April 25th an open day, with specific information sessions for each degree and the addition of sessions throughout the day to receive advice on academic management, access to the University or opportunities to obtain scholarships and funding for studies.

The course, aimed at training in kineanthropometry, has allowed students to acquire skills in the measurement and evaluation of body composition following standardized international protocols. This accreditation, recognized internationally, is a key step for future professionals in nutrition, health and sports. 

The training was given by instructors Jordi Sarola, permanent professor at Tecnocampus, and dietitian-nutritionist Toni Solà, who have trained both the teaching team and the students. In addition, teachers Alicia Costa Izurdiaga and Jordi Sánchez Grau have also obtained ISAK Level 1 accreditation. One of the most relevant aspects is that this certification has been carried out within the Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics itself, and not as a course external to the regulated training, which reinforces the quality and academic value of the center's training program. 

The course combines theoretical and practical modules, with a total of 40 hours of supervised learning: 6 hours of theory, 18 hours of practical training during the course and 16 hours of post-course practice. The main objective is to ensure rigorous training in basic anthropometric measurement techniques. This accreditation is especially aimed at nutritionists and dietitians, personal trainers, fitness trainers, physiotherapists, health professionals, sports doctors and students in the fields of health and sport. 

Among its benefits are international recognition, improved accuracy of body measurements and the possibility of applying this knowledge in the nutritional, sports and clinical fields, as well as access to higher levels of certification (ISAK Level 2 and 3). 

With this initiative, TecnoCampus consolidates its commitment to practical, specialized training aligned with international standards, offering students key tools for their future professional insertion in the field of health and physical performance.

This initiative, promoted within the subject, has been organized by the students of the double degree, who have designed and facilitated different activities designed to encourage participation, cooperation and teamwork. 

The conference took place over two days in the outdoor facilities of TecnoCampus, where participants were able to enjoy an active and motivating environment. The fact that the students of the iTalent program are part of the same university environment reinforces the center's commitment to the real inclusion of the group within the academic community. 

This experience has allowed us to put into practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom, while at the same time promoting values ​​such as respect, empathy and teamwork, consolidating a more inclusive and cohesive University.

This project, with a duration of 36 months and a global budget of €400.000, has as its main objective to strengthen the gender-sensitive competences of health students. To do this, the consortium will work on the definition of a competence framework, the co-design of innovative teaching materials, the creation of a specific assessment tool and the deployment of training and dissemination activities at a European level. 

The initial meeting, coordinated by the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), brought together the rest of the project's partner institutions -TecnoCampus, Autonomous University of Barcelona, ​​Nord University (Norway), University of Primorska (Slovenia) and Hacettepe University (Turkey)- and allowed sharing of objectives, calendars and lines of work, laying the foundations for an international collaboration that is expected to be very fruitful. 

In this context, TecnoCampus plays a prominent role, especially in leading —together with Hacettepe University— the development of the tool to assess gender-sensitive competence in health sciences students. 

This participation reinforces the center's commitment to teaching innovation and more equitable and gender-sensitive health education. The Department of Health's lead researchers in this project are Meritxell Puyané and Gemma Garreta, who bring consolidated expertise in the field of gender and health and a track record in educational innovation projects. 

This is a project with a clear transformative vocation, aimed at training health professionals who are more aware, competent and committed to gender equality in healthcare practice.

TecnoCampus participates in the Catalunya Exporta program, promoted by ACCIÓ, as an internationalization support agent, working continuously with industrial and technological companies that want to grow in international markets. 

The program aims to expand the base of regular exporting companies in Catalonia, providing them with tools, knowledge and specialized support to make the leap to foreign markets with guarantees. Within this framework, TecnoCampus will provide strategic advice and connection with the business and institutional ecosystem, making it easier for companies to structure and professionalize their internationalization process. 

Catalunya Exporta offers specialized sessions and practical workshops in key areas such as international operations management, financing or the organization of the export department. TecnoCampus will actively participate as an accredited agent, offering personalized support for the company's export potential and defining a roadmap. 

The initiative is being implemented in collaboration with the country's main business agents: the General Council of Chambers of Catalonia, Foment del Treball Nacional, Pimec, Secartys, AMEC Positive Industry, Cecot Innovation Foundation, TEXFOR - Confederation of the Textile Industry, FITEX, Metallurgical Center and the Spanish Knitting Group. 

The presentation of the program included the participation of Doole Health, a company housed in the park with a solid international track record, which shared its experience of expansion in global markets. Its case exemplifies the potential of the business fabric linked to the TecnoCampus and the importance of strategic support to consolidate foreign growth. 

Last Thursday, March 12, the TecnoCampus Congress Center hosted the presentation of the book “The entrepreneur's journey”, by Professor Jaume Teodoro. The event was opened by speeches from Joan Mora, representing the Barcelona_Maresme Business Club, and Josep Lluís Checa, general director of TecnoCampus, co-organizers of the event. Journalist Joan Julibert was in charge of leading the presentation, which took the form of an interview-discussion with the author.

During the conversation it was possible know the content of the work, which presents the entrepreneurial process as a journey, inspired by the well-known narrative scheme of the “hero’s journey” developed by anthropologist Joseph Campbell. The journalist also directed part of the conversation towards the role of artificial intelligence, one of the pillars of the work. In the book, Teodoro presents the methodology toolbox, designed to develop entrepreneurial projects with the support of AI, which acts as a cognitive accelerator that helps structure ideas, research and transform them into projects defined in the form of a pitch. 

This topic also allowed reflection on the role of artificial intelligence in today's society, at a time when public debate often revolves around its potential to drive progress or its possible impacts on the world of work. In this sense, Teodoro was optimistic, recognizing that any disruptive technology entails profound changes. As he emphasized, the differential value continues to be the person, who provides criteria, judgment and purpose in a context in which AI can increase results and accelerate work processes. 

For Sant Jordi, Jaume Teodoro will be present at the Llibreria Dykinson stand, located on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona. It is also worth noting that “The Entrepreneur's Journey” will soon have an English version. The professor confirmed that he has recently signed a publishing contract with the publisher Springer Nature, which will publish a new international edition based on an updated version of the work.

With the article, Guillén aims to learn about the characteristics and weight of public procurement of social economy companies by the Balearic regional government in the years between 2018 and 2024. 

First, it refers to the opportunities offered by public procurement legislation when contracting, particularly, with social economy companies; then, the policies for promoting the social economy that have been applied in recent years by the Government of the Balearic Islands are reviewed; while the central part of the article serves to analyze in detail the data on the contracting of social economy companies by this regional administration during the aforementioned period under study, with specific amounts, names of the main companies, contracting percentages, etc. 

The aforementioned article has been published in issue 49 (December 2025) of the aforementioned CIRIEC Legal Journal, which is entitled "Public-private collaboration and strategic public procurement, with special attention to the role of entities in the Social Economy".
