 So, hi everyone, welcome to Madrid. Those of you who are coming from other parts of the globe. It's a great pleasure being here to try to spend this time joining this absolutely amazing event in Madrid. And I think this is a very, very important issue for the future of our region. So I'm just here to try to let you know about something that politicians are thinking in Madrid about this. I am not indeed a member of the government, but I am the leader of the Social Democratic Party here in Madrid region. So what I'm trying to do in my work is try to get Madrid where I think we should be. So this is not really easy because the politician now is very opposite. It's a lot of angry. And this is something we have to deal with. But... Can I continue in Spanish? Yes, you can. In total, the situation we have today in Spanish politics, which is very complicated and there is a lot of confrontation, it is assumed that many times we forget about the issues that are really important and interesting. And as for me, politics, which is an activity that I am going to dedicate a lifetime to, is basically to improve the quality of life. That people can live better, can share, enjoy and improve their living conditions. And I think Madrid has a huge potential to generate this and to achieve the three great goals that must be that quality of life, a sustainable economic growth and a good coexistence. That is what for me is ideal. It is about seeing the potentials that Madrid has and how to achieve it. And I think Madrid is a region that has a huge potential to really bet on the sectors of economic development with added value. And this has a lot to do with what you are discussing here today. How do we achieve this? Well, by putting the instruments that depend on the government, in this case of the Madrid community, to the service of the development of those productive sectors. Look at Madrid, which is a modern and innovative region of vanguard, because it has some data that make us reflect on what is the way in which that potential is being exploited. For example, only 5% of the new jobs that have been created in Madrid in the last year have to do with the industry. 90% have to do with the services sector, basically the hostility, restoration, the hotel sector, which I don't say are important sectors, of course it has a great weight in the Madrid economy, but clearly limiting 5% of the creation of jobs in the industry sector is an important limitation. Madrid, today, is the region number 79 of all Europe in investment, innovation and development, the 79. A region that is the capital of a great country like Spain and that should be breathing to be among the 10, 15 first without any doubt. We are also the region 93 in labor productivity. This has to do with the data that I gave you before. It has a great labor weight sectors that are not highly productive and with added value. We are the region 93 in the region 100 of Europe, for example, in registered patents, which also has a lot to do with the ecosystem that we have generated and with that ability to innovate and to put talent and knowledge to the service. How do I think that a government, a region like Madrid can influence and develop those sectors of added value in the future? Well, basically, through my obsession, which is education. I think there are many urgent problems, surely health, waiting lists that affect us a lot in the day-to-day, but seeing with perspective how to get all that potential in terms of quality of life, economic growth, sustainable social equation, I think that education is the key sector. And how to bet on education in the sector of which you are talking today? Well, trying to break a damn triangle that we have in Madrid. We are a region with 30% youth unemployment, 30%. We are a region in which this last year there were almost 40,000 young people who did not have access to the square that they wanted for professional training. And at the same time, we are a region where there are large, medium-sized companies, especially sectors of innovation and added value of sectors of the future that tell us that they are not professional, trained with sufficient technical skills in their area of development. How can it be? 30% of youth unemployment, many young people who want to train precisely in these sectors and cannot, and companies of all size, of sectors of the future that are not professional. How to break this triangle? There is only one way to break it, which is education. Education, education, education. How to break through the educational public system that instead of leaving young people without an FPP square that they have available, those professional training squares precisely in these sectors? How, through the public system, also investment is strategically bet by these sectors of the future? It seems absolutely key to me. And that's why I loved the invitation that you made me and to be able to participate here, more than to give you these three painted on perspective, also to learn and to be able to spend a while within the political debate that we have today in Spain with so much intensity, to be three quarters of an hour in this wonderful bubble in which you are really, I thank you very much. Therefore, we take decisions in educational matter. We take decisions that bet by the values that you represent here today with this initiative, which are, first, the economy of knowledge, second, the interconnectivity, third, sharing. How can you really grow in a collaborative way? Those are the keys, the skills that without any doubt, if we bet on them, they will allow us to generate that sustainable economic growth, that social issue and that quality of life that we talk about. So what I would ask you and forgive that you come here invited and above all, I ask you for things, is that you really learn a lot also at a political level. I feel that I try to go to almost everything that is invited to me, especially when it comes to things that come out of the political field of day to day. And honestly, I think that in the sector in which you work and in the sector in which you are studying and deepening, there is quite a distance with the day to day of public management and of political management. Sometimes it even seems to me that they were like two worlds separately, that politics is in charge of the things of the politicians, that the other path does not understand them very well and does not know why they waste time on that. And on the other hand, the development of these sectors of the future of innovation that are so generating and can generate well-being, they go through a lane that the politicians do not understand, nor interest us, nor worries us many times. That is why I ask you that just as you have done this and that you have invited me so that you can listen now this time that we can share and I can learn from you, that you do not stop doing it, you do not stop squeezing the politicians and making them see the importance that sectors like these have to develop. The importance that they have in the economy of knowledge, the importance that they have in the collaborative economy, the importance that they have in the power to put at the disposal of everyone what are advances that have generated human beings that with their illusion and their ambition what they want is that everything continues to grow and evolve on the right path. Without the systems with which you work and that you are studying today and deepening, there would never have been an advance in humanity. Of course, we have to have balance in the economic system in which we live, in the market economy, in which we have to also defend the interests of those who want to invest, to generate development and business, but an element with the power that this has for the growth absolutely democratized, horizontal and transversal, to me it really seems to me a luxury that there are so many people with so much talent, with so much illusion that you dedicate not only to this in the day to day, but also to organize seminars like these in which the politicians we can give three brushes in five minutes and above all we can listen and learn a lot from you. So I have said that it is a thousand thanks in the good time of the organization and that you continue to go ahead and press with strength. Thank you very much. I don't know if there are questions, I love them very much, let's go. I have especially come to... to that, I mean... Yes, no, I can be here up to six minus five. In fact, I'm going to be here up to six minus five, although I don't have any more questions. I will sit down and listen to what is there. I mean, don't cut for me. Okay. Well, I am president of a cooperative. The cooperative movement has been running for more than 100 years and I think it is quite aligned with the principles of the open source and all the free culture and all that. So beyond the political wills that may be in one moment or another, in the end, I mean, if all this is not transferred to the law, here we can be talking about it, but my question was in relation to why, despite the fact that now, in the new government, most of the parties are in favour of the open source, why not in the new cooperative law or in the public sector in universities, why is it not being strengthened and defending itself in the law? Yes, that's a very good question. And there is the state and the community area in Madrid. Precisely in the community of Madrid, we work in a cooperative law and social economy, which is a bit the name and the complete paragraph that was given to it, with the aim of powering institutionally that the cooperatives work and can operate. In the specific field of the open source, I think it is at the national level where a legislation should be set, as I say, that of course protects in a market economy to whom it wants to invest to get a performance without investment, I agree with that, I respect it and I form part of a market economy. But that does not take away, so that both legislatively and especially through the political action of a minister like the Ministry of Science, which I think has been taking and will have much more prominence in the coming years, can be established not only the legal system, but a system that allows all those who are through cooperatives or individually or through all the systems in which you want to contribute to that process of creation. Let's say, an open and institutionalized field in which to be able to contribute in a safe and organized way. And I think there is the Minister of Science Diana, who is also a woman who, apart from being young, was an mayor and she understands very well as anyone who has been mayor, as in my case, what a community means and what it means to share and to live in a community and that each one contributes to that community and that makes us all enjoy and grow. I think it goes in this line. All its strategy of innovation and development goes very well in the sense of trying to establish programs that allow the state to invest in supporting those cooperatives or let's say the community has something in return, which is precisely the concept of what you are working on. It has the limitations it has, and let's be honest, that the market economy has some protections that are supposed to be the obvious counterweight that you all know. But the key to get there is precisely the support of the public sector. If the public sector supports, participates and collaborates with the cooperatives and those who say this, let's say that the public sector happens to be, in terms of market economy, the owner of that collective knowledge generated and it happens to be an active capital of all Spanish society. I think that's the way to not only legislatively, but from the point of view of the development of action in the day to day, to be able to institutionalize participation in these types of initiatives and that is universalized thanks to the state that is part of it. It has its reticence, because there will be a lot of people who will say, I don't want to participate in an initiative in the state, I want to participate with other people in a system in which we advance together, but not in the lane you set me up. And that's where the state has to have the flexibility to do it as open as possible so that it can be integrated. I think that's the perspective that can help us to pass the legal limitation that the market economy establishes so that the one who invests and wants to bring income to its product. I think we should go there, the line in which we draw the paths. I don't say it's simple, but I do think it's the path. The participating state therefore collectives that knowledge and that creation. I have been involved in some processes of good, of discussion with parties, for example, to define laws related to technology, especially with free software, and it is always difficult to find interlocutors in the parties that understand the issue as sufficient as to really be able to find a joint solution. And I think that in the case of Clal, at least to a certain point, something similar is happening. In general, parties are not in economic issues, in legal issues, it is not difficult to find interlocutors, but not in technological issues. And especially when you are in technological issues, social implications, economic implications, how do you think you could improve this action? Because it happens to all parties, not only yours, I am aware of that, because I have found it, but it happens to everyone in general. It is very difficult to find people with enough knowledge or who have had time to form, or who have helped the party to form whatever, and I am now talking about the public administration, which also, especially the political parties. It is a very good question. And I am going to answer you in a way, knowing what a political party is. A political party is human beings, normal citizens, in this Spanish case, who join because they have values in common, because they have a horizon that they believe that it is the one that must walk together, and there they join lawyers, they join economists, they join, I don't know, administrators of the administration. Something is happening, so people are not joining the innovation of technology, because you are right. Let's say that in the sense of the political parties in Spain today, and I don't care practically what the party is, we have not managed as parties to seduce that they are incorporated with total naturalness, just like a lawyer or a teacher or a doctor is incorporated, because they have them in the parties that are incorporated into the world of technology. That is why my initial reflection is about the two paths. As I have the feeling that for politicians, technology is something very unknown and complex, and, as little as that, it will not influence us in our day to day of the things of the politicians. And that for the technological sector, politics is something that, if it is impossible to explain to them if they understand nothing, or that they are going to change anything, and do what they do, we are going to be able to continue working, as it is not seen by the importance and the potential that politics could have to put instruments there. I, from the malapidary phrases that I have heard, it is a meeting with start-ups, very dynamic and people who have moved a lot, one who told me, if I had to create my start-up again, I would never do it in Spain. That is the hardest thing I have heard in a... I don't know if it is the hardest, because I have already seen some things, but it generated a void and a gap, to say that if we are not understanding this, that is, if people who are in the innovation, in the avant-garde, creating what will undoubtedly be the future of our children, and we do not understand that that is what they are thinking, is that we are very lost. That is why the allegation that was said is that you should give us a hand, honestly. I, all the things that there are and forums and spaces in which I know that I am a strange creature, I mean, I am an lawyer, economist, doing business in the state or terror, you know, that this man who is going to know about technology, and he is going to worry about it. And one of the most curious things in which I participated is a forum that assembled Aspen, of technology and society, that they precisely tried to do that, led by Javier Solana, five, six, seven years ago, and in which I was the only politician who put me in that forum, and then they achieved all those startups, journalists of technology, always came from international people, sessions with a profile and a little bit more different. And it worked for me, I do not say that to learn, because I do not have the ability or the ability or the base to learn now about technology. But yes, at least to generate the doubts that I need to have when I am thinking about a political program, or who has to help me to define what Madrid we want within 15 years. And to be clear that I come here, not only because Dani is my good friend and invited me, but because as soon as he told me the subject, you said that I had to go there, listen, understand and understand that. Just as I come here and make an effort, you can ask questions that I have no idea of ​​answering you, and that is always a brownie to talk about. I also ask you and I do it where I go, that you make the effort to give us a hand also when we ask for help, because the one we have both lawyer by square meter and neither technological innovator is above all our fault, but to solve it it is also necessary that in the moments in which we ask for you to give us a hand, you are there. And I have to admit that in this last electoral process I asked for a lot of help from many people and the sector responded. And the truth is that I am very happy of how some people involved helped me to expand perspective and also start to make pedagogy in politics about this. So this is the complexity we have, the limitations I have for today and the help I ask of you humbly, the truth. Hello, good afternoon. Well, a little bit on the line of what Jesus has said and from the perspective of a public employee who has been working on these issues for 20 years they are free and what has cost him the most, sometimes it was precisely to convince the layer, not the technique, but the policy, we invite you to participate in many activities of training that we do, those of us who promote free support, I am sure that later you could translate it to these political initiatives. Exactly, exactly. Well, I thank you very much. And of course, tell me to participate, to learn and to support it because I think it is a line in which we also have to do the pedagogical policies. I mean, this is not a topic. Look, in the Assembly I discuss what I know of the Mayan policy every Thursday with Isabelia Zayuso, who is the president. I do the control and I always talk to her about education, of industry, for example, I asked her today that although with what happened yesterday and this, at the end of the debate she has gone through the issues of, well, what happened yesterday, but I always try to put those issues, education, the professional training plan that we present that is precisely going to generate skills in this field to many young people and not so young people that we believe that they must have that opportunity. And I try to put it in public debate. And I think it is something that, although in the short term, it seems less sexy than insulting someone or telling him that it is such a thing. I think in the middle term it generates much more confidence and addiction in most of society. I mean, I think that most of the population does understand that the important thing for the future of their children goes here. It goes through education, because of the model of sustainable, productive economy we want to have in the region. I think they understand it. I'm not going to open up the pages of the newspapers talking about that tomorrow, because I haven't said, I don't know what word in the congress of the deputies. I also understand that and I assume it humbly. But I think that in the middle term also politics has to do pedagogy on this so that in the end it is a topic where people see that we work on it. Because if what is on one side and on the other are politicians who don't talk about this, of course people choose it, but we have to give them the opportunity to have someone talk about it. If you watched some of the last autonomic campaigns in Madrid in the electoral debate with the only one who talked about this, it was me. And sometimes it seemed to me an extraterrestrial because there are all the typical topics that everyone knows about. And when I was talking about technology, about innovation, that Madrid really has a potential to attract talent, this is a regional canyon. Here we have the climate, the connections of high speed, a first level airport, business schools, the three of the best in the world, public universities, which with a little investment would be a total international top. We have the climate, the language, a capital region of a country like Spain that has a connection with Europe, Africa, Europe with Latin America. So we have everything so that the decision of the location of talent is Madrid. So that people are bright, powerful, who really want to contribute, would come to Madrid the opportunity, would run. And that's where I think there is the challenge and the potential of Madrid. And speaking of that, it may seem like a political course, but I also do it trying to do pedagogy, that is, where you invite me, we are delighted to go there to learn and support you.
