On Wednesday, December 17, the 6th Social Economy Companies Meeting was held at TecnoCampus, dedicated to the present and future challenges of the social economy in strategic and responsible public procurement. The event is an initiative of the TecnoCampus Chair of Social Economy and the Mataró City Council, with the support of the Barcelona Provincial Council.

Miguel Guillén, coordinator of the Chair, was in charge of opening the meeting, highlighting the role that social economy entities can play in strategic and responsible public procurement. In this sense, he recalled that the Chair is part, together with Facto Cooperativa, L'Escamot and the Ariadna Youth Association, of the Center for Studies for the Promotion of Strategic and Responsible Procurement of Catalonia (CEICERC), and that during its first year of life, different activities have been developed to promote strategic and responsible procurement in public administration, with training, courses and advice. 

Then it was the turn of Sergi Morales, Second Deputy Mayor and Councilor for Employment and Business and Social Economy of the Mataró City Council, who pointed out the need to improve awareness on the part of the local administration towards strategic and responsible contracting, and highlighted the role of the Network of Municipalities for the Social and Solidarity Economy (XMESS). He also explained that it is necessary for social economy entities and the administration to go hand in hand when generating a market, because it is necessary to increase the turnover of this type of company. Sergi Morales recalled that during the year 2026 Mataró will be the Spanish capital of the social economy, a very important and exciting challenge that will represent an opportunity for entities in the territory and for the city.

Then, the territorial actions that have been developed during the last year by the aforementioned CEICERC were presented. Representing this center, Albert Papell and Laura Martínez spoke, reviewing the different activities that have taken place in various parts of the Catalan territory during the last months. Papell insisted on the need to increase the weight of the social economy in public procurement, since we are talking about a large market of around 9.000 million euros per year in Catalonia. For her part, Laura Martínez referred to actions such as the presentation of the Analysis of public procurement in Catalonia and its impact on the social economy, the four intercooperation days that have been organized, in addition to two courses around this topic. 

On behalf of the Mataró City Council, the social economy technician Sílvia Lizana referred to different public policies that the municipal administration has been developing in recent years, such as the contract reserved for the management of the Cafè Nou, which is managed by the Maresme Foundation, or the different training and development actions of the social economy. 

A round table discussion was then held with the main participation of Eva Noguera, founder and director of ESMediacio, Gestió Integral de Conflictes, an entity dedicated to the management of coexistence and conflicts, providing society and different communities with strategies and tools to improve relationships and coexistence through social and community intervention. Noguera explained the specific case of her entity when participating in public tenders over the past few years, and referred to specific cases of everyday difficulties that companies encounter when participating in administrative tenders. She insisted on the need to be able to identify difficulties and share them, and also on the opportunity that intercooperation and alliance between entities represent, particularly when bidding.

One of the central points of the visit was the presentation and validation of SleepScan - a monitoring solution proposed by the company - at two reference centers: Hospital del Mar and Hospital Mútua de Terrassa. 

In these sessions, professionals from the ICU and anesthesiology areas were able to learn first-hand about the technology and provide clinical assessments for its future implementation. The agenda also included meetings with key players in the Catalan health innovation ecosystem, such as Biocat – BioRegion of Catalonia, BCNMedicare and CRB Health Tech SGEIC. 

These meetings have allowed for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms for supporting international startups, market entry routes and specialized financing programs. The delegation has also participated in a working session at CareCityLab, the urban health living lab of the TecnoCampus. In parallel, a meeting has been held with Pierre Couturier, representative of Neoloji Technopole, within the framework of the softlanding agreement that facilitates the landing of international projects in the territory. 

This immersion has generated significant results: Somno Engineering is evaluating the opening of a subsidiary in Catalonia from 2026, which reinforces the position of TecnoCampus as a gateway for talent and technology to the Catalan innovation system.

The trip, organized by the Opportunities Office of Mataró City Council with the support of the Barcelona Provincial Council, aimed to learn about European projects linked to health and the care economy, seek strategic alliances and strengthen the international positioning of the city and its innovation ecosystem. 

The delegation, led by the councilor for Inclusive and Healthy City, Laura Seijo and the city council's technical team (Alejandra Lara, Júlia Sánchez and Lídia Nadal), also had the participation of some of the member entities of the Mataró Cuida – Carecitylab space, including TecnoCampus, with the participation of Yolanda Fernández, head of business growth in the transfer, innovation and business department; Carles Fradera, territorial manager of Eurecat; David Verde, coordinator of the Innovation Agency of the Jordi Gol i Gurina University Institute Foundation for Research in Primary Health Care; and Alfred Batet, general director of the Hospital Foundation, in addition to several technicians from the City Council. Bringing European experiences closer to the Mataró Cuida space model - CareCityLab During the construction and design process of the future Mataró Cuida–CareCityLab space, central node of the “Mataró, Caring City” strategy, the municipality was inspired by several European references in the field of social and health care. The mission has now allowed us to visit some of these innovative models in situ. 

Among the institutions visited are: the LivingLab In4Care, the Health Campus Limburg DC (Diepenbeek), the Innovation Playground (Ghent), the LiCalab (Geel), the Provincial Health Technology Cluster of Flanders or the Center of Expertise in Care and Wellbeing of the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences. These spaces, which combine applied research, innovation and collaboration between public and private agents, have been a source of inspiration for the partners of the Espai Mataró Cuida - CareCityLab, and the visit strengthens the link with innovation centers with a long history of creating an impact on the quality of life and care for people.

This action, officially called the European Network to Advance the Development and Implementation of Vocal Biomarkers (COST Action CA24128), brings together an extensive international network of specialists to address the main technical, ethical, clinical and regulatory challenges that currently hinder the incorporation of this technology into healthcare practice. 

Vocal biomarkers are characteristics of the voice—or other respiratory sounds such as coughing or breathing—that can be linked to medical conditions. Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence and signal processing, these biomarkers have the potential to transform the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of a wide range of diseases, including neurological disorders, respiratory problems, mental health disorders, and systemic diseases. 

Despite this potential, the field still faces significant challenges: lack of standards, difficulties in obtaining quality data, privacy and data protection challenges, and limited clinical validation. For this reason, eVoiceNet has been created with the aim of building a solid European framework that promotes multidisciplinary collaboration, knowledge generation, data availability and harmonization of good practices in this area.

El Special Industry Award is an initiative that arises from several member companies of the Audiovisual Cluster, and whose aim is to contribute, through its services, to the conclusion of a non-fiction work. Matrescencia had been selected in the University-Industry Audiovisual Pitching, the main event of the Talent Week. 

For two days, projects from subjects, final year and master's theses from Catalan and state university centers are shown before a table formed by professionals from the sector in the categories of fiction, non-fiction, entertainment, video games and new technologies and immersive experiences. 

In this edition, up to five projects from the Degree in Audiovisual Media and the Degree in Video Game Design and Production were selected to participate in this competition organized by the Audiovisual Cluster of Catalonia.

Based on the Asturian case, the paper analyses the political economy of Francoist industrial development and its long-term territorial influence. More specifically, the article makes a relevant contribution to the debates on the origin of clusters and, in particular, on the role —direct or indirect— of public policies in the early stages of the formation of industrial ecosystems. Specifically, the article analyses the relations between the State and the regional business fabric in the period 1939–1985, with special attention to the trajectory of the metalworking sector linked to the steel industry. 

The results suggest that Asturias presented favorable conditions for the formation of a cluster since the end of the 18th century. However, the decisive trigger was the creation of Ensidesa in 1950, which generated self-reinforcing dynamics and indirect externalities capable of boosting the growth of the local metalworking fabric. The article concludes that this process was not part of the Francoist industrial agenda, which prioritized strategic basic industries and systematically ignored demands for direct support for companies in the metalworking sector. 

These decisions ended up weighing down the region's position in the face of industrial reconversion, as well as conditioning its productive and institutional capacities when it comes to joining the reindustrialization of Europe. The full version of the article is available in EarlyView format from December 1, 2025. Enterprise & Society is one of the leading journals in business history worldwide, considered among the top five in this field and the reference publication of the Business History Conference. In 2024 it was ranked Q1 in the JCR and SJR indexes.

Interview on the podcast "It all started yesterday"

Antuña has been interviewed on the informative podcast of the Spanish Association of Economic History, in which he explains how the Asturian industrial fabric was formed, evolved and transformed around the metalworking sector over almost eight decades. You can listen to here.

TecnoCampus has signed an agreement for the equipment and use of the Gastronomic Laboratory with the German company Rational, dedicated to the manufacture and innovation of equipment for professional kitchens and a leader in the culinary technology market.

For its part, the company Rational will demonstrate its equipment to different professionals in the hospitality industry within the Gastronomic Laboratory. Likewise, Rational will carry out training sessions on dietetics and nutrition and on the use of this technology to students of the Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. This agreement between Tecnocampus and the company Rational will allow for the promotion of collaboration between the academic and business worlds as well as offering better quality training to students and better equipment in the Gastronomic Laboratory.

TecnoCampus has been the headquarters of the BIP (Blended Intensive Program) course in applied cybersecurity, promoted jointly with The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) and the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences (THB).

During the week, participants demonstrated a high level of technical expertise, overcoming complex challenges related to operating systems, networks and cryptography. The quality of the tests, which included advanced simulations designed by professors from The Hague and a final challenge created by the i2CAT research center with the financial support of INCIBE, within the framework of the CARISMATICA cybersecurity chair, is noteworthy. 

The week has combined this intense academic work with social and cultural activities, fostering cohesion among students. Beyond academic success, the event has been key to strengthening institutional relationships. 

During these days, the official announcement was made signing of a strategic agreement between TecnoCampus and the University of Brandenburg, a decisive step that opens new avenues for academic collaboration and joint research.

The next edition will be held at the facilities of the University of Brandenburg next year, while the following year the host will be the University of The Hague, thus consolidating a solid and future-oriented European educational alliance in the field of applied cybersecurity.

In this edition, the presentations had the participation of external evaluators: Albert Domingo, CEO of NexTret and business angel with investment in tourism sector projects, and Anahí Moyano, head of Entrepreneurship at TecnoCampus. The session reflects the commitment of TecnoCampus as a professionalizing university center, bringing students closer to the business fabric and offering them the opportunity to compare their projects with experts in the sector. 

Both students and guests rated the experience very positively, and it is planned to continue promoting the participation of external agents in future teaching activities.

Both institutions share a strong commitment to application-oriented and competency-based education, as well as internationalization. Their academic strengths align in key disciplines such as business, management and entrepreneurship, computer science, media, audiovisual, video games, as well as engineering and health/medicine—fields that play a critical role in preparing graduates for an ever-changing professional world. 

In recent years, the collaboration between the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences and TecnoCampus has already produced a variety of impactful initiatives. Beyond regular student exchanges, they have worked closely on teaching and project-based learning formats. One such format is the International Media Camp, taught jointly by Professor Stefan Kim, Professor Francisco José Pinel Cabello, Luca Saavedra Todd and Professor Marco Antonio Rodríguez. “By bringing together students from both universities to work in interdisciplinary groups, the International Media Camp encourages them to express the cultural characteristics of the two partner regions through media techniques. In this way, students also learn from each other and develop an understanding of the respective cultures of their home regions,” says Professor Stefan Kim. 

Expansion of cooperation: teaching, research and institutional development 

With the new strategic partnership agreement, both institutions are committed to further deepening their cooperation. Plans include: expanding virtual and hybrid mobility, exploring joint research opportunities (especially in areas where academic strengths align), as well as offering professional development and exchange opportunities for students, faculty, and staff. 

The partnership agreement is a solid framework that will help streamline administrative processes and allow for the sharing of expertise and institutional innovation, actively supporting knowledge exchange at multiple levels. As a result, both institutions aspire to foster the emergence of synergies and new solutions that address the shared regional and global challenges of tomorrow's world. 

Josep Lluís Checa López, general director of TecnoCampus, and Professor Vera Meister, vice president for Teaching and International Affairs at the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences, underline the importance of the strategic partnership for both universities: “Joining this strategic partnership is a big step forward on our path to grow internationally. Working with TecnoCampus has already shown how much students and teachers can gain when we create and innovate together. With this agreement, we redouble our promise to build vibrant and future-ready spaces for learning, research and development,” says Professor Vera Meister. Josep Lluís Checa López adds: “The focus on applied sciences makes TecnoCampus a unique university center in Catalonia, with a strong commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation in all the degrees it offers. The alliance with the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences is a great opportunity in one of the key pillars of our 2027 Strategic Plan: internationalization. We are excited to share projects and methods in higher education, as well as to promote exchanges between our students.” 

Professor Martin Wrobel, professor at the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences and visiting professor at TecnoCampus, highlights the potential of the strategic partnership to reach far beyond the two campuses: “Both the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences and the TecnoCampus are located in regions closely connected to leading startup hubs such as Berlin and Barcelona. This partnership strengthens our shared focus on innovation and entrepreneurship and opens up new opportunities for our students.” 

International Cybersecurity Week

The partnership was signed yesterday at TecnoCampus, coinciding with the International Cybersecurity Week, which is jointly run by both institutions. After ten weeks of online seminars on applied cybersecurity, participating students meet in person in Mataró to compete in a five-day cybersecurity challenge. The challenge is designed to develop and test students' skills and to work with a new team under pressure. 

Professor Michael Pilgermann, from the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences, and Professor Pere Tuset Peiró, from TecnoCampus, who led the joint teaching project, highlighted the impact of these formats: “Bringing together students from different countries and disciplines—both virtually and in person—enriches their learning experiences in a profound way. This collaboration not only fosters new perspectives but also cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, empowering students to tackle real-world challenges with confidence and creativity.” 

Through a review of the academic literature, the article examines how unions became involved in worker-led business recovery, specifically in the cases of Spain and Argentina. The study situates these dynamics in labor movements, workers' ownership, and self-management as alternatives to traditional labor relations. In the Spanish case, special attention is paid to the case of labor societies, while in the Argentine case, the so-called "recovered companies" are addressed. 

The paper argues that Spain's structured collaboration contrasts with Argentina's grassroots resilience, and concludes that unions can play a crucial catalytic role if they adopt the principles of self-management, strengthen cooperative alliances, and foster new institutional frameworks that link work, social economy, and democratic ownership. 

The article has been published in number 115 of the Revista d'Economia Pública, Social i Cooperativa CIRIEC, of ​​November 2025, a monograph entitled "The participation of people trabajadoras en la empresa", coordinated by Isabel-Gemma Fajardo, full professor of Mercantile Law at the University of Valencia. The journal is internationally recognized as one of the best specialized journals in the field of social economy and is indexed in Clarivate's WOS system (JCR journal positioned in Q3). It is also positioned in the Q1/Q2 quartiles of SJR scimago, Citescores and the Fecyt economy ranking.

El CADESC aims to provide applied scientific knowledge to strategic decision-making and the design and implementation of public policies. This purpose is specified in four main objectives: generation of applied knowledge, foresight and innovation, development of the business fabric, and articulation of collaboration networks. Its president will be Juanjo Llopis, general director of the Caixa Enginyers Group

According to Eloi Serrano, director of CADESC and the Chair of Social Economy at TecnoCampus, "CADESC tries to promote the social economy, providing knowledge that guides public policies to strengthen the fabric and value the business model of the social economy. The history of the Chair and the consolidated collaboration with the promoters of the think tank represent a very solid basis for the launch of the initiative, a pioneer in Spain." 

In a context defined by the challenges of the green transition, digitalization, financialization and global geopolitical tensions, the creation of CADESC responds to the need to strengthen the role of the social economy in achieving inclusive and sustainable economic development, providing companies and entities in the sector with greater analytical capacity and influence on the economic and political agenda. Consolidation of the TecnoCampus Social Economy ecosystem 

The launch of CADESC is part of the TecnoCampus Chair in Social Economy, which this year celebrates 10 years of experience, reinforcing the university center's commitment to research and the promotion of this business model.
