The second edition of the Business Ideas Competition incubated five shortlisted ideas, with the winner being AirEmpires: Sky Management, a real-time strategy game available on the website that merges air traffic management with construction and expansion, Age of Empires style, and whose goal is to introduce the air navigation system to the youngest audience.
The winner of the third edition of the Technological Challenges Competition was the Machine Learning and Quantum Computing Group at the Autonomous University of Madrid, with their Quantum Reservoir Computing solution, which addresses the challenge of exploring how quantum computing can transform the ability to analyse multiple operational scenarios simultaneously and efficiently.
