Where European Technological Sovereignty Is Forged
The process of creating a consortium funded by the European Commission (hereafter, EC) generally starts from a “strategic need or a policy priority” identified either by the Commission itself or by stakeholders responding to emerging needs “in society, technology, or a specific sector.”

Microorganisms: Our Tiny Allies in Environmental Protection
Microorganisms are living organisms, generally unicellular, so small that they can only be observed through a microscope. This vast group encompasses an incredible diversity of life forms, including bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae, protozoa, and viruses, among others.

Ecological Transition: From Challenge to Opportunity
A tree needs 80 years to offset one ton of CO2. And a cement plant generates approximately 400,000 tons of CO2 in a year. There isn’t even enough land in the world to plant that many trees. How are we supposed to eliminate polluting emissions under these circumstances? The first step is to take an optimistic approach: stop talking about a challenge and start talking about an opportunity.

Science also has its square
A square is a wide, open public space nestled within cities and towns. It is the stage for public life, a meeting place and a pathway for the comings and goings of those who live in a town. A square is a refuge for experiences, events, celebrations and performances; it is the cradle of culture. A square is a space, a place, a station, and now, science also has its own square: Bilbo Zientzia Plaza.

Anchors Aweigh! Hoist the Sails! Biscay's Quantum Ship is Ready to Set Sail
Since the presentation of the collaborative Quantum Ecosystem strategy in 2021, the ecosystem has evolved, matured, and consolidated its mechanisms. The ship that was envisioned three years ago is now ready to set sail.

Let’s Cultivate Talent!
Quantum technologies are set to drastically transform fields like computing, cryptography, and medicine. To maximize these opportunities, it is crucial to train and attract talent in this emerging field. In this regard, the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) plays a central role in this process.

Preparing Talent for Quantum Systems Development
We are in the midst of an industrial revolution driven by nanotechnology, biotechnology, genomics, and, of course, quantum technology. In the last one, quantum sensors, communications, networks, and both quantum hardware and software are standing out.

Quantum Mads: The first of a foreseen wave of quantum startups
In just a short time, advances in quantum technologies have captivated scientists. In their laboratories, which today are connected to the most important ones in the world, the professionals have glimpsed the many advantages of computers that calculate in qubits instead of bits, such that they’re already talking about a revolution. Nevertheless, many companies are still unaware of this phenomenon, and hesitate to confidently embrace a technology that they don’t understand, so they certainly don’t see themselves as capable of making it profitable.

If there’s one thing that human beings know how to do, it’s to evolve, to follow crazy ideas until they bear some type of fruit in the form of progress. This is what we call innovation, a term that the Royal Spanish Academy defines as,
“The creation or modification of a product, and its introduction into a market”.

Disabilities: tech's inclusive or exclusive game with neurocomputing
As detailed in another article from BizkaiaTech Magazine (check out the website for an article titled "Neurocomputing Systems in the Metaverse: Present and Future"), neurocomputing is a scientific discipline closely related to artificial intelligence (AI). It is highly likely to be the foundation of the most advanced technological future in history, along with quantum computing, and has promising applications.

Biscaytik: your city hall in just one click
Hi! Let me introduce myself: I’m your town hall. Yes, you heard that right… your town hall, the one you see every time you pass through your town square. And I’m here because today I woke up grateful… maybe because the cold weather is lifting, and lately I’ve been waking up without any fog around me. So, I’ve come to tell you about BiscayTIK. You’re probably wondering what exactly this is. Something related to the province? Something that has to do with information technologies? You’d be right in both cases, but… BiscayTIK is MUCH more than that.

Celebrate the chaos!
According to chaos theory, the fact that you’re reading these lines, here and now, is the result of each and every one of the events that have happened in your life. For example, if you’d decided to lie around for five more minutes in bed today, if you hadn’t chosen that job, if that specific day you hadn’t put on that specific shirt, if at just that moment you’d said “no”.

GOVTECH4ALL: Lantik's role in European innovation
When you hear the words “research” and “innovation,” what do you think of? Lab coats, laboratories, lonely people with computers, geeks (straight A students), and perhaps some Post-it notes because of the association between innovation and ideas. Maybe… but we think this definition is missing something.

Entrepreneurship or learning
The world has changed from top to bottom, and almost without us realising it. The force responsible is the Internet, although those more refined call it digitalisation, and the globalisation of the economy, which means more than just using English expressions with a certain frequency.

Neurocomputing Systems in the Metaverse. Present and Future.
The history of Artificial Intelligence cannot be explained without neurocomputing1. The idea for the atomic neural network came out of a study by two Nobel Prize laureates on the squid giant axon, and the differentiable reduction of it marked the birth of Machine Learning systems.

Deconstructing and democratizing: AlfaQuantum and its commitment
“When the universe originated, all the particles were born together, and, therefore, intertwined. Everything that exists in the universe has been formed from those particles, so we are intertwined with everything around us: the trees, people… even with the stars.”

One small quantum step, one giant leap for humanity
More than 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato envisaged the existence of two worlds. On the one hand, the archetypal World of Ideas, accessed through thought and intelligence. On the other, the Sensible or Real World, the one we live in, where the Ideas we had previously discovered could be experienced or perceived.

They say that you don’t realise how important changes are until after they’ve happened. Is this because we still fail to realise the importance and significance of small advances?
