It has already launched a collaborative initiative with the Andalusian Ministry of Industry, Energy, and Mines focused on four challenges related to dual-use technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud of the work done during this first semester. The Foundation has demonstrated its ability to lead strategic initiatives in microelectronics, dual-use technologies, and industrial innovation,\u201d said Foundation President Ezequiel Navarro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Leadership changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the board meeting, changes in the technical management of Innova IRV were also announced. Mario Nemirovsky, who had held this position, has decided to pursue new professional opportunities after three years of valuable collaboration. He will, however, maintain a relationship with the Foundation as an expert and advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe deeply appreciate his leadership and key contributions, which have been fundamental to the development and consolidation of strategic projects such as the arrival of IMEC in M\u00e1laga and the creation of the first microelectronics startup promoted by the Foundation. We wish him the greatest success in this new chapter and look forward to continuing to collaborate on future projects,\u201d said Ezequiel Navarro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A growing ecosystem: New alliances and projects underway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Over this period, the Foundation has undertaken an intensive institutional agenda, encompassing more than 40 key actions. Highlights include participation in major international forums such as IMEC\u2019s ITF in Antwerp, MWC Barcelona, and FEINDEF, among others, as well as joining new national and international networks like AENEAS, Fundaci\u00f3n C\u00edrculo, and Gaia-X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this semester, the Foundation has helped reinforce the role of M\u00e1laga and Andalusia on the international microelectronics map, while also leading projects under funding programs such as Chips JU and INNTERCONECTA \u2013 STEP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In parallel, new projects have been launched in other strategic areas, positioning the Foundation as a key player in driving public and private industrial transformation strategies, with a strong focus on technological sovereignty, strategic autonomy, and innovation as a driving force for development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innova IRV concluded the first half of the year by reinforcing its position in the field of microelectronics and launching new strategic projects The Ricardo Valle Institute of Innovation Foundation (Innova IRV) gathered its Board of Trustees at the Rectorate&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24331,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irv.nosomosnada.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
