Hyperloop, a new challenge, one milestone more.

RAFAEL CONTRERAR PUERTA CAPSULANot even a week ago,  I was running the countdown that gave way to a new challenge. A milestone more achieved in this path of constant innovation that I undertook together with colleagues, there present, more than 15 years ago. When the 40-meter-wide curtain came down, the first life-size Hyperloop capsule in the world was discovered in our facility at El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz-Spain). Completely made by AIRTIFICIAL, and with Spanish talent, Andalusian. When I addressed some words to the guests, I could not avoid, nor did I wanted, the emotion to accompany me on stage. I only understand work with passion, with commitment, with dedication. And in addition to the objective fact of inaugurating what has become a revolution in the world of transport, there were people there with whom I have sweated, and I have shared the worst moments, and also the best, as I spoke about there.

Here I leave the words I said not even seven days ago. Here I leave you part of my thoughts and my emotions at such an important moment. Here I leave my involvement with all those who have made possible, and continue to do so, that so far with CARBURES, and henceforth with AIRTIFICIAL, we continue to meet goals. Hyperloop, a new challenge, a milestone.

Artificial Intelligence at the MIT

FOTO-RAFA-MITFor a CEO or a company President, it is important to take a space for reflection in the midst of the daily work. I have always believed and I have applied it to myself, that to stay competitive in the first position you have to be in constant movement and search. Open and exploring what is next. This decision obliges you as a person and a professional to a recycling and constant learning process.

I am currently enrolled in an Executive in Artificial Intelligence at MIT. Already in 2013-14, together with Iván, I had my first executive experience of study, reflection and contrast of our strategic premises in the center of excellence of Massachusetts. That year and a half meant the crystallization of what today, four years later, is MUVING Ecosystem. In the case that concerns me this time, my mind is focused on everything that surrounds the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the business world.
