- Heify is a spin-off from AdD Global, recently accelerated by BIC Euronova (European Business and Innovation Centre in Málaga), establishing its technology as a direct and actionable solution for the market
Heify, the Málaga-based start-up that has positioned itself at the forefront of conversational data management and analysis using advanced intelligence systems, will play a leading role at the upcoming Global Innovation Procurement Summit 2026, which is due to take place in the city of Málaga the 22th of October. The Andalusian firm is attending this international event as the winner of the national business pitch competition held just a few months ago, a milestone that highlights the strength of the local technology ecosystem in the face of traditional procurement structures. Based on the premise that the procurement of the future is designed in the present, this third conference on innovation and technology in the procurement sector seeks to bring together the industry’s most prominent players for a day where applied artificial intelligence and big data management are presented as the only tools capable of mitigating the institutional bureaucracy that still weighs down large corporations.
Against this backdrop of digital disruption, the active participation of FQ Source has also been confirmed; this platform specialises in coordinating supplier networks and seeks to bring greater agility to procurement departments, whilst strategic leaders from Prompturement and Vendor Score IT will undergo a series of technical interviews to explore the challenges facing ProcureTech consultancy. The event, organised by the ProcureTech Innovation Cluster, is presented as the 3rd Global Innovation Procurement Summit 2026, a forum that intends to bring together the most influential voices on the national and international scene to analyse the innovations that large corporations are rolling out in Spain. The event seeks to go beyond mere commercial exchange to become a space for technological validation, where proof-of-concepts and the digitalisation of processes align with the generation of real business value.
The structure of the event, which combines institutional rigour with the agility typical of start-ups, will feature keynote speeches by industry leaders, high-level professional networking sessions aimed at innovation executives and data directors, as well as the Pitch Competition Day, where Heify will reaffirm its leading position. Furthermore, the organisers have planned technical workshops and a specialised hackathon to develop strategic skills, focusing on the adoption of tools that reduce opacity and lead times in supply chain management. This approach aims to provide procurement teams with certified practical training in artificial intelligence, enabling the success stories analysed during the event to be implemented immediately within the operational structures of the participating companies.
The relevance of this summit lies in its ability to act as a catalyst between emerging technological offerings and the needs of a rapidly changing sector, a context in which the integration of digital solutions is no longer seen as an option, but as an imperative for economic survival. The best ideas emerge when those facing the challenges, those creating the technology and those daring to innovate come together, a principle that underpins the philosophy of an event seeking to professionalise data management and automation within the procurement sector. To round off the financial year, this conference presents the ultimate opportunity for leading corporations to connect with disruptive talent, exploring the methodologies and tools that are redefining corporate agility in an increasingly complex and demanding global environment.
