As part of Innovation and Transformation Week 2026 (SITBCN), a group of executives from Costa Rica’s Gold Museum, the Costa Rican Cancer Society (SOLCA), Ecuador’s National Polytechnic School and Venezuela’s Bancaribe visited Tech Barcelona and held meetings with ACCIÓ, Edu Tech Cluster, Tech Tourism Cluster and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2).

Organized by Estay Consulting, this initiative aims to connect Barcelona and Catalonia’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem with the Latin American ecosystem.

Now in its fourth edition, SITBCN brings together executives and key players from across the Catalan ecosystem throughout the week, fostering knowledge exchange, exploring collaboration opportunities and building new synergies between both regions.

Your team has access to AI. You may even have great prompts. But the purchase order still moves through several spreadsheets, someone copies information into the CRM, and decisions sit waiting in an inbox.

Before adding another assistant, it’s worth looking at the entire workflow:

• What triggers the process?
• Where does the data live, and who can access it?
• Which parts require human judgment?
• What can the system execute, and what needs approval?
• How will we know whether the outcome has improved?

Take a sales proposal, for example. The system gathers the authorized customer context, flags missing information, and drafts a proposal. A person validates the scope, pricing, and terms. Only then is the CRM updated. Every step leaves an audit trail, and someone is accountable for failures.

The real difference comes from connecting tools, data, decisions, and people around a specific workflow. An agent without clear permissions, integration, and human review is still just a demo.

At BRTHLS, we help businesses make that transition: moving from AI experiments to systems they can actually operate and maintain.

Which process in your team still depends on copying, pasting, and chasing people for answers?

If you’d like to explore it, email me at viktor@brthls.com with “Machine Diagnostic” in the subject line and a brief description, without any confidential information. We can have an initial conversation to see whether a deeper diagnostic would be worthwhile.

Filing a patent is a highly valuable tool, whether as a means of protecting against third parties or as an indicator of a company’s level of innovation. But having patents is not the same as having monetizable patents.

A patent portfolio does not acquire commercial potential simply by existing or being registered. Its ability to generate revenue will depend on the roadmap and strategy behind it. The key is to understand the patent as a tool, not as an end in itself. It is an asset that can generate value, either directly or indirectly.

In the following text, we show you everything a patent can generate and the key considerations for building a monetizable patent portfolio.
