Between June 5 and 7, the 13th edition of South Summit 2024 was held at La Nave (Madrid), the reference event for innovation and entrepreneurship, where we participated once again with our temas Openvia Mobility and Bluenest by Globalvia.
This year, the organization chose the theme “Human by Design” to explore the future of business and innovation from a human perspective, where technological advances continue to be committed to improving people’s lives.
Visitors to our stand were able to learn more about the latest advances in projects such as NeoRoads, our initiative for the development of smart, connected, and sustainable roads, and our milestones in Advanced Air Mobility, including the first passenger drone demonstration flight in Costa Rica last March and the development by our Bluenest team of the first Vertiport and Flight Control Center.

Visitors also enjoyed a drone flight simulation experience with our virtual reality glasses and were invited to recharge with coffee and chocolates.
