SPIDER held its Demo-Day and presented digital solutions enabled by BELLA connectivity

Following the call launched in March 2025, the SPIDER project held the SPIDER Demo-Day for EU–LAC Digital Innovators. This virtual event marked the conclusion of the Call for Ideas process to promote the strategic use of advanced connectivity between Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

(Source: Spider) The Call for Ideas was organized by SPIDER in partnership with RedCLARA and the BELLA II project to identify and support early-stage digital solutions based on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and shared digital resources, leveraging the BELLA connectivity infrastructure.

As part of the process, the selected teams participated in training, mentoring, and technical pitch reviews, designed to strengthen the conceptual clarity, feasibility, and strategic focus of their proposals. The cycle concluded with a Demo-Day organized by SPIDER, during which innovators presented their final pitches to the SPIDER community and stakeholders from the EU–LAC digital ecosystem.

The solutions presented covered areas such as EdTech, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and green technologies, with projects originating in Colombia, Spain, Chile, Guatemala, and El Salvador, reflecting the bi-regional scope of the call and the diversity of approaches. The innovators pitching at the event were:

  • Valía Person (Colombia, EdTech)

  • ATENXIA (Spain, EdTech)

  • Plataforma de Recomendación y Formación PYMEs en LAC y EU (Chile, Cybersecurity)

  • Online Medical Records for Student and Professional Mobility (Guatemala, EdTech)

  • IA GROS (El Salvador, Artificial Intelligence)

  • Sistema Inteligente de Alerta Temprana para La Mojana (Colombia, GreenTech)

The Demo-Day provided visibility to concrete proposals and reinforced the link between advanced connectivity, applied innovation, and digital cooperation, in line with the objectives of the EU–LAC Digital Dialogues.

The TICAL 2025 conference, part of the BELLA Programme, will be a key event for discussing digital transformations and the implementation of new technologies. Participants will discuss blockchain, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other areas that are actively changing education and research. Events like these help understand how digital solutions impact society and shape new models of interaction across a wide range of fields. However, digital transformations affect not only science and technology but also social life. One of the key challenges remains the successful integration of people who move to another country for various reasons. The adaptation of migrants is linked to language barriers, cultural differences, and the need for support. This is the focus of a paper onlust-auf-dresden.com, which examines the challenges and possible solutions associated with migrants' adaptation to a new society. This experience is particularly valuable when it comes to creating digital tools that can facilitate the integration process. Ultimately, there is a direct connection between the ideas discussed at the TICAL 2025 conference and the social issues surrounding migration. Digital solutions developed within the BELLA Programme can become an effective tool for reducing adaptation difficulties and strengthening social cohesion. Therefore, discussion of new technologies cannot be separated from the real challenges faced by people moving to other countries.
