Aragón has taken a step forward at the intersection of science and industry by participating in the international fair Science for Industry. This event, which serves as a platform for innovation and technology transfer, has provided the perfect setting for the Aragonese delegation, led by Pilar Gayán, General Director of Science and Research, to present a varied portfolio of technological prototypes.
A bridge between science and industry
Science for Industry has established itself as an essential forum for creating strategic alliances and collaborations between science and the productive fabric. According to Pilar Gayán, the connection between these sectors is crucial for translating scientific advancements into market applications. This approach seeks not only to promote investment but also to ensure that innovations have a tangible impact on society.
Technological innovations from Aragón
In the field of logistics and sensing technology, the Technological Institute of Aragón (ITA) stood out with Kajal®, a platform that uses predictive algorithms to optimize logistics and transportation. Additionally, they presented the Sensory Table, designed to quantify emotional responses.
Meanwhile, the CIRCE Technological Center introduced developments in artificial intelligence and digitalization, including a smart traffic light and tools like Speechcoach and ViñaAI, which optimize communication and water usage in vineyards, respectively.
In industrial robotics, Aitiip Technological Center presented ROBOMIMIC, a platform that allows users to program robots using intuitive gestures, facilitating interaction without the need for programming knowledge.
Proposals in renewable energy and health
The Hydrogen Foundation of Aragón showcased innovations in hydrogen technologies, such as H2XR, which uses augmented reality for training in electrolysis, and the Mini Genset H2YPE, a portable generator based on hydrogen fuel cells. Additionally, the Institute of Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis presented an organic liquid carrier for safe hydrogen storage.
In the sector of safety and medical devices, Signos IoT introduced SiChock, a solution to enhance safety at loading docks, while Peryton Medical Solutions presented Embrace, a medical device for treating musculoskeletal injuries.
Finally, the Institute of Research in Engineering of Aragón (I3A) and the IIS Aragón Foundation, in collaboration with Capillary.io, excelled in health engineering and research with advanced diagnostic systems and artificial intelligence platforms for detecting microvascular damage.
Aragón’s participation in Science for Industry underscores not only the diversity and maturity of its R&D ecosystem but also its ability to transform scientific knowledge into solutions with a significant impact on the economy and society.
