Planeta Formación y Universidades and UNIE Universidad align at Prensa Ibérica’s “España 360”: this was the event that brought together regional governments and experts in Madrid
The España 360—Prensa Ibérica’s First Meeting of Autonomous Communities—held from November 25 to 27 at the Hotel Palace in Madrid, established itself as a key forum for understanding the direction of healthcare training, business transformation, and employment in the age of artificial intelligence. With a carefully crafted staging and a distinctly strategic tone, the event united public administrations, universities, and companies around a shared goal: envisioning the future in order to begin building it today.
The Health and Well-being block, held on November 26, featured the participation of Marta Rodríguez, Dean of the Faculty of Health at UNIE University, an institution that is part of the higher-education network Planeta Formación y Universidades. Rodríguez emphasized the urgent need to reform healthcare training in a context where medical technologies evolve faster than traditional learning processes. Her presentation—focused on active methodologies, applied innovation, and constant updating—aligned closely with the analysis released days earlier on the technological shift already transforming medical practice in Spain.
On November 27, attention shifted to the Employment block with the presentation of conclusions from the report Barometer on AI and Future Employability, conducted by GAD3 for Planeta Formación y Universidades Nex-IA. Patricia Abad, Research Director at GAD3, provided a clear picture of the degree of AI adoption in Spanish companies—a phenomenon that, according to recent data, is accelerating due to the growing number of businesses now paying for licenses of AI-based tools. She was joined by Adelaida Portela, Vice-Rector for Educational Innovation and International Relations at UNIE, who stressed the need to prepare workers and managers to coexist with intelligent systems, highlighting the importance of digital skills and continuous learning.
With a narrative strongly oriented toward institutional marketing—centered on the idea of “sharing the present, building the future”—the event succeeded in positioning innovation, health, and employability as inseparable pillars of social and economic development. In just three days, España 360 became a clear snapshot of the moment of transformation Spain is experiencing and of the opportunities that arise when institutions, businesses, and citizens move in the same direction.
