The Science and Technology park Cantabria is inviting its businesses to a meeting with professionals who live in the northern Spanish region and work remotely. At the Bisalia Living Lab on 18 November in Santander business tasks and potential collaborations will be discussed.
The event starts at 10 am at the Bisalia Co.Lab on the park grounds. According to the organiser, registrations are open until 16 November. Places are limited; acceptance is expected to depend on how well the businesses’ tasks match the available professional profiles.
The technology park is organising the meeting jointly with Cantabria Remota. According to its announcement, businesses can put forward a specific task or need from their operations. Professionals are expected to contribute their experience and knowledge and explore possible solutions with the companies. International professionals who have chosen Cantabria as a place to live and work are also invited.
The park lists digitalisation, artificial intelligence, data, engineering, sustainability and business development among the possible topics. The list does not limit discussions to a single industry. The announcement does not say which tasks will actually be discussed at the meeting.
According to Juan Pérez Torralbo, who is involved in the format on behalf of Cantabria Remota, professionals do not need to have previously attended a Bisalia Café or prepare a presentation of their own. Businesses will present the tasks, and professionals will contribute their ideas.
The planned meeting follows a Bisalia Café held on 28 October. According to the regional government, around 50 people took part in the gathering, including business representatives, remote workers and government representatives. Companies first gave a brief introduction to their activities, followed by three small-group discussion sessions. The conversations were held in Spanish and English.
While the earlier meeting was intended to help people get to know one another, the Bisalia Living Lab is to start from businesses’ specific needs. The organisers want to see whether this could lead to further collaboration. It is not possible to say before the event what contacts or projects may emerge; participation does not guarantee contracts or employment.
