Sectoral Hub Spain

In Spain, five of the Sectoral Hubs are led by a consortium of centres of excellence in technology (AI4ES), offering comprehensive geographical coverage across the country. The Public Sector Hubs is coordinated by the BSC.

AI4ES brings together not-for-profit technology centres committed to developing advanced solutions for industry and society through technology and knowledge. United by a strong commitment to autonomy, neutrality, collaboration and technological excellence, these centres have a proven track record in research, development and technology transfer, particularly in AI and data technologies across priority sectors. They also have extensive experience fostering national and international innovation ecosystems, including European Digital Innovation Hubs (eDIHs), and maintain strong connections with sectoral business clusters, incubators, technology platforms, research networks and innovation hubs to identify business needs and support companies in adopting and leveraging innovative technologies.

The Hubs activities involve connecting and engaging with actors across the sector to identify key challenges and co-create high-impact AI solutions. They will also deliver training on governance, data analysis and automatic learning, as well as AI implementation in real use cases, and hold events including workshops, demo days and networking opportunities.
