La Vanguardia offers an informative event to address disruptive innovation and the future of Generation Z.
The innovation of the last decades has led to an exponential acceleration of technological and scientific advances. This I D i has found applications in all fields of activity, drastically transforming social practices and work systems.
This accelerated change had the Boomers as protagonists and promoters, the first generation to move from a purely analog environment to an increasingly technical society. For their part, the Millennials (1980-1994) are the first generation to develop their entire professional career in highly technological environments and link their social interactions to ICTs (Internet, mobile telephony, social networks…).
Both of them are the current protagonists of a race for digital transformation supported by the European commitment that has placed innovation in a broad sense (research, applied science, digital transformation…) at the epicenter of its Recovery Plan, an ambitious program of investment and financing that will help repair the economic and social damage caused by the pandemic.
But these innovations will grow and change the lives of the next generation, popularly known as “Generation Zeta”. The development of artificial intelligence, the hyper-personalization of medicine, the creation and development of new forms of interaction with reality (augmented reality, metaverse…), the multiplication of the uses of robotics…
What will the world be like for these young people to find themselves? Where will this innovation and digital transformation effort take us? How will innovation change our lives and that of future generations? What new economic sectors will emerge or be strengthened? How will the construction sector in particular change? And what about power generation? What tasks will robots do in the coming years? What will the Metaverse be for? What is the economic potential of large-scale 3D printing? What do you think will be the most disruptive innovations of the coming decades? Will innovation contribute to ending gender inequality? What is a Smart City? What will the city of the future look like? How will our leisure change? Will the future be more sustainable? What would you recommend studying for a kid who has just finished the EBAU to lead innovation in the coming decades?
For the occasion, the meeting will feature José Miguel Atienza, director of the UPM’s School of Civil Engineering, Carmen Camuñas, head of ACCIONA’s Digital Hub, David Cuartielles, co-founder of Arduino, and David Lafuente, deputy director of the Injuve.
The conference can be seen on November 24 at 10:00 a.m. through lavanguardia.com.
