From data to decision, from decision to impact
In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, data has become the cornerstone of better decision-making, innovation, and patient outcomes.
In healthcare today, data has become one of our most valuable assets. From electronic health records and genomic research to real-time monitoring through wearables, the amount of information available is unprecedented. Yet the real challenge lies not only in collecting data, but in transforming it into meaningful insights that support clinicians, empower patients, and improve outcomes. This year’s IESE Healthcare Industry Meeting will explore how healthcare systems can move from fragmented information to actionable knowledge, laying the groundwork for better care.
Better use of data opens the door to more accurate diagnoses, earlier interventions, and truly personalized treatments. But it also raises questions of trust, governance, and responsibility. How can we ensure that interoperability works across systems? What role should regulation and ethical frameworks play in balancing innovation with privacy? And how can healthcare leaders leverage data to achieve greater efficiency while keeping patients at the center? How can we facilitate the public-private collaboration to create the best possible health ecosystem? These are some of the debates we will bring to the forefront.
The 32nd IESE Healthcare Industry Meeting, in collaboration with Deloitte, under the theme “Better Data, Better Care,” will examine how healthcare systems can unlock the full potential of data to deliver safer, more efficient, and more personalized care, and ultimately, build the foundations for healthier societies. By harnessing data wisely, we can design more sustainable healthcare systems, empower professionals with the tools they need, and give patients greater confidence in the care they receive.
Building on last year’s focus on AI, this year’s meeting will bring together global leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem — clinicians, policymakers, researchers, and industry executives — to debate how to transform data into actionable insights, foster collaboration between public and private sectors, and strengthen trust in digital health, and taking into account the growing impact of agentic AI in clinical practice and across the sector. Through dynamic panels and interactive discussions, participants will explore the opportunities and challenges of a data-driven future, and how better information can ultimately mean better health for all.

10 Years After COP21
Looking back at that 2015 Paris meeting, the global energy landscape has changed dramatically. Countries were then classified according to their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions: declining emitters such as the United States and the European Union, growing emitters such as China and India, and countries with low emissions. Today, China leads global emissions by accounting for 32%, thus exceeding the combined emissions of the US, the EU, India and Russia. Although China invests more than any other country in renewable and nuclear energy, it still has an alarming dependence on coal, which is used to generate 61% of its electricity. This reflects an “energy addition” model rather than a true transition.
Electrification is key to the energy transition, but faces major challenges. In Spain, decarbonization of electricity reached 80% in 2024, but electricity consumption has been flat for 20 years and barriers for new consumers are limiting progress. Oil’s share in the primary energy matrix is still locked in at 45%, thus hindering decarbonization goals. Defossilized liquid and gas energy vectors are therefore necessary, i.e., vectors of the same molecules, but that are bio-based or synthetic in origin. The progress made by the operators involved is relevant, but their current social acceptance is merely the result of the lack of competition. Moreover, the future of nuclear power in Spain is uncertain compared to renewed commitments in the United Kingdom and France.
At the global level, the EU finds itself caught between two major powers: the US and China. Thanks to fracking, the US is the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas, which it exports at competitive prices. Meanwhile, China combines heavy coal use with Russian gas imports, thus ensuring a robust energy supply. This situation places the EU at a disadvantage due to higher energy costs and a reliance on external resources.
However, Spain and Portugal have the potential to lead Europe’s electricity supply, provided they can improve their infrastructure and institutional trust. Nonetheless, events such as the April 2025 blackout and growing institutional distrust cast doubt on such progress.
Climate change remains a pressing challenge that calls for worldwide cooperation. While the EU moves toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, many critical technologies are still in early stages of development. Furthermore, events such as the potential weakening of the Gulf Stream system could have devastating consequences. The lack of coordinated action at the international level, especially by major emitters such as the US and China, further complicates the situation.
In this context, the energy transition should not only focus on electrification, but also on defossilization using vectors such as hydrogen and ammonia. History shows that climate has always shaped human development. Addressing this challenge therefore requires urgent, coordinated action.
Some Conclusions
All this will be discussed at our next meeting at 23 IESE Energy at IESE.

At a pivotal time for the financial industry, IESE’s 21 Banking Industry Meeting is an especially timely forum to discuss how the banking business is changing and what skills will be needed to compete successfully in the coming years. The Meeting will focus on an environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory and financial fragmentation, and pressure to find new sources of growth in a context where monetary policy, credit and the cost of risk are once again key points on institutions’ strategic agendas. All this makes the Meeting a particularly relevant event for anyone who needs to understand what is happening and how the sector’s main players are responding.
This macro-financial complexity is compounded by a profound transformation of the system’s competitive structure. The advance of private credit, debt funds and other non-bank financial intermediaries is shifting traditional boundaries between banking and markets. Meanwhile, the European conversation about the Savings and Investments Union and the future of financial integration has added a major strategic dimension. At the same time, the evolution of payments in Europe and discussions on the digital euro, tokenization and stablecoins are opening a new phase in the architecture of money, financial distribution and European monetary sovereignty. The Meeting agenda addresses all these issues with a combination of institutional vision, market perspective and executive experience in some of the sector’s most urgent discussions.
Moreover, technology can no longer be understood as a mere lever for efficiency. Generative AI, reliance on third-party technology, cybersecurity and operational resilience have become critical factors for governance, control and stability. It is therefore particularly beneficial for the Meeting to have specific sessions on systemic risks arising from cyberattacks, the implementation of AI in banking and the comprehensive management of the risk map in a highly uncertain environment. Added to this is the existence of senior executives from incumbent banks, new digital players, institutional investors and public decision-makers, thus guaranteeing a rich discussion on profitability, scale, competition, execution and value creation.
Attending IESE’s 21 Banking Industry Meeting is therefore an opportunity to gain perspective and anticipate trends at a time when banking is maneuvering through geostrategic risks, technological disruption and new avenues for growth. The Meeting’s value resides squarely on this combination of current affairs, strategic relevance and quality speakers: the event will provide a unique opportunity to compare ideas, enrich the debate and leave with a clearer vision of the challenges that will define European banking in the years to come.

All sectors of activity are facing a context of significant transformations. The most prominent factors include the uncertainty of international trade due to changing tariffs, the new, unstable global geopolitical map, fluctuations in national conditions (e.g., housing, real estate, labor and relevant regulations), tension in the financial sector (interest rates, crypto, stock market developments that include divergence between the US and Europe), and technological advances.
In addition to these general transformations, changes have also occurred in the industry as a whole: segments once believed to be exhausted are re-emerging, what were previously known as alternative segments now form part of core business, and corporate operations currently constitute a new competitive landscape. Financing is diverse, but often erratic in terms of quantities and conditions, thus adding yet another component of complexity. In addition, changes now affect people: top managers and entrepreneurs are taking on new roles and responsibilities.
In this context, real estate companies have to adapt and also prosper, and this has become everyone’s goal. Some rules are easier to identify than others, including the importance of data and data processing, using artificial intelligence as a key tool, and the need for flexibility. However, other rules are less obvious and involve working with experts and deep reflection. All this will require strengthening or restructuring the organization and finding the keys to consolidate its competitive advantages.

| 08:30-09:00 | Participant reception |
| 09:00-09:15 | Opening
• Santiago Aguirre, Chairman, Savills Spain |
| 09:15-09:45 | New Players in Labor and Real Estate Markets in Major Cities
In the past, both labor and real estate markets were more homogeneous. Spain was a country with very low levels of immigration, where the vast majority of the population lived in owner-occupied housing. Since the mid-1990s, this paradigm has changed. Immigration, the expansion of the rental market, tourism, international students, and nomadic workers have introduced housing demands that no longer follow the traditional patterns of the housing market. These changes represent a central part of the current and future challenges facing an increasingly global real estate sector. • Joan Monrás, Visiting Professor of Economics, IESE Business School, and Professor of Economics, UPF |
| 09:50-10:40 | Housing as Infrastructure
Housing should be regarded as part of essential infrastructure —just like roads, bridges, or energy networks— and as indispensable to societal well-being and economic competitiveness. Under this perspective, housing becomes an asset that supports social cohesion, talent mobility, and economic growth. Public and private developers will discuss how to redefine collaboration models to expand supply and contain prices, particularly in the country’s most dynamic areas, where demand is most intense. The session will invite participants to rethink the sector’s role in building an inclusive, sustainable, and strategic residential infrastructure • Joan Cambronero, Head of Urban Planning and Housing, Barcelona City Council Moderator: Prof. José Luis Suárez, IESE Business School |
| 10:45-11:15 | Coffee Break |
| 11:20-12:10 | The Evolution of Hospitality: A Changing Market?
The hotel and lodging sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by digitalization, new traveler preferences, and the integration of ESG criteria. Hospitality leaders will analyze how they are adapting their investment, management, and development strategies to preserve margins and remain competitive in a context of volatile demand and rising costs • Raúl González, CEO EMEA, Barceló Hotel Group Moderator: Belén Dávila, Head of International Clients & RICS, Tinsa by Accumin |
| 12:15-13:15 | Workshops
On-campus participants will be divided into two groups to discuss different agenda items. You’ll be able to indicate your workshop preference when you register. You can also inform us if you don’t want to participate. Groups will be organized on a first-come, first-served basis in terms of seating capacity to encourage active participation of attendees. The topics to be discussed are: 1. Building rehabilitation in the face of the European Directive on the Energy Efficiency of Buildings and the challenges it poses The recent European Energy Efficiency Directive raises the requirements for renovating the existing real-estate stock, driving a far-reaching technical, financial, and regulatory transformation.

Banking is not a speculative actor, but rather a stable creditor serving the real economy: families, small businesses, and large corporations rely on its financing to grow. Since its inception, the banking sector has been a key ally of public administrations in achieving high-impact social objectives such as the green transition, digitalization, anti-money laundering efforts, and asset freezes.
The normalization of interest rates has brought about a positive shift for society as a whole. It has enabled better capital allocation toward profitable investment projects, strengthened the solvency of the banking sector, increased its attractiveness to investors, and enhanced its ability to withstand external shocks. As a result, European banks are now better prepared than ever to navigate an increasingly uncertain international environment marked by trade barriers and the urgent need for reindustrialization.
In this new landscape, banking will play a decisive role in Europe’s industrial recovery, its progress toward greater strategic integration, and the modernization of its defense capabilities.
This transformation will require ambitious financing, leading to increased issuance of euro-denominated bonds, which will attract international capital and strengthen demand for our common currency.
At the same time, the digital euro project is gaining new momentum. The shift in the geopolitical landscape highlights the urgent need to reduce fragmentation in current digital payment systems and to consolidate a monetary infrastructure that enhances Europe’s strategic autonomy.
All these challenges and opportunities—including regulatory simplification, the promotion of European banking champions, the role of regional banks, the financing of common security, and geoeconomic expectations—will be analyzed at our upcoming forum, which will bring together the CEOs of Spain’s leading banks, along with senior representatives from governments, international financial institutions, academia, and industry experts.

With a new U.S. administration and a new chancellor in Berlin, shifting trade policies and geopolitical tensions require automakers and other players in mobility to reassess their production, after-sales, and recycling strategies. Meanwhile, digital transformation and electrification are redefining the skills required, intensifying the war for talent. These shifts converge with a growing demand for efficient urban logistics, where regulatory challenges, electrification, and automation are rewriting the rules of engagement. As geopolitical uncertainty collides with technological evolution, leaders in automotive and mobility at large must navigate complexity and turn disruption into opportunity.
At this year’s 39th edition of our annual meeting, we will discuss these questions while also addressing the “classic” questions about the globally changing mobility landscape. In doing so, we continue our tradition of providing a platform for senior executives, industry experts and leading academics to exchange ideas about the future of mobility and actively engage in workshops and a closing network event.

The IESE Food & Beverage Meeting, the industry’s major meeting point, is back with an edition inspired by the slogan “Field of Dreams: From Farm and Sea to Consumer.” The program is for everyone who wants to anticipate challenges and lead with vision. At the meeting, we’ll discuss geopolitical, economic and regulatory challenges in an ever-changing world. We’ll dive deep into reinventing the primary sector and understanding that sustainability starts at the source.
We’ll reflect on the future of food, agriculture and the role of innovation and artificial intelligence. We’ll also explore how leadership is focused by learning to communicate better in business and social media. We’ll hear success stories in terms of diversification, global expansion and strategic alliances that make a difference. And we’ll address the challenge of the changing talent landscape and the future of work. This must-attend meeting is for sharing, inspiration, debate and transformation. The future of food begins here.

| 09:30-09:45 | Opening
• Prof. Miquel Lladó, Academic Director of the Meeting, IESE Business School |
| 09:45-10:30 | Geopolitics and Economics in a Changing World
Where is global trade heading and what are the implications for the food industry? The future of global trade is being shaped by increasing geopolitical fragmentation that is redefining the rules of the game: friend-shoring, regional blocs, tariffs, and agreements like Mercosur are transforming supply chains and posing new challenges to ensure food sovereignty. In this polarized landscape, it is crucial to analyze how global changes are impacting the food sector and what local decisions are needed to adapt to this new era. • Ana Aguilar, Chief Economist, Deloitte Moderator: Prof. Miquel Lladó, IESE Business School |
| 10:30-11:15 | Challenges of the Spanish Food Industry
Is the industry prepared to meet ambitious targets in record time? In 2023, Spain recycled only 41.3% of single-use plastic bottles—well below the 70% required by law. This shortfall makes it necessary to implement a deposit return system (DRS) before November 2026. Similar to traditional glass bottle return schemes, this system will cover plastic bottles, cans, and cartons, aiming to improve packaging recovery through financial incentives. The implementation faces challenges such as resistance from certain industries and the need for proper infrastructure. However, the DRS is expected to significantly boost recycling rates and encourage greater environmental responsibility among both consumers and businesses. • Jose Miguel Herrero, Director General of Food, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Moderator: Enrique Domínguez, Partner, Deloitte |
| 11:15-11:45 | Coffee-Break |
| 11:45-12:30 | Driving Growth Through Innovation, Diversification, Global Expansion and Strategic Partnerships
To drive business growth, five key areas stand out: innovation, which is essential to maintain competitiveness through new technologies and products; diversification, which helps mitigate risks and tap into new markets; global expansion, which provides access to new customers and economies of scale; strategic partnerships, which facilitate access to shared resources and knowledge; and sustainability, which not only responds to social demands but also opens up new business opportunities. Integrating these strategies with a coherent vision is essential to achieving sustained and competitive growth. • Mar Doñate, Vice President of Transformation, Bimbo EMEA and GM of the North Africa Region, Grupo Bimbo Moderator: Manuel Barberá, Managing Director, Head of F&B, Corporate and Investment Banking, CaixaBank |
| 12:30-13:15 | The Talent Equation in the Future of Work
The roundtable will address the challenges of attracting and retaining talent in companies located outside major cities, highlighting innovative solutions such as remote work, which helps overcome geographical barriers and provides access to a broader workforce. Strategies to create attractive work environments will be explored, including the implementation of digital tools that support collaboration and professional development, as well as the promotion of a corporate culture that values well-being and flexibility. Additionally, initiatives that combine practical training and career guidance to improve employability in less urbanized regions will be discussed. • Gonzalo Iturmendi, GLOBAL Director PEOPLE Centers of Excellence, Cosentino Moderator: Rocio Abella, Partner, Deloitte |
| 13:15-14:00 | A Focus on Leaders: Improving Personalized Communication

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by enabling more precise diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and enhancing operational efficiency. AI-powered tools are transforming the way healthcare professionals approach patient care, utilizing machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately. From early detection of diseases through medical imaging to predicting patient outcomes with predictive analytics, AI is reshaping how care is delivered, ultimately improving both quality and accessibility. The integration of AI into healthcare systems is not just a technological advancement but a fundamental shift in the way we understand and approach medicine.
One of the most significant contributions of AI in healthcare is its potential to help build an ecosystem of value-based care. Moving away from a volume-based model, where care is measured by the number of procedures performed, value-based healthcare focuses on patient outcomes and long-term health improvements. AI can drive this shift by providing actionable insights from data, improving decision-making, and optimizing patient management. By enabling personalized care and identifying high-risk patients early, AI can help healthcare systems move towards preventive measures and more effective interventions, reducing costs and improving patient satisfaction.
Prevention is another key area where AI can create substantial impact. With an aging population and the growing burden of chronic diseases, prevention is more important than ever. AI technologies, such as wearable devices and remote monitoring systems, can continuously gather health data, enabling real-time monitoring and early interventions. This shift from reactive to proactive healthcare empowers patients to take control of their health and enables healthcare providers to intervene before conditions worsen. AI’s ability to predict health risks, track lifestyle behaviors, and provide tailored advice has the potential to significantly reduce the prevalence of preventable diseases, creating a healthier society overall.
Under the lemma “AI in healthcare” IESE Healthcare will reflect on the imminent challenges, innovations and unparalleled opportunities that will shape the future of healthcare. We aim to explore key questions about the future of care, the impact on healthcare professionals, technology´s role, disruptive technologies in the horizon and the delicate balance between the data revolution and privacy protection. It will also bring together top experts from the sector to think about how the different agents in healthcare can work together to continue building a healthier society while leveraging the enormous potential of AI.
