Angel investing isn’t just about picking great startups — it’s about building a portfolio that can withstand uncertainty and compound over time.

In “Portfolio Power: How Smart Angels Reduce Risk Through Diversification,” we’ll break down how experienced angel investors think about diversification across stages, sectors, geographies, and check sizes — and why portfolio construction is just as important as deal selection.

This session is designed for current and aspiring angel investors who want to move beyond intuition and learn practical strategies to reduce risk, manage exposure, and increase the odds of strong outcomes over the long run. Expect real examples, honest trade-offs, and actionable insights you can apply to your own investment strategy.

El 19 de febrero de 2026 tendrá lugar la presentación del Informe de la BioRegión de Cataluña 2025 en el Auditorio l’Illa de Barcelona.

El evento contará con representación institucional del Gobierno de Cataluña, una presentación de los principales indicadores de la BioRegión y varias mesas redondas. Publicado desde 2009 por Biocat, es el informe oficial y de referencia del sector de las ciencias de la vida y la salud en Cataluña.

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup on Monday, March 2 at 7:00 PM.

IEBS Business School organiza el Trends Summit 2026, un evento online que se celebrará el jueves 26 de febrero a las 18:00 h (hora España) y que pondrá el foco en las tendencias clave que ya están impactando en empresas y profesionales.

El encuentro reunirá a especialistas en economía, inteligencia artificial, talento y marketing, de KPMG, Metricool, knowmad mood, Pwc, entre otros, que compartirán cómo están interpretando el contexto actual y qué decisiones estratégicas se están tomando hoy con una mirada puesta en 2026.

Un espacio para entender el contexto y tomar decisiones con criterio

El mundo ya no cambia por ciclos previsibles, sino por señales económicas, tecnológicas, sociales y culturales que ya están marcando el rumbo de los próximos años. En este escenario, las organizaciones y profesionales que avanzan no son quienes intentan predecir el futuro, sino quienes leen antes el contexto y conectan tendencias con decisiones reales.

​Let’s rethink security for the quantum era together! 

​Quantum computing isn’t just a breakthrough in computing, it’s a turning point for security.

​Not tomorrow, not in a movie, but fast enough to start questioning the assumptions behind today’s protection models.

• ​What happens to the security frameworks we rely on today?

• ​When should companies start preparing?

• ​Is post-quantum security urgency or overreaction?

​We’re hosting an evening to explore these questions in a clear, engaging way.

​You’ll hear from Jordi Puiggalí, Co-founder & CTO of Secrets Vault, a recognized expert in cybersecurity and cryptography with more than 30 years of experience across IT, cryptography and blockchain. Jordi has authored 50+ research publications and holds 50 patents in cryptographic protocols and secure technologies, with notable work in areas such as election security and secure digital systems.

​He’ll explain what the quantum transition means from a security perspective, why it matters for real-world infrastructures, and how organizations can approach it with strategy rather than fear.

​What we’ll explore:

• ​ Why quantum computing reshapes the future of cybersecurity

• ​ The real risk behind “harvest now, decrypt later”

• ​ Where post-quantum security standards stand today

• ​ What this means for data protection, digital trust and long-term resilience

• ​ How to start preparing without disrupting your current security architecture

​No hype, no fear-mongering, just a smart conversation about what’s next!

​Agenda:

​19:00 – Welcome

​19:30 – Security talk by Jordi

​20:00 – Roundtable (TBC)

​20:30 – Drinks & networking

​Join us for quantum beers, they’re full and empty until you take a sip!

​Register now for a smart, relaxed evening with people who care about where security is heading with good conversations, great company and a few surprises along the way (limited availability). Registration is required to access the location.

AI is already in the investment room. The question is whether it’s helping your judgment or quietly inheriting old biases.

Yes, AI boosts speed and productivity. It can even surface blind spots. But it’s not neutral. With only 1 in 7 VC investors in Europe being women and just ~2% of funding going to women-founded startups, AI will copy yesterday’s patterns unless we tell it otherwise.

This intimate online workshop is about using AI as a tool, not a crystal ball.

👩‍💼 Exclusive to women investors

⏳ Registrations close on 16 February 2026

Hosted by Serena Leka, PhD Fellow and Innovation Consultant in collaboration with EIT Community Supernovas.

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Sony AI, on Wednesday, February 25th.

🎙️Transforming scientific literature into discovery at Sony AI

The speaker will be Miquel Ferrer (ML/AI Engineer at Sony AI).

SUMMARY

In this talk we will gain insight into how AI can act as a bridge across domains, transforming the overwhelming scale of modern research into a proactive engine for discovery.

In an era where thousands of papers are published daily, even the most specialized experts struggle to stay afloat. However, the sheer volume of global research represents more than a management challenge—it is a massive, untapped resource for discovery.

In this session, we will explore how AI can transform the vast body of scientific literature into an interconnected system of concepts and entities. Moving beyond simple search and efficiency, we discuss how modeling the evolution of knowledge enables us to uncover “scientifically plausible links”—hidden connections across domains, such as biology and medicine, that are supported by data but have not yet been articulated in print.

By leveraging AI to bridge these silos, we can move from managing what is known to predicting the next frontier of scientific breakthroughs.

This event is for you if you’re in: AI/ML, Data & Analytics, NLP/LLMs, Knowledge Graphs/Ontologies, Search/IR, MLOps, or Data Engineering and want to turn research into actionable discovery.

With time for a dynamic Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.
