Indra and Esne sign a partnership agreement to incorporate the latest technologies in training curriculums

Indra, the leading Spanish multinational consulting and technology firm and one of the main players in Europe and Latin America, and ESNE, a university centre specialised in design, innovation and technology, have signed a partnership agreement to promote the adoption of the latest information and communication technologies in training curriculums and to help young creators being trained at the centre learn about them. The final objective is to support talent and promote creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship among the university students focused on cloud computing, ubiquitous computing, digital animation films, video games and multimedia, as well as other fields that are established.

The agreement between both parts establishes the basis with which ESNE and Indra will cooperate in programmes that help provide the technological infrastructure as well as various teaching programmes that promote the design and use of new technologies. Specific actions include collaborating in the design of academic proposals, awarding grants for research projects, student training through internships, conferences and master classes, and participating in the launch of strategies and actions that promote academic and research efforts. The agreement will also allow Indra professionals to benefit from special conditions for completing qualifications offered by ESNE.

Rafael Díaz, Executive Director of ESNE, Jose Luis Angoso, Director of Innovation at Indra, and Carlos Fernández, Director of University Relations at Indra, signed the agreement. The alliance, which aims to establish a closer relationship between both institutions, began recently when the Talent, Innovation, Strategy Senior Vice President, Emma Fernández, participated in the Plan Anima Talento (Encourage Talent Plan), an initiative organised by ESNE with the aim of conveying positive values to university students in a time of negative stereotypes through the use of presentations and speeches by renowned professionals with extensive business experience.
