    El sector del automóvil está en transformación. Durante los últimos cinco años, se han registrado más cambios que en las últimas décadas. Este es el caso de SEAT, que ha pasado de motorizar la España de la posguerra mediante la fabricación de automóviles de combustión a disponer de planes para electrificar sus fábricas y a desarrollar soluciones más sostenibles de movilidad urbana.

Licenciado en un doble grado en Gestión Internacional y Alemán por la Universidad de Leeds (Reino Unido), su carrera ha estado muy vinculada al Grupo Volkswagen, primero en Audi AG y ahora en SEAT y CUPRA. Àngel Castiñeira, director de la Cátedra LiderazgoS y Sostenibilidad de Esade, ha conversado con él sobre este y otros temas.

    Innovate or die: "Greatest innovation will come out from fast-growing cities like Lagos and Dhaka"

    During the next few days, Barcelona will host the Smart City Expo World Congress 2022. In this framing, Esteve Almirall, head of the Esade Center for Innovation in Cities, presents a new episode of his podcast ‘Innovate or die’. Today’s guest is Jeff Merrit, Head of Urban Transformation at the World Economic Forum and a member of its Executive Committee.

    “Cities have a huge window of opportunity to attract the best global talent”

    “Cities have a huge window of opportunity to attract the best global talent”
    There is a trend towards the offshoring of talent. But at the same time, there are signs of de-globalization in various areas because of circumstances such as nationalist or protectionist leadership, Brexit, and supply chain disruption. Talent has an unprecedented opportunity to settle anywhere and can become more ubiquitous, in part due to the pandemic, which facilitates remote work and digitization. We discuss these opportunities in depth with Ivan Bofarull, Chief Innovation Officer at Esade, and Natalia Olson, advisor and mentor in Palo Alto, California (both co-authors of Esade's MBA City Monitor, a unique global indicator that predicts the ability of cities to attract and engage talent).

    “Europa tiene la oportunidad de asumir sus responsabilidades, que seran, en parte, militares”
    Las sanciones impuestas por Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea están castigando la economía rusa. Sin embargo, las líneas rojas de algunos países europeos altamente dependientes del gas ruso limitan la presión que se está ejerciendo sobre el régimen liderado por Vladimir Putin. ¿Qué alternativas hay a corto plazo para reducir la dependencia del gas ruso? ¿Cómo está cambiando la guerra la defensa y la seguridad europea? ¿Estamos viendo el nacimiento de una Europa geopolítica?

    En esta nueva edición del podcast EsadeGeo Exchange, Patrizia Cogo, ayudante de investigación de EsadeGeo, entrevista a Ángel Saz Carranza, director de EsadeGeo y profesor del Departamento de Dirección General y Estrategia de Esade sobre los últimos acontecimientos relacionados con la invasión rusa de Ucrania y el impacto que este conflicto tiene en múltiples áreas para la Unión Europea.

    El apoyo a los refugiados de Ucrania: conversación con Sara Escudero (Cruz Roja)

    El apoyo a los refugiados de Ucrania: conversación con Sara Escudero (Cruz Roja)
    La invasión de Ucrania ha provocado en menos de dos semanas la mayor oleada de refugiados en Europa des de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Principalmente mujeres, niños y ancianos llegan a las amplias fronteras de Ucrania con los países de la Unión Europea huyendo de un conflicto que se recrudece cada día que pasa y en el que las ciudades se han convertido en el principal campo de batalla. La ONU estima que hoy mismo se superarán los dos millones de refugiados, que han recibido una oleada de solidaridad sin precedentes.

    Ignasi Martí, director del Instituto de Innovación Social de Esade, conversa sobre la gestión de esta crisis humanitaria y el apoyo a estos refugiados con Sara Escudero, delegada de Emergencias de Cruz Roja Española y actualmente instalada en Varsovia para participar en la coordinación de la campaña de apoyo de Cruz Roja a los refugiados procedentes de Ucrania.
