Artificial Intelligence, sustainability, 30 years of Carinsa, and Awards for Startups, disruptive innovation. This is how October has been for the partners of INDPULS.
At INDPULS, we work to promote innovation with impact and drive a more sustainable and competitive industry through collaboration. Below, we share some of the activities and visits we’ve undertaken during October:
Session with Oleguer Sagarra on the applications of Artificial Intelligence in Industry 4.0.
Dr. Oleguer Sagarra, co-founder and co-CEO of Dribia, lectured INDPULS partners on applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Industry 4.0. He explained in a very didactic manner how AI can help industrial companies optimize their processes and shared some insights on how to identify which of our company’s needs can be addressed through an AI project. You can find more details in the following article on INDPULS’s blog.
The Night of Business and Culture 2023
We celebrated La Nit de l’Empresa i la Cultura 2023, where the Catalunya Cultura Foundation presented the IMPULSA CULTURA and EMPRESA CULTURA awards. It was a genuinely emotional evening where we got to know cultural projects with a high degree of innovation and impact.
Digital Innovation Forum: Building and Scaling a Successful Open Innovation Strategy for SMEs.
We participated in the Digital Innovation Forum, an event held at the IESE Business School campus to build and scale a successful open innovation strategy for SMEs. This event, part of the European project Digital Innovation Hub of Catalonia (DIH4CAT) and coordinated by ACCIÓ, had around 200 attendees involved in digital innovation. The aim is to drive SMEs’ digital transformation by adopting emerging technologies. Through the testimonies of various speakers, we were able to learn about experiences on how to develop a successful open innovation strategy in our companies by collaborating with deep-tech entrepreneurs. One of the speakers was Laia Soler, Innovation Manager at Celsa Group.
080 Reborn, the initiative in collaboration with Girbau LAB to reduce toxic waste.
We attended the second edition of 080 Reborn in collaboration with Girbau LAB. This initiative, which has celebrated its second edition, reinvents itself in content and forms of expression under the motto of minimizing the resources we consume and reducing textile waste. Girbau LAB is the collaborative innovation space of Girbau, a leading industrial laundry and textile treatment solutions company. Girbau LAB has been collaborating with #080Reborn from its inception to drive a sustainable transformation of the textile industry, promote a change in culture in how we consume resources, and highlight its role in textile treatment to extend their lifespan and usability.

We participated in the STEEL TECH Forum in Bilbao, the leading international Southern European event for the steel sector. Xavier Marcet, President of Lead to Change and a strategic partner of INDPULS, concluded the first day of the congress with an inspiring presentation on 21st-century Humanistic Management.
