At the virtual study visit, project partners and stakeholders will have the opportunity to learn how digital realities are being developed, promoted and implemented in the Canary Islands. Furthermore, we will review public policies at different complementary levels, from the regional perspective to the local island-centred view.
On Tuesday 23rd March, after the institutional welcome by Regional Director of Innovalia, two sessions on regional policies are scheduled followed by two best practices bringing in technologies and companies. The first session is about Regional Public Policies supporting the implementation of digital realities in regional companies (by ACIISI). The second one is about “Canarias Financia 1” funds (by SODECAN), explaining the existing financial instruments to technology-based entrepreneurs and start-ups. On top of those sessions, we will end with two demonstration talks of tech companies: Botdreams with their virtual assistant solution, and Lightbee focused on high-tech solutions to the tourism sector.
In the afternoon, three talks are scheduled: first is a Public Private Partnership named CIDIHUB (Canary Islands Digital Innovation Hub). After that, we will review two best practices. First one is related to the digital transformation of a rural tourism business (BODEGAS MONJE + REDBORDER), while the second one is about promoting ecotourism activities using virtual 3D modelling (3DKUMO).
On Wednesday 24th March, we will focus on local initiatives in the island of Tenerife, for which we have planned two talks about Internationalisation Policies (PCTT) and Intelligent Tourist Destination Strategies (Tenerife Tourism Strategy). Then, Divulgación Inmersiva will introduce a best practice explaining the design and use of digital realities in museums and heritage sites.
In the afternoon, three talks of tech companies are scheduled: first one focused on art, technology and tourism products (TECHNARTE). Second one, FiiHUB, Internet of the Future for the technological acceleration of SMEs in Macaranesia region (The Macaronesian region consists of the Azores and Madeira in Portugal and the Canaries in Spain).
