The meeting, hosted at Accenture’s facilities at Málaga TechPark, was led by Antonio Gómez Guillamón, CEO of AERTEC, who welcomed attendees by highlighting the club’s role as a driver of cooperation between the park and society.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the presentation of the Málaga TechPark Execs 2025 Award to OPPLUS. The award was received by Ricardo Jurado, who recently took over as CEO of the company. Through this recognition, OPPLUS’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and local impact was acknowledged, underscoring its ability to integrate innovation processes and sustainability criteria into its business model. The award also highlighted the company’s significance within Málaga’s business ecosystem and its active involvement in social and solidarity initiatives.

Talent boost
In the area of talent development, Nuria Iglesias, from Accenture, presented an agenda focused on academic collaboration, including visits to UAX and working meetings within the TalentLab project.
