Here's How Cidatum's First International Congress on Economics and Data Science Unfolded

It has been a few weeks since we held the First Cidatum International Conference on Data Science and the Data Economy, and this time has allowed us to confirm something that was already evident during the conference: the data economy is a fundamental pillar for the future of all sectors.

Alfonso Domínguez Simón, Secretary of Finance, Public Governance, Digital Society, and Government Spokesperson for the Government of La Rioja, explains how data will serve as the foundation for such diverse sectors as agriculture, mobility, and the home.

For her part, Eva Sanz, president of the University of La Rioja, highlights the importance of collaboration among government agencies, technology companies, and universities to drive our region's development.

Javier Galiana García, CEO of UNIR—International University of La Rioja, remember that data is a strategic asset that allows you to measure, make informed decisions, and place information at the heart of any organization's strategy.

And Ignacio Gurría de la Torre, our president of La Rioja Digital and Cidatum, points out that multiple technologies converge around data, transforming the way we innovate and create value.

These reflections remain entirely relevant today and underscore the need to continue building a connected ecosystem centered on science and the data economy.
