Walking towards the Salamanca Tech Summit 2026

As a prelude to the Salamanca Tech Summit 2026 (April 15–17), we are holding this gathering to continue building a Salamanca Tech with identity: a “sky of our own” that helps us organize and tell, in a simple way, how Salamanca thinks, acts, and cares for its future by connecting science, technology, entrepreneurship, logistics, health, and sustainability.

Over the course of three hours, we will present the model in a concise way and, through two roundtable discussions, give a voice to the six areas of the ecosystem, showcasing real examples of talent and companies that are already transforming the city: skilled employment, new opportunities, and solutions that make a tangible difference in everyday life.

We will conclude with the presentation of the Salamanca Tech Summit 2026 —its approach and motto— followed by a final networking session to connect institutions, businesses, the university, and the public.
