El Audiovisual Cluster of Catalonia is a value network that integrates two main business segments: Entertainment & Media, on the one hand, and Communication, Advertising and Events on the other. These include a long list of businesses in the areas of production, post-production, audiovisual and technological sets and parks, distribution and exhibition (also VOD platforms and festivals), production services, television and radio and podcast , immersive experiences (VR, AR, XR and holograms), video game, events and integrated systems, technology, and training. All of them make up an interconnected value network.

In the Audiovisual Cluster there are very diverse companies, among them from the technology sector and the TecnoCampus participates as a technology park. For the Degree in Audiovisual Media and the Degree in Design and Production of Videogames, it involves being able to participate and cooperate with the companies in the sector, since most television stations and production companies are part of them and interesting activities are carried out for the students of towards employment.

On 21 June, the TecnoCampus hosted the team in the area of ​​attracting foreign productive investment (FDI), from the Agency for the Competitiveness of Business of the Generalitat de Catalunya (ACCIÓ- Catalonia Trade & Investment ). This meeting was attended by Sergi Morales, Second Deputy Mayor and Councilor for Employment and Business, and Josep Lluis Checa, General Manager of TecnoCampus, as well as the technical team of the area of ​​economic promotion of the City Council of Mataró and the TecnoCampus.

The area of ​​productive foreign investment (FDI) works to attract foreign direct investment to Barcelona and Catalonia, promoting the area as an attractive, innovative and competitive business location. Therefore, the aim of the meeting was to highlight the potential of the city of Mataró as a location for potential international business projects of interest in our territory. During the day, we presented the main strategic lines of economic promotion and territorial specialization that are being promoted from TecnoCampus and Mataró City Council.

The event brought together about fifty people, professionals who were interested and actively involved in the reflection on the impact of technology and digital transformation, on the aging and quality of life of the most vulnerable groups, such as they are the elderly and people with disabilities.

Josep Lluís Checa, general director of the TecnoCampus, inaugurated the day giving way to the participation of the councilor of Social Welfare and Promotion of the Health, Laura Seijo, that presented the project and the entities that conform the “PECT Mataró-Maresme: innovation ecosystem for caring cities ”. In his speech he explained that the PECT project derives from a coordinated strategy between all the participating partners in the field of intelligent specialization in the socio-health field. He offered a brief description of the operations that nourish him, among which is the one coordinated from TecnoCampus by teachers Noemí Serra and Montserrat Girabent (“Impact of physical exercise on the health of the elderly in the Maresme region ”).

The first part of the session ended with a presentation by Maider Azurmendi, head of cooperation and coordinator of the home care area of ​​the Matia Foundation. His speech, "The construction of local care ecosystems: technology and digitalization, a key support for its achievement," provided ideas and reflections on the reformulation of existing models of care for the elderly. As a result of the experience gained in pilot projects carried out in the Basque Country, the speaker highlighted key aspects such as the person-centered care model. From this point of view he provided a vision in which digitization and technology become collaborative network tools, connecting all the elements and agents of care, and which should be able to materialize in devices that are of support for the continuity of these cares. He also stressed the importance of not forgetting that the person is the protagonist and therefore technology must provide tools to promote autonomy and control of one's life.

The round table entitled "Technology to take better care", which was attended by the startups SeniorDomo, represented by Ángel Puertas (Co-Founder), Doole Health, represented by José María Ruíz (Co-Founder) and Oxeen, represented by Toni Alomar (Co-Founder) occupied the second part of the day and was led and moderated by Professor Esther Cabrera. Cabrera, director of the Chair of Aging and Quality of Life, made a previous presentation on the epidemiology of aging and the key factors for healthy aging, after which the speakers were invited to present their solutions technological. In this framework, the round table offered an interesting dialogue between the different startups that discussed, among others, on aspects such as the needs detected that had led to the development of each of the technologies; how they conduct a constant dialogue between developers and users for a continuous improvement of their solutions; as well as other issues related to the ethical aspect related to data storage and the applicability of solutions in other vulnerable groups.

Finally, and as a result of the questions raised throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to participate in the debate to share impressions, doubts and provide reflections on new challenges to be faced from innovation. , research and knowledge transfer.

This is a training course that makes up part of their master's programs. At TecnoCampus, the program has been jointly coordinated by the School of Social and Business Sciences, by professor Roberto Dopeso, and by the Centre of Studies of lifelong learning HUB4T in the training modality known as Study Abroad.

Today, the Internet is the quintessential means in the development of any economic and social activity. That is why companies must not only be present, but must know how to act in this context in economic and strategic terms.

The demand for professional profiles with leadership capabilities to strategically manage this new sector is growing. Knowing the communication tools not only serves the company to sell its products, but also to generate and disseminate the value of the entity, interact with its workers and even as a vehicle to recruit new staff.

The program in Digital Entrepreneurship, which has been carried out between TecnoCampus and Barcelona, ​​aims to work on the keys to successful entrepreneurship in digital environments and at the same time, train professionals to lead the digital transformation of companies with a strategic vision.

Accordingly, the program combines master sessions, professional experiences and visits to companies and entrepreneurial ecosystems in Barcelona, ​​such as Tech Barcelona and the building MediaTIC, at Barcelona City Council, via Barcelona Activa. Digital innovation, Inbound marketing, internet positioning, Business analytics or how to make a successful strategy for social networks, are the main contents of the training sessions, concepts that ICESI students have had to apply in a real case worked on during the week and presented in the last session, held last Friday July 1 at the university.

During the stay they have visited leading companies in the digital field such as Inverted, the first online market for profitable properties to invest in properties such as financial assets and start-ups such as: bambai, simple, flexible, economical and non-permanent alarm service for homes; winhost, comprehensive rental management service for any home to get the best performance; and Apt, the sustainable delivery alternative of Mataró, based on good practices, both for all workers and local businesses involved, as well as for the environment.

The sessions have been complemented by visits to the business park incubators, the TecnoCampus incubator, where there are currently about twenty start-ups, from the three sectors of activity of the university: Health, Technology and Business, and Reimagine Textile, the first textile / fashion incubator in Catalonia with international projection.

Maria Angelica Cruz and Emiliy Gallego, teachers who have accompanied the ICESI students, have pointed out that the purpose of the stay is for students to have an international experience focused on entrepreneurship: “This program has given students entrepreneurial skills applicable in any business sector and territorial area ”.

The collaboration is framed within the Network of Entrepreneurial Universities driven by TecnoCampus and where ICESI plays a relevant role.

The project Yes We Rent! has won the award in the category of fair financing for housing affordability at the European Responsible Housing Awards, which recognise best practices and the most innovations in the area of public housing in Europe.

The awards ceremony took place on June 16 as part of the 3rd International Festival of Social Housing, which has been held in Helsinki since Tuesday. Yes We Rent!, the project that aims to transform the housing rental market in Mataró, competed against an affordable housing project for university graduates in the Polish city of Poznan, a non-profit social housing project in Tuzla ( Bosnia and Herzegovina), and an environmentally friendly public housing project in the neighbourhood of Svartlamon in Trondheim (Norway).

The jury, made up of 15 housing experts from the European Commission, the European Investment Bank and the Tenants' Union, as well as CSR experts from other sectors, valued the innovation of a project that, through a cooperative formula and based on the social economy, wants to provide new solutions to the shortage of affordable rental in the city and offer rents below market price. The European Responsible Housing Awards began in 2014 as an initiative funded by the European Union and focused on corporate social responsibility in the social and affordable housing sector. Mataró competed in this edition against a total of 70 proposals from 20 different countries.

Launched in 2018, one of the main purposes of Yes We Rent! is to transform the housing rental market in Mataró by offering tenants access to affordable housing with social and solidarity values. The project aims to give new life to vacant homes in the city and encourage the citizens of Mataró to have greater access to housing by offering rents below market price. The project is currently enjoying a significant impact in Mataró and has about seventy members and there are already others on the waiting list to access new cooperative rental housing.

The number of owners who have made their flats available to the cooperative has crossed the fifty mark and in most cases the intention is to perpetuate the collaboration with Bloc Cooperatiu beyond the date of the current contracts. Those responsible for the project emphasise that Yes We Rent! wants to address the rules of the rental market to achieve fairer rental conditions between landlords and tenants.

Led by Alexandra Samper and carried out by senior mentors in the video game industry, the project is aimed at women, non-binary and trans people. The program closed with five projects presented at St. Feliu del Llobregat, and an awards ceremony given by Marisol López, director of the Department of Digital Culture of the Generalitat; Nuria Gil, expert in financing and investment; and Sara Borondo, a journalist specializing in the field of video games.

The finalist teams will take part in IndieDevDay, a Barcelona video game fair sponsored by TecnoCampus, which takes place in October.

The closing ceremony of the first pre-incubator for video games with a gender perspective, FemPowerUp-St. Feliu, is an initiative of Sant Feliu City Council, Co-Innova Sant Feliu, and the Totes Som Futur association. Several TecnoCampus students have supported the initiative.

The program director and teacher of the TecnoCampus, Alexandra Samper, highlighted the fulfillment of the objectives of the program, which, in addition to helping the 45 people who have participated to get started, has also helped to contribute to employment or giving visibility to these groups.

TecnoCampus participates in the SSTeMM project, a project funded by the European Commission that aims to improve stress management for nursing students during their internships. For this reason, through a scholarship, two students of the Degree in Nursing of the School of Health Sciences have been selected to attend and participate in the final conference of the project, which was held on Tuesday, July 5 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, Slovenia.

On July 4 and 5, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Maribor hosted a series of meetings of the SSTeMM project, which was attended by members of the consortium that is running the project and by international students. The aim of these meetings was, on the one hand, to have the technical meeting (Transnational Meeting) of July 4, to work on the last action regarding the evaluation and to agree on technical and financial issues for the closure of the project, as well as topics to continue working on in the future.

On the other hand, in the final day of the project (Multiplier Event) of July 5, which was a combination of face-to-face and online, the final results were announced with the participation of the nursing students mentioned and with the presentations of the researchers of the project, the professors of the TecnoCampus Ester Mateo and Carme Rosell.

The documentary, led by teachers Aina Fernández and Maria Soliña, consists of eleven audiovisual pieces, two of which have been completed, which were screened on Friday: one on the closure of factories and the other on migration in Catalonia; the rest are in the assembly phase.

The presentation basically sought to give something back to the women interviewed for their participation, pending the presentation of the entire documentary once finished. After the screening, a round table was held, moderated by Pilar González-Agápito, a member of the Board of Trustees of the TecnoCampus Foundation and collaborator of the project from the beginning, along with some of the workers who appear in the documentary.

The project has obtained the collaboration of the Museum of Mataró, and financial support from the Diputació de Barcelona and the Generalitat de Catalunya (both the Democratic Memorial and the Department of Culture), with a total external funding of 24.000 euros. In addition, the project has made it possible to reflect on oral memory, archives and spaces, reflections that have been transferred to six international conferences in recent years and from which a publication in the magazine Documentación y Ciencias de la Información (DCIN) has emerged, from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (indexed to JCR). 

More information.

The TecnoCampus has inaugurated today a new recording studio equipped with state-of-the-art technology for audio recording and editing in line with current standards in the music industry. The studio, which has meant an investment of €112.000, makes it possible to reconcile the conditions of recording and professional music production with teaching, as it has a control room that incorporates a stand with a capacity for 25 students.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Mataró and President of the TecnoCampus, David Bote. The former director of Catalunya Ràdio and Digital Media of the CCMA also spoke.Saul Gordillo, who gave a talk on innovation and new audiences in the audiovisual sector; the general manager of TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa; and the coordinators of the degree in Audiovisual Media, Jordi Roquer and Rafa Suarez. 

In his speech, Gordillo highlighted the commitment to digital native content, designed for new forms of consumption such as immersive podcasts or videos on platforms like YouTube. "Radio," he stressed, "is also visual, and must use audiovisual materials and social media." Programs such as "The Bunker", "Crimes" or "Adolescents", he concluded, are the fruit of this strategic vision to renew in content and forms of distribution "with the aim of rejuvenating audiences."

The space inaugurated today consists of a recording room with direct view of the control room, as well as video and audio connection with other spaces of the TecnoCampus such as the set or radio studios. With this infrastructure, small and large format recordings can be made, from traditional productions to orchestral recordings. In the technical field, it has a full range of specialised microphones, Neve, Api and Focusrite preamps among others and the Staten Raven control system, which allows you to work with two large touch screens on all your own editing parameters of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

The studio also incorporates a Dolby Atmos monitoring system, a multi-channel audio system, increasingly used in film, video games and music, from which the user has an immersive experience. All these virtues of the space have been verified today, the day of the inauguration, in the musical performance of the group NOUNEE, led by a student of the Degree in Audiovisual Media, April Ndjel.

Tribute to Professor Jou

Coinciding with the inauguration of this space, today was also the discovery of a plaque in honour of the teacher John Joe, who died last year and was one of the main promoters of the creation of the Degree in Audiovisual Media. By agreement of the Board of Trustees of the TecnoCampus Foundation, the SERMAT (audiovisual material loan service) will now be dedicated to Professor Jou. Another teacher, Alfonso Palacios , was in charge of dedicating a few words in memory of Joan Jou as the closing of the event.

The winners were Miquel Soler, as the best university futsal athlete, after winning the Catalan University Championship with the UPF team; Edgar Iglesias, awarded as the best university judo athlete after winning a silver medal in the Catalan University Championship and a bronze medal in the Spanish University Championship. And Noelia Jardo, bronze medalist in the modality of Judo in the Championship of University Spain.

Each course increases the participation of TecnoCampus students in the championships, as well as the number of medalists. A total of 45 students have participated in sports competitions at Pompeu Fabra University in basketball, women's and men's indoor soccer, handball, athletics, judo, karate, swimming and taekwondo. A total of 35 students from the TecnoCampus have been university medalists in Catalonia as a team, and a total of nine students in individual competitions.
