AI Leaders Bootcamp (Deadline: MAY 15)
Por Cambridge Spark
AI Leaders Bootcamp is a 3-month executive programme by Cambridge Spark for senior leaders who want to turn AI from a topic of discussion into something that delivers results.
It’s designed for C-level executives, heads of innovation, and digital or transformation leads who are already looking at AI but need a clearer way to move from ideas to execution.
The programme runs from June to September in Barcelona, starting on June 18th. It combines a one-day in-person session with a series of live virtual workshops and practical work on a real use case from your own organisation. The structure is simple: first, an immersive session to build a shared understanding of AI and its business impact; then a guided sprint to identify and shape a high-value use case; and finally, the development of a concrete AI Value Blueprint with a clear roadmap and business case.
Sessions are led by faculty and practitioners including Dr. Raoul-Gabriel Urma, Dr. Antonio Weiss, Professor Christos Genakos, Dr. Alexander Carter and Dr. Stella Pachidi, bringing a mix of strategy, economics, ethics and real-world implementation.
It’s around 25 hours in total, with a small group to keep it practical and focused. By the end, you leave with a clear, tailored plan to move an AI initiative forward inside your organisation.
Price is 2,500€ + VAT (early bird -10% + Tech Barcelona partner -10%), with limited seats available and a deadline to apply by May 15th.

BlueTechPort has announced the launch of the Lighthouse International Acceleration Program, a new initiative designed to attract international startups developing solutions in maritime innovation, ports, logistics, and the broader blue economy. Applications open today and will remain open until June 1st, 2026, targeting seed and early-growth startups with global ambition and mature technologies (TRL ≥ 5).
Led by BlueTechPort, the program is supported by the Port of Barcelona and brings in the technical expertise of Mind the Bridge.
Strengthening Barcelona as a global blue economy hub
Barcelona has steadily positioned itself as one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for maritime innovation and the blue economy, driven by a major global port, strong public-private collaboration, leading research institutions, and a growing startup ecosystem. According to the Blue Economy Observatory, the sector generated €11,190.7 million in turnover in Barcelona, representing 5% of the city’s economic activity. It includes high value-added activities with productivity levels more than 20% above the city average.
“Innovation, digitalization, and sustainability are key pillars of the Port of Barcelona’s strategy,” said Emma Cobos, Director of Innovation and Blue Economy Strategy at the Port of Barcelona. “This program reinforces our commitment to becoming a smart, decarbonized, innovation-driven logistics hub, connecting global startups with real challenges and opportunities.”
In this context, BlueTechPort—the Port of Barcelona’s innovation hub for the blue economy, managed by the World Trade Center Barcelona—plays a key role in fostering innovation and enabling connections across the ecosystem.
A real-environment acceleration program for maritime innovation
Starting July 6th, 2026, the 12-week hybrid program will combine in-person activities at BlueTechPort in Barcelona with online sessions, offering access to the Port of Barcelona as a real-world testing environment.
Carles Anglada, CEO of World Trade Center Barcelona, noted:
“BlueTechPort was created with the goal of turning Barcelona into the leading Mediterranean hub for the blue economy. With Lighthouse, we are opening our port as a real-world testbed for startups worldwide ready to shape the future of maritime innovation and sustainable port ecosystems.”
Selected startups will benefit from:
- Personalized mentorship and expert advisory
- Access to pilot and testing opportunities
- Connections with corporates, ports, and investors
- Participation in Smart City Expo World Congress – Tomorrow.Blue Economy (Nov 3–5, 2026)
The 2026 edition will select up to 8 startups across verticals such as:
- Digital ports and automation
- Maritime logistics and mobility
- Maritime infrastructure and resilience
- Port and maritime sustainability
- Ocean and environmental monitoring
- Marine biotechnology
Participation is free, equity-free, and does not require relocation, although office space will be available at BlueTechPort.
Connecting startups, corporates, and global markets
As a business hub located within the port area, BlueTechPort will play a central role in connecting the international business community with the program. Mind the Bridge will contribute its expertise in international acceleration and open innovation.
“Ports are becoming powerful innovation platforms and attractive hubs for international startups and talent,” said Francesca Cavanna, Managing Director Europe at Mind the Bridge. “By connecting startups with the Port of Barcelona and its ecosystem, Lighthouse creates the conditions for real pilots, real partnerships, and real scale—the exact ingredients startups need to grow globally.”
How to apply
Applications are open from April 23rd to June 1st, 2026 (23:59 CET).
The program will run from July to November 2026, culminating at the Smart City Expo World Congress.

How can you unify training for employees and external collaborators without losing impact?
Por Educo
When an organization like Educo decides to evolve its way of teaching, it’s not just looking for a new platform: it’s looking for training that makes sense, is coherent, and reaches both its internal team and external collaborators with the same level of quality across different contexts and territories.
What was the challenge?
Moving from a more traditional, manual model to a digital ecosystem capable of scaling training without losing impact or a sense of closeness.
We’ll be speaking with Celina Tamagnini, Head of Consulting and Services at Educo, to unpack the keys to this transformation:
- What does it really feel like to move from a traditional model to a global, digital one?
- How can you ensure training works equally well for your internal team and external organizations?
- How have programs like PROTEGEmos scaled their reach to multiple organizations without losing pedagogical strength?
- Why is instructional design key to preventing a learning platform from becoming just a content repository?
From Actua, we’ll share how we bring this vision to life through pedagogical strategy, instructional design, and technology, with insights from Carolina González, expert in pedagogical strategy and experience design, and Patricia Campos, specialist in adapting technological solutions such as Totara.
If you manage training for diverse audiences and are looking for a model that combines scalability, consistency, and pedagogical purpose, this conversation will provide practical insights you can apply in your organization.
