11:00–11:30 · Managing innovation and business with humanoids and VR in action
Vanesa Zorrilla Muñoz · UAM
How can humanoid robots learn from the people who know a task best? Vanesa Zorrilla Muñoz, from UAM’s Department of Business Organisation, will discuss how robotics and virtual reality could ease physical strain in nursing and hospitality. Drawing on a nursing proof of concept and the ROBLOH project, she will explain how expert movements are recorded, how robots learn from demonstrations, and how VR can provide feedback on posture during training. She will also discuss how to measure the benefits and bring these solutions from the lab into the workplace.
11:30–12:00 · Immersive Innovation and Different Talent. Por Talento Digital’s challenge in the technology ecosystem
Jonatan Ruipérez Fresno · PorTalento Digital Valencia / Fundación ONCE
How does the labour market change when we stop focusing on disability and start assessing technological knowledge? Although technology allows us to design new worlds, our greatest challenge is to transform how we see our own.
This talk explores how PorTalento Digital serves as Fundación ONCE’s major innovative tool to transform employability and redefine inclusion through technical excellence. The aim is to change the paradigm and challenge established business prejudices by focusing on what matters: technological value and expert knowledge. We will share how our advanced digital training strategy breaks down barriers to bring highly qualified, competitive talent without labels to the market, demonstrating that diversity generates real value, disruption and concrete solutions within the technology ecosystem.
About Jonatan Ruipérez Fresno
I am Jonatan Ruipérez Fresno, and I currently work at PorTalento Digital Valencia after years providing employment guidance for people with disabilities at Inserta Empleo, within Fundación ONCE. I studied psychology and computing, and have devoted almost my entire life to raising awareness and improving the inclusion of people with disabilities. My daily work focuses on technology as a driver for improving people’s lives through employment, education, leisure and emotional wellbeing. I am passionate about continually exploring how innovation can overcome real barriers and change how technological talent reaches the labour market.
12:00–12:30 · How video games can be a learning tool in the classroom
Ernesto Buñuel García · CEO and co-founder of Zynergic (Eutopía)
Today’s students have grown up playing games. Video games already engage them; the question is how to use that engagement for classroom learning while meeting curriculum requirements. Ernesto shares what he has learned with Eutopía, an educational video game aligned with Spain’s LOMLOE curriculum and used in more than 50 primary, secondary (ESO) and vocational (FP) schools. He explores gamification as a language that motivates new generations, how a compelling narrative turns content—decoding a spy message or using GPS to understand physics—into a challenge students want to solve, and how games can assess competencies automatically and save teachers time. The talk includes real classroom cases and a look at what immersive technologies such as XR can bring to education.
About Ernesto Buñuel García
Ernesto Buñuel García is CEO and co-founder of Zynergic, the Valencian EdTech company developing Eutopía, an educational video game for primary, secondary (ESO) and vocational (FP) education that generates real-time competency assessment reports. Originally from Altea, he studied Industrial Design Engineering at TU Eindhoven, where he also completed an Honors programme in Smart Cities and Energy Transition. As a child, a Nintendo DS helped him overcome a learning difficulty in primary school, inspiring his belief that play can change how we learn. He founded Zynergic in 2021, and the company has grown within Lanzadera. He is secretary of the board of AVIV (Asociación Valenciana de la Industria del Videojuego) and a fellow of Sigma Squared Society.

13:00–13:30 · Beyond the virtual: designing new XR interactions for health and wellbeing
Patricia Pons — ITI
Mixed reality, generative AI and new interactions with the physical environment enable personalised virtual settings for relaxation and emotional wellbeing. Physical object recognition integrates real objects into mixed reality experiences with virtual animals for occupational therapy. Human-centred design, participatory co-design, prototypes and user evaluation help adapt these experiences to real needs.

13:30–14:00 · Beyond gaming: socialisation and virtual risks for Generation Alpha
Pavel Sidorenko
Platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft are now among the main ways younger users find entertainment, information and social connections. Like other social networks, they also involve risks that call for care and attention to harmful dynamics. Do you know what your child is doing or who they are talking to when they are “playing”?
