For the fourth consecutive year, the FCC Group has held its Innovation Day, an event promoted by the company's Digital Innovation Lab (DLab), which highlights the strategic role of innovation not only as an internal strength, but also as a fundamental lever in creating value for the Group.

The event was opened by Alfredo García, Director of Systems and IT at the FCC Group, and Manel Miranda, Director of IT for Innovation and Business Relations at the FCC Group, who highlighted the firm commitment of FCC and Inmocemento to innovation, pointing out that Innovation Day is an event that showcases a small part of the advances, ideas and initiatives that have been launched to drive the company's future. In addition, on the occasion of the company's 125th anniversary, they recalled that innovation has been a fundamental pillar of the Group since its inception.

Throughout the day, presentations were given by FCC Construcción, Aqualia, FCC enviro and Cementos Portland Valderrivas. In this way, each business area of the FCC Group and the Inmocemento Group had the opportunity to present the latest developments and strategic advances in their respective fields of operation.

These presentations began with a round table discussion featuring Antonio Bravo from FCC enviro, Antonio Burgueño from FCC Construcción, and Pedro Rodríguez from Aqualia, which addressed the FCC Group's innovation throughout its 125-year history. Next, Carlos Bouhaben, from FCC enviro, presented PLAUSU, an Autonomous Platform for Urban Services. Marina Navarro, also from FCC enviro, then presented the ‘Circular Bioeconomy in Action’ initiative, focusing on the I+Dehesas projects. For his part, Luis Herreras, from Cementos Portland Valderrivas, explained how they are redefining the “C” in cement: Quality, Colour... and Commitment to CO₂. Later, Silvia Tavera, from Microsoft, detailed how AI agents can enhance everyday life. Marcelino Ortega, from Aqualia, presented ‘The Virtual Operator: Innovation in Knowledge Management’, while Iván Arbós, from FCC Construcción, unveiled the EDIFICTECH project. Finally, Pilar de Vicente and Manel Miranda, from the FCC Group's Systems and Technology Division, closed the presentations by highlighting the role that AI will play in the company's future.

These exhibitions have not only enabled the sharing of knowledge and initiatives, but have also highlighted how technological innovation is being applied to generate efficiencies and new solutions in key sectors such as construction, integrated water management, the environment and cement.

In addition to the presentations, the event featured an exhibitor area that served as a strategic meeting point. In this space, the different business areas of the FCC Group showcased some of their innovation projects. Furthermore, the presence of technology companies such as Microsoft, GalamCam and Casual Robots highlighted the importance of external collaboration in the Group's innovation ecosystem, allowing for the exploration of joint solutions and new digital transformation tools.

At the same time, Aqualia and FCC have inaugurated their NICE project at the Las Tablas Corporate Headquarters, a plant for the recovery, regeneration and reuse of grey water from the building itself. This initiative contributes directly to reducing the water footprint of the facilities, demonstrating the FCC Group's environmental commitment.
