Sasir has organized its annual open innovation event, the Sasser Innovation Summit, in which it has brought together the best proposals for four business challenges launched by the company in the fifth edition of the Sasser iChallenges.
The meeting in a hybrid format was attended by 12 innovative agents from 10 countries: Spain, Denmark, Holland, India, Israel, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States, and Australia and Turkey. These agents responded to calls made by Sasir in May to find solutions to four business challenges.
Sacyr iChallenges is one of the pillars of Sacyr’s innovation and transformation strategy, which is based on teamwork and co-creation with the global innovative ecosystem.
Sasir President Manuel Manrique opened the meeting and highlighted that “innovation is sharing and teamwork” for the company. “Best talent from Sasir with the best talent from abroad. For this reason, we believe that collaboration with the innovative ecosystem is our best bet”, he added.
