Predictive analytics uses statistical modelling techniques, big data and machine learning to extract historical data and make predictions. In the business world, it is a highly valued technique because of the benefits it can bring in terms of identifying risks and opportunities, for example. Its application ranges from e-commerce to energy, finance and insurance, among others.

Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is transforming the way companies operate. RPA software robots communicate with systems and applications to speed up processes and reduce the workload on humans. Let's take a look at how it works and the benefits it provides.

The future of decarbonisation depends on adequate energy storage. This is where lithium-ion batteries, currently the most competitive batteries, come into play. Let's find out about their elements, how they work, their advantages and what their role will be in a sustainable future.

The electrolyser is an apparatus that produces hydrogen through a chemical process (electrolysis) capable of separating the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of which water is composed using electricity. Hydrogen produced in this sustainable way, i.e. without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, can be the basis for a decarbonised economy.

Since the beginning of the space era in 1957, tons of rockets, space ships and satellites have been launched into space and, at least initially, no one foresaw what to do with them at the end of their useful life. The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates that there are some 900,000 objects over one centimetre in size that have no use orbiting the Earth. This fact, according to the UN, endangers future missions and even terrestrial communications.

This morning in Bilbao, King Felipe VI met representatives of companies collaborating in the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub, a technology hub sponsored by Iberdrola and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, which is equipped with the latest...
