The Eurecat Technology Open Day 2025 is a public event showcasing applied research and innovation at Catalonia's leading technology centre. Organised by Eurecat Technology Centre, the event takes place on 12 June 2025 in Barcelona and offers attendees a hands-on look at cutting-edge technologies being developed for smart city applications, advanced manufacturing, and digital services.
Eurecat is one of the largest technology centres in southern Europe, with deep expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, sustainability, and industrial innovation. During the Open Day, researchers and engineers open their laboratories and demonstration spaces to visitors, presenting projects that address real-world urban challenges. Key focus areas include computer vision systems for improving traffic safety and pedestrian protection, natural language processing tools for enhancing citizen services and municipal communication, predictive maintenance solutions for critical urban infrastructure such as water networks and public buildings, and smart manufacturing technologies that support the transition towards Industry 4.0.
The programme features guided laboratory tours, live technology demonstrations, short research talks, and networking sessions with Eurecat's multidisciplinary teams. It provides a unique opportunity to see how fundamental research is translated into practical solutions that benefit cities and communities.
This event is particularly relevant for urban technology professionals, municipal innovation officers, start-up founders, and researchers interested in the practical application of emerging technologies to smart city challenges. Barcelona's position as a global smart city leader and its strong technology ecosystem make it a natural home for Eurecat's work. The Open Day serves as an accessible entry point for exploring collaborative opportunities with one of Europe's foremost applied research institutions.
