INDEUS has held its last meeting of the year with the participation of representatives of Spri, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the Basque Government
The Director General of SPRI, Jon Ansoleaga, the Director General of Entrepreneurship, Talent, and Business Competitiveness of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Joseba Mariezkurrena, and the Director of Research and Linguistic Coordination of the Basque Government, Sonia Rodríguez, welcomed the companies that participated this morning in the INDEUS meeting, the platform’s last meeting of the year, which took place at Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao.
After the institutional wellcome, the actions of the Basque Industry Platform over its seven years of existence were reviewed as a reference point for setting the course for the coming years. In the first part of the meeting, group dynamics were used to gather input from participants.
The second part of the meeting focused on presentations on three very different topics:
- Jaione Zubizarreta and Patxi González, from the company Katea Legaia, presented the guide for the Welcome Plan developed by the company, with diversity as its central theme.
- Aitor Soroa, a teacher at the HiTz centre, presented Latxa, the largest linguistic model ever built for the Basque language, and his newly created chatbot in Basque.
- Finally, Ioar Oteiza and Peru Arrasate, from the company Sorland, together with Iñaki San Vicente from the company Orai, presented Markai, a tool they have jointly developed to analyse in real time the image generated in digital media around any brand.
The challenges to be set for next year will emerge from the topics discussed, analysed and debated at today’s meeting.
INDEUS Industriaren Euskal Plataforma is the Basque Industry Platform, set up by SPRI, the Basque Business Development Agency, in collaboration with the Basque Energy Agency, the Vice-Ministry of Language Policy of the Basque Government and the Provincial Councils of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
