In the interview, conducted by the UPC Technology Center, CIT UPC, Rub\u00e9n Bonet, Co-Founder &amp; Executive Chairman at Fractus, reflects on the relationship between business and academia, the skills required by technology companies and the potential of collaboration to bring together academia, industry and society. The MERIT project has led to the creation of <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalmerit.eu\/masters\/\" target=\"_blank\">five master\u2019s study programmes<\/a>, one of which is taught at the UPC-EPSEM in Manresa, Spain.These programmes aim to connect academia with industry and promote digital transformation and advanced technological skills in Europe, particularly among SMEs.<\/p><br><br><p>In the interview, Rub\u00e9n Bonet highlights that technology companies need engineers, scientists and digital specialists, but also professionals capable of understanding markets, strategy, collaboration and innovation in order to turn knowledge into tangible results. The conversation also addresses some of the main current challenges facing the technology sector, such as the gap between academic training and industry needs, the pace at which universities adapt to constant market changes, and the growing importance of advanced digital skills, including artificial intelligence (AI), data, cybersecurity and transversal skills.<\/p><br><br><p>Founded as a spin-off of the UPC, Fractus is one of the pioneering companies in the development of antenna technology for smartphones, tablets and other wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The company has an intellectual property portfolio covering more than 40 inventions, protected through more than 120 patents and patent applications in the United States, Europe and Asia, and promotes initiatives that bring together academia and business.<\/p><br><br><p>CIT UPC and the MERIT project<\/p><br><br><p>CIT UPC participates in the MERIT project as a consortium partner and contributes to promoting advanced digital skills in Europe, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises.<\/p><br><br><p>As a centre dedicated to the transfer of technology developed at the UPC, CIT UPC acts as a bridge between university research and SMEs. Its role is to identify the technological needs of companies and connect them with the University\u2019s research groups and capabilities, with the aim of providing tailored innovation solutions and supporting digital transformation.<\/p><br><br><p>The MERIT project brings together an international consortium: UPC, the project coordinator through UPC Manresa &#8211; EPSEM, Asoindel, CIT UPC, Digital Innovation Zone EDIH (DIZ), Exacaster, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Riga Technical University (RTU) &#8211; Riga Business School (RBS), Sunrise Tech Park, Tallinn University of Technology (TALTECH) and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH).<\/p><br><br><p>More information about the MERIT project: <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalmerit.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/digitalmerit.eu\/.<\/a> More information about the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub model, <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deeptech-hub-fractus.upc.edu\/en\/news\/what-type-talent-technology-companies-really-need-nowadays-sme-voices?set_language=en\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p><br>Main Text<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br><br><br>  .video {<br><br>    position: relative;<br><br>    width: 100%;<br><br>    padding-bottom: 56.25%;<br><br>    height: 0;<br><br>  }<br><br><br><br>  .video iframe {<br><br>    position: absolute;<br><br>    top: 0;<br><br>    left: 0;<br><br>    width: 100%;<br><br>    height: 100%;<br><br>    border: 0;<br><br>  }<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>  <br><br>  <br><br><br><br><br><h5>You want to know more?<\/h5><br>Contact Button<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>0px<br><br><hr class=\"no_line\" style=\"margin: 0 auto 0px auto\"\/>\n <a class=\"button  button_size_2\" href=\"\"         title=\"\"><span class=\"button_label\">Button<\/span><\/a>\n<hr class=\"no_line\" style=\"margin: 0 auto 0px auto\"\/>\n <a class=\"button  button_size_2\" href=\"\"         title=\"\"><span class=\"button_label\">Button<\/span><\/a>\n<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br><br><h4>Related Projects<\/h4><br>Proyectos Relacionados<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br>grid<br>date<br>DESC<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub model exemplifies how a long-term strategic collaboration between Fractus and the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya &#8211; BarcelonaTech (UPC) can generate impact across the business ecosystem, talent development and technological innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":31452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[940],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticia-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
