INTERVIEW ital asset of that bridge with 25-year design projections to predict its behavior, how it will perform, stand up and age, what it can teach us. Right now, it’s resources, quality and cost that set us apart, but very soon we’ll have to stand out for user experience. That bridge will be the union between two worlds. A highway will be a shared road capable of distributing and protecting traffic, of diagnosing its vibrations because a certain slope has shifted. A building will be an ecosystem that gives even as you give back to it. All things connected by IoT and 5G will have another value, they will open the door to other major disruptions. How do you see the world and the company transforming over the next 20 years? It’s part of our job to look to the future, to understand how technology will affect us as people and a society because industrial and social revo-lutions are usually linked. Digitalization will cause an enormous trans-formation in the working world, and therefore, the personal world, with complete delocalization of work and increasingly specialized workers who may even work for multiple companies. The impact will be exponential, with 5G on a massive scale or quantum computing. Just two years ago at ACCIONA, we were programming code in AI neural networks. Today we buy software and configure it in an hour. With that sort of technological acceleration, it’s hard to make projections. But if there’s one thing we’re certain of, it’s that ACCIONA will be there, because we’ve already done it, we’ve evolved at full speed. As a compa-ny, we’ll be more dynamic and technological, more sustainable, more collaborative, more admired for our positive global influence. We’ll be there because we’re already generating and managing change on a path toward that future. MILESTONES OF A DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION The General Data Governance Framework for digitalizing all possible processes and infrastructure. It’s the major cata-lyst capable of changing the company from top to bottom. Over 150 digitalization projects which mainstream automa-tion, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method, and artificial intelligence, making them cross-cutting to develop solutions that benefit sites in every business. For exam-ple, the digital twins that enabled remote start-up of large desalination plants during the worst of the pandemic, or the evolution toward autonomous and automated desalination, wastewater treatment, and purification plants that will be able to be rolled out in many more towns and cities. Smart Control Centers for businesses all over the world. They don’t just allow viewing and control the operation of sites, they’re application and software platforms developed from information generated by and shared between all sim-ilar sites. Sort of like a market with solutions for all users.
