ACCIONA took part on December 3 in the “Innovative Solutions Showcase” session of the Spain–Canada Business Summit, organized by ICEX in Toronto—an event designed to promote new collaboration opportunities between Spain and Canada in the fields of innovation, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure.

Representing ACCIONA, Anton Ricafort, Director of Innovation and Technology for the Infrastructure business, presented the company’s vision for digital transformation and the latest initiatives developed together with the I’MNOVATION ecosystem. During his presentation, Anton highlighted success stories in the use of AI for preconstruction teams and computer vision technologies applied to operations and maintenance, as reflected in the event’s official documentation.

The session brought together corporations, specialized investment funds (CVCs and VCs), and key players from the Canadian innovation ecosystem, fostering a space for technological exchange and the search for new local partners.

Participation of startups collaborating with ACCIONA

The event also featured the participation of two startups from the I’MNOVATION ecosystem:

• CureClimate, a startup we are currently working with, focuses on innovation in sustainable materials—especially low-emissions cement and lime—driving electrochemical decarbonization processes that can transform the construction value chain.
• Multiverse Computing, an I’MNOVATION program alumnus, specializes in AI model compression and quantum simulation for industrial environments. Its technology enables the deployment of advanced models while optimizing computational, energy, and connectivity resources, with direct applications in infrastructure and complex operations.
  Both companies participated in the Showcase as representatives of the new generation of climate and industrial solutions redefining the future of construction.

Driving new partnerships in North America

Through this participation, ACCIONA reinforces its commitment to open innovation and its interest in identifying technological partners—startups, universities, and research centers—that help accelerate the integration of advanced solutions into the company’s infrastructure projects in the country.

From I’MNOVATION, we continue to strengthen our international presence and explore new collaboration opportunities to bring high-impact innovation to ACCIONA projects worldwide.
