• What actions truly create real and sustainable impact
• A practical, direct session with insights you can apply in your team the very next day.

For those who want to move from intention to action in Women in Tech

Digital mental and behavioral health is one of the fastest-evolving areas in healthtech, but also one of the most complex, least understood, and filled with hidden challenges.

In this session, we will explore innovation in the behavioral health sector, examining what makes this field fundamentally different, the most common myths and mistakes teams encounter, the key lessons learned from building solutions in this space, and where the real opportunities for innovation lie.

This will be a practical and candid conversation designed for founders, product managers, and product teams working in digital health, as well as investors interested in mental and behavioral health innovation.

📌 What makes the behavioral health sector unique
📌 Common myths and mistakes

Quantum computing is beginning to pose a direct challenge for organizations. Many of the technologies currently used to protect communications, identities, access controls, and sensitive data rely on cryptographic models that could become vulnerable in the coming years.

In this session, we will discuss what it really means to prepare for post-quantum security, which risks security teams should already have on their radar, and why the transition involves much more than simply replacing algorithms. Organizations will need to reassess infrastructure, identity systems, authentication mechanisms, and long-term security planning.

We will also explore key concepts such as post-quantum cryptography, crypto agility, phased migration strategies, and the harvest now, decrypt later threat: data collected and stored today that could be decrypted in the future once sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.

🎙️ Speakers

• Jordi Puiggalí, CTO and Co-founder of Secrets Vault
• Borja González del Regueral, Researcher and Professor of Quantum Computing and AI at CUNEF Universidad

🗣️ Moderator

• Ignacio Martín Gallardo, Business Development Manager at TRC

👥 Who Should Attend?
