In each of our projects, we contribute to making technology democratic and inclusive, interpreting it and putting it at the service of citizens, communities and companies. The numerous internal and external challenges arising from the COVID-19 emergency have not prevented us from keeping our commitment to the community, through initiatives and projects for research, culture and sports, and by promoting social values such as digital inclusion, diversity and the circular economy.

We must also recognize how the pandemic has led us to reflect even more proactively on how Engineering can contribute to the sustainable development of the country, with its projects for people and the environment.
