The directors of the five companies understand that “deep down, we help change and improve the world, because the current company is no better than the one we inherited from our parents.” Patricia Sancho, CEO of Le Petit Planet, confirms that in his company they aspire to bring about change in families so that they move from a linear economy of purchase, use and disposal, to another circular economy in everything related to the world of childhood. “Children grow up very quickly and purchases of toys and clothes on our platform, once used, are resold through blockchain technology that creates a digital certificate,” explains Sancho.
Talent is the raw material with which he works Inigo MansoCEO, BChange Mindset Management. He warns that “everything around us is changing except the mentality of people.” This is why his company has created a category in which it helps organizations transform by changing the mindset.

Carla Gomez Canoco-founder of Theker Robotics, an R&D + i startup in the field of robotics, artificial intelligence and computer vision, has created “the world’s most advanced microelectronic soldering and welding technologies and with it we will change the paradigm of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, betting on automated remanufacturing and promoting the circular economy” “.
Currently, the world generates about 50 million tons of e-waste per year, “which is equivalent to throwing away a thousand computers per second and giving their boards a second life because our technology allows us to replace parts.” All this thanks to his robot, “the first in which all types of electronic boards can be inserted and capable of automatically detecting the components to be soldered, through artificial intelligence and computer vision, so that it makes the process more efficient, avoiding the errors that are currently occurring in the industry.
