Industry holds its first session to bring the IRIS hub closer to Navarra’s business community
As part of its objective to bring the IRIS Navarra Digital Innovation Hub closer to the business ecosystem of Navarra, the Department of Industry and Ecological and Business Digital Transition held a session this morning with companies from different sectors.
In his welcome remarks, Councillor Mikel Irujo stressed that “bringing the Digital Innovation Hub closer to large companies, SMEs, cooperatives, Social Economy entities and public actors is essential. All stakeholders must pull in the same direction in this transformation process. It is time to strengthen the capabilities of our industrial ecosystem and develop emerging sectors. The Hub, as a digital one‑stop shop, is the meeting point to make this happen and to continue growing as we have so far.”
He also emphasised the importance of making the Hub known to society as a whole: “we have the responsibility to become ambassadors of the Hub and talk about all the possibilities it offers as a reference centre and an operations base from which to support and advise companies, professionals and society in general in their innovation and digital transformation projects.”
At the event, the participating companies—Ingeteam, Jata, Volkswagen, Saygom, GH Cranes, Azkoyen, Nedgia, IED, Aldaki, Largoiko, Biosasun—had the opportunity to learn about the Navarra R&D&I System (SINAI) from Diego Garrido, Director of ADItech. Together with Ion Arrizabalaga, Coordinator of the IRIS Navarra Innovation Hub, and Garbiñe Basterra, Director General of Energy Transition, Digital, Business R&D&I and Entrepreneurship, they were introduced to the equipment of the Hub’s different laboratories: the AI Laboratory, the Virtual Production Laboratory and the training room. The Genomic Sequencing, Molecular Biology and Synthetic Biology Laboratory was presented by Gonzalo R. Ordoñez, Director of Personalised Medicine and Laboratories at Nasertic.
For his part, Ernesto Ruiz de Galarreta, Director of Information Technologies and Digitalisation at NASERTIC, presented all the services of the IRIS Innovation Hub’s AI Laboratory. The AI Lab has a physical component, where users can access six on‑site workstations with state‑of‑the‑art equipment for AI development, 3D imaging or audio. It also has a virtual component in which, through different service models, users can request the configuration of an ad hoc professional AI computing environment for their own developments and training, enabling secure remote access from any location.
