🇪🇸✨ A first for Spain! We’re proud to announce the launch of the country’s first regional Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) system, delivered by Masabi in partnership with Plexus Tech for Xunta de Galicia. Branded as Galicia Mobility Platform 4.0 (MoBT), this new system modernizes public transport across Galicia, allowing passengers to plan, pay, and travel seamlessly using their mobile phones.📱 The pilot is already live with Rías Baixas, which launched in July on routes in Santiago de Compostela, Deza, and the A Coruña–Lugo line. In October, the solution will expand to 26 municipalities, including Pontevedra, Vigo, and Sanxenxo, before ultimately reaching 127 operators as deployment progresses. Powered by Masabi’s Justride platform, this milestone makes travel simpler, smarter, and more connected, while ensuring operators and authorities can stay ahead of evolving passenger needs. We’re thankful for the close collaboration with Xunta de Galicia and Plexus Tech, whose shared vision of modern, accessible, and passenger-focused mobility made this achievement possible. Together, we’re shaping the future of public transport in Spain. 🚌 Find out more in the comments. #MasabiDelivers #PublicTransport #SmartCities

Proud to announce Europe's First IBM Quantum System Two. Today marks a significant milestone as IBM unveils one of the world's most powerful quantum systems at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center in San Sebastián, Spain, in collaboration with the Basque Government. This installation, the first in Europe and second outside the US, underscores Europe's commitment to quantum computing leadership. Quantum technology holds immense potential for our industries, research communities, and governments. By rapidly deploying systems like this, we're ensuring the continent stays at the forefront of such transformative technology and support the European Commission's Quantum Europe Strategy, aiming to establish Europe as a global quantum leader by 2030. To a brighter, more innovative future for Europe. Thanks Imanol Pradales Gil, Jay Gambetta, Horacio Morell Find out more in Fortune: https://lnkd.in/dJAtQEJG

News 👀 : Startup HappyRobot has raised $44M in Series B funding to build AI agents to logistics and shipping businesses. Led by 3 Spanish co-founders Pablo Palafox, Javi Palafox and Luis Paarup in the Bay Area, HappyRobot is an emerging example of a startup finding real traction -- and revenue -- bringing AI to a specific vertical 🤖 🚛 Fast facts on HappyRobot: -ARR of $10M+ -$44M Series B led by Base10 Partners -Other investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Tokio Marine Group and WaVe-X -Valued at ~$500M, per a source -Works with 8 of top 10 brokers, 2 of top 3 ocean carriers, and clients like DHL Supply Chain, Werner Enterprises, Schneider Is the tech all the way there yet? For voice features, mostly yes. For AI workflows, the startup still relies on FDEs to deploy its AI agents and "vibe-code" a last-mile solution. “It’s very much a Rorschach test. If you believe that agents aren’t going to be able to do 10% of what they promise to do, then this will not be a very interesting investment,” says investor Adeyemi Ajao. “But this might be the company that crafts the path, and the playbook, for the rest of the agentic companies in other verticals.” A big thanks to partner Vanta for helping this interview reach the wider startup ecosystem, fully free 🙌 🚀 https://lnkd.in/ec49psuy

What happens when a volcano researcher meets a supercomputing architect at Europe's most powerful data center? Meet Alejandro Marti, PhD and Mauricio Hanzich, Co-Founders of Mitiga Solutions. The perfect founder pairing: Alejandro brought deep climate science expertise: → PhD in Environmental Engineering → 10 years with the US government → Collaboration with NASA and NOAA → Plus two prestigious Marie Curie Fellowships Mauricio brought world-class technical execution: → Over a decade of leading software development at Barcelona Supercomputing Center → Expert in high-performance computing architecture. At Barcelona Supercomputing Center, home to MareNostrum (one of Europe's most powerful supercomputers), they recognized a massive gap in climate risk modeling. Traditional risk models rely on past events to predict disasters. But climate change means the past no longer predicts the future. In 2018, they spun out Mitiga Solutions with physics-based climate models providing real-time risk intelligence. Today, Mitiga Solutions has: → Raised €21M+ including the first Spanish startup backed by Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund → Serves customers in 20+ countries including AXA Climate, Willis Tower Watson, UNDP → Built team of 30+ experts, 40% with PhDs → Published 300+ peer-reviewed papers Alejandro now chairs the UN-ITU Topic Group on AI for Climate Applications while Mauricio leads their technical architecture. Their platform helps businesses measure climate risk in seconds rather than months. "We're on a mission to prevent natural hazards from becoming disasters and make the world more resilient under a changing climate." — Did you know about Mitiga and their work?

A great interview with Alex Bryszkowski, offering a clear view on how #eSIMs have moved far beyond tourism into core infrastructure for logistics, sports teams, and global #corporatetravel. 🚀 The global eSIM market is projected to surpass USD 17.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 18.7%, according to The Insight Partners. This is not a trend, it’s a new layer of enterprise mobility. Holafly has already surpassed 10 million eSIMs sold across 200+ destinations, becoming a benchmark in the space. Not just as a consumer favorite, but as a fast-scaling B2B partner for companies that need their people online, instantly and reliably. Clearly, this isn’t just a growing industry. It’s the next infrastructure of global work. https://lnkd.in/dRSK73pt
