This April, the Foundation played a prominent role in two key events for industrial transformation and the construction sector: Advanced Factories & Advanced Machine Tools 2025 & Rebuild 2025, reaffirming its commitment to innovation and the promotion of talent in vocational training.
From April 8 to 10, we collaborated in the 9th edition of Advanced Factories (AF2025) and the 2nd edition of Advanced Machine Tools (AMT), held at Feria Barcelona, a benchmark in automation, industrial robotics, and Industry 4.0. On the afternoon of Thursday, April 10, the Talent Marketplace was held, where vocational training students were able to learn about companies and trends in the sector. During the event, the president of the FP CAT Agency, Jose Luis Duran, presented the Awards for Innovative Vocational Training Projects, in which the following centers stood out as finalists:
- Escola del Treball de Barcelona
- Institut El Palau
- Institut de Guissona
- Laudioalde – winner 2025
Subsequently, on April 24 and 25, we participated in Rebuild 2025 and the EYOCNET network meeting, held at IES Islas Filipinas in Madrid, which brings together teachers of Building and Civil Engineering at the national level. This new association, with the participation of centers in Barcelona and the AMB, was created with the aim of promoting collaboration and innovation in the AECO sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Maintenance).
On Friday, April 25, the Foundation moderated a panel discussion on success stories after training, with notable contributions from Iván Romero and Marc Prim, former students of the Institut Provençana, founders of Blue Building Company, and winners of the FP Consolida Award, the Metropolis FP Lab, and recently the LA PLAZA ideas competition at Construmat 2025 at the Barcelona Trade Fair.
Both events show that the future of industry and construction lies in quality training and the promotion of young talent. Without training, there will be no transformation!
We thank the organizations Advanced Factorías and Rebuild for their support and commitment to the visibility and promotion of vocational training.
