Upango participates in the technology mission and travels to Shanghai

Gonzalo Casado, CEO of the company, traveled to Shanghai during the last week of June for the technology mission organized by the Institute for Development of the Region of Murcia.

The objective was to learn about the technological advancements of the Asian giant, for which various visits were organized to high-tech companies in areas such as:

·       Artificial Intelligence.

·       Infrastructures.

·       E-commerce.

·       Big Data.

During the trip, we were able to observe the awareness that exists regarding the importance of developing artificial intelligence for the country's evolution, with significant investments in all necessary areas.

As expected, we ended the week by visiting the Mobile World Congress, where we had the opportunity to try devices not yet available in Europe.

Among the lessons learned during the trip, we highlight:

  • When it comes to robotics, the Asian giant is advancing by innovating in both mechanical aspects and artificial intelligence, developing capabilities.

  • They have a clear path and understand that time to market is not immediate, but strategic.

  • Beyond technology, they are developing a complete ecosystem to boost associated businesses, both local and international.

  • Startups clearly seek scalability, designing sales scenarios and products that can reach the market as quickly as possible. To do this, they leverage public and private resources.

We want to emphasize the role that an organization like INFO plays for Murcian companies in general and technology companies in particular, paving the way, identifying markets, and organizing missions where we can also enjoy the city and interaction with other like-minded companies.

A very enriching experience.

Special thanks to María José Bernal Torres, leader of the expedition, and congratulations on this great work.
