The Second Virtual Human Global Summit (VHGS II), will be held formally in Barcelona on October 23–24, 2025, with an exciting alternative venue in New York City, bringing together international opinion leaders from science, medicine, government, and industry. The VHGS II summit builds on the outcomes of the inaugural VHGS held in 2023, focusing on accelerating adoption and impact.

Virtual Human Twins are rapidly evolving from scientific vision to clinical reality. By integrating dynamic modeling with biological and clinical data, these biomedical digital twins are reshaping how we understand, prevent, and treat disease.

Yet, realizing their full potential requires more than technical progress. It calls for coordinated action across disciplines, patient perspectives, clear regulatory pathways, sustainable infrastructure, and strong societal alignment.

Over two days of dialogue and exchange, participants will explore how to:

• Align research with clinical and industry needs
• Coordinate policy and public-sector action
• Develop shared infrastructure and IP frameworks
• Address ethical and societal dimensions
• Build international cooperation for real-world scale

BCN FinTech X Barcinno #023: Blockchain in Fintech: Real Use Cases.

From weeks to hours: accelerate your data architecture with Microsoft Fabric

Do your data projects take weeks to get off the ground?
Hours of configurations, manual ingests and architectures that are impossible to scale?

Getting data projects started is often slow, complex and difficult to scale. In this Tech Talk, we’ll see how Microsoft Fabric and Fabric Accelerator can transform that process in a matter of hours, simplifying ingestion, standardising processes and ensuring a solid foundation in the cloud.

What you’ll learn in this talk:

• How to deploy the first phase of the medallion architecture in a few hours.
• How to automate ingestion and create the Bronze layer in a guided manner.
• What practices ensure speed, standardisation, and scalability from the outset.
• How to easily scale to Silver and Gold in modern cloud projects.
• Practical resources that you can apply directly to your own projects.

Speaker: Daniel de Saa, Senior Data Engineer, certified in Microsoft Fabric.

AI is already a reality, but consciously adopting it remains a challenge for most organisations.

Seventy per cent of projects fail to generate real impact. This is not due to a lack of technology, but rather to weak strategies, poorly prepared data and processes that people do not adopt.

Our next webinar gets straight to the point: honest, no hype, and designed to help you build AI that delivers real, sustainable value. No spectacular demos that later fade away; we’ll talk about people, business, and technology working in balance.

📅 Date: Tuesday, 7 October 2025
‍⏰ Time: 10:00 – 11:00
‍📍Format: Online (access after registration)
