Joan Torre is Executive Director Industry at GFT in Sant Cugat, a telecommunications engineer and representative of a technology consultancy with more than 40 years of international experience.

GFT established its presence in Sant Cugat in 2000 and, as Joan explains, participation in BIVA has enabled the company to gain a deeper understanding of the territory, the local business network, and to develop projects with a tangible local impact.

The alliance is also key to attracting and retaining talent, one of the main challenges facing the technology sector.

GFT decided to join BIVA in order to actively contribute to talent development, become part of a strong industrial ecosystem, and strengthen its positioning as a reference company—particularly in the field of artificial intelligence within the territory.

Through GFT, the company contributes vision, specialization and experience in the creation and integration of digital hubs in the Sant Cugat area, while BIVA helps increase its visibility and recognition within the innovation ecosystem.
