The initiative will be held next Wednesday, July 9, in the Plaza de Lajares and will bring together multidisciplinary teams, mentors and local businesses around real challenges.
The Cabildo of Fuerteventura, through the area of New Technologies of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, directed by the counselor Carmen Alonso, launches the day TecnoFest Fuerteventura, within its programming aimed at technological revitalization.
With an innovative format aimed at connecting local talent, companies and citizens, TecnoFest was created with the aim of reflecting on the importance of technology to address everyday challenges in business and society. It also seeks to generate a space for active collaboration where real solutions applicable in the territory are built.
The event will be held on Wednesday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Plaza de Lajares, in the municipality of La Oliva, and will be open to all those interested in participating as public or as members of the working teams.
During the day, five multidisciplinary teams, made up of people with different profiles and accompanied by a specialized mentor, will work on real problems posed by local businesses and organizations. Each group will have to propose a technological solution to the challenges identified and prepare a presentation to be shared at the end of the event.
“We want technology and digital transformation to be open and accessible processes. With TecnoFest we seek to bring technology closer in a close and participative way, and to demonstrate that anyone, from their experience, can contribute valuable ideas that benefit our economic and social fabric”, highlights the Councilor for New Technologies, Carmen Alonso.
The program will include an inaugural talk entitled ‘Technology to transform’, collaborative workshops and a final space for the presentation of solutions called TecnoExpo, in which each team will publicly present their proposals. The closing of the day will feature a moment of music and networking that will facilitate the connection between participants, mentors and attendees.
TecnoFest Fuerteventura is part of the strategy of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura to promote digitization, practical innovation and development of new skills in the municipalities of the island, especially among small businesses, self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs.
Participation is free of charge and places are limited.
