We have presented the inventory innovation challenge at the Info Day together with BEAZ
We held the Info Day for the open innovation challenge launched together with BEAZ through the BIOK! platform, a session where we brought together technology companies, startups and ecosystem stakeholders in both in-person and online formats to present the challenge of transforming inventory management at Ormazabal. During the session, we shared the scope of the challenge, focused on evolving from a static and manual model to a dynamic, predictive and automated system capable of improving stock visibility, anticipating risks and optimising costs in an increasingly complex industrial environment. The initiative aims to identify innovative solutions to reduce tied-up capital, minimise obsolescence and strengthen supply chain resilience, reinforcing our commitment to digitalisation and the application of advanced technologies in key operational processes.

We hosted the Innovamos 2026 Trade Mission, organised by the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Chile, in a session focused on the exchange of experiences and the creation of collaboration opportunities around the digitalisation of critical sectors such as energy, telecommunications and security. During the visit, we delivered an overview of our activity and guided the delegation—comprising institutional representatives and senior executives from companies in Chile and Spain—through our facilities, concluding the session with a networking space that helped strengthen relationships and explore potential synergies.
