Last week, the project consortium met in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to conduct a series of intensive training sessions, during which the modules, videos, translations and questionnaires for the MOBIpreneur course were reviewed and refined. This course is designed to help entrepreneurs integrate artificial intelligence (AI), automation and other digital technologies into their business projects.
During three days of intense collaboration, the project partners worked to improve every aspect of the course, ensuring that the content is accessible, interactive, and relevant to today’s entrepreneurs. MOBIpreneur is aimed at adults who want to take the next step in their professional development, using technology as a key tool to overcome the challenges of entrepreneurship in the 21st century.
One of the main innovations tested in the training were advanced digital tools, such as the SheBot AI chatbot and the WhatsApp Automation Tool. These tools are integrated with uQualio, an e-learning platform that enables a more personalised, interactive and accessible learning experience for users. These technologies allow entrepreneurs to optimise their processes, improve customer interaction and make more informed decisions, all from a single digital platform.
Calatayud revives its Andalusian past through the new platform presented by Developia, a digital space that combines history, technology, and tourism and is part of the Experiencia Andalusí project.
The presentation event, held in Calatayud, brought together representatives from the tourism sector, researchers, and professionals in the field of cultural heritage. During the day, the different services that make up this innovative platform, created in collaboration with other project partners, were showcased.
Thanks to the participation of these entities, a unique digital space has been created where visitors and citizens can connect with the Andalusian heritage of the region through immersive and informative experiences. The content presented included historical and heritage research, 3D recreations of Andalusian heritage, and a series of podcasts narrating the most relevant episodes of Andalusian history in Calatayud.
This project reinforces Developia’s commitment to technological innovation and the enhancement of cultural heritage, contributing to the creation of new ways of understanding and enjoying historical and experiential tourism.
As part of the Andalusí Experience project, we have conducted exhaustive historical research focused on analyzing and documenting the Andalusí legacy in the Calatayud region. This work has been based on the compilation and study of historical sources, both documentary and archaeological, in order to reconstruct the Andalusí presence in the region and its evolution over the centuries with scientific rigor.
The research delves into the origins of Calatayud as one of the oldest Arab medinas on the Iberian Peninsula, founded around the 8th century, and analyzes its strategic role as a political, military, and economic center within Al-Andalus. The analysis has been completed with a review of archaeological findings, numismatic evidence, and the contextualized interpretation of literary sources and toponymy.
This research represents a significant contribution to regional and national historical knowledge, helping to highlight the cultural, heritage, and social importance of the Andalusian past in Aragon. The results obtained allow for a deeper understanding of the historical process of the region and reinforce the value of this heritage as a reference point for identity and a source of historical study.
The Developia Foundation has completed the delivery of the population analysis for the Tourism Intelligence System (SIT) of the Calatayud Community Region within the framework of the Destination Tourism Sustainability Plan (PSTD), financed by Next Generation EU funds.
The work, delivered in September 2025, represents a key step in the modernisation of the regional tourism sector.
The project has developed a dual methodology that combines the study of tourism supply — contacting 245 entities and obtaining 183 effective responses — and the analysis of demand through face-to-face surveys in the main tourist enclaves and digital dissemination.
In addition, specific buyer persons have been developed to represent the most relevant tourist profiles, including the development of 17 tourist routes considered to be the most popular, structured into five thematic sections: Water Triangle, Calatayud Heritage and Legend, Water and Fruit, Water and Mountains, and Mudejar Art and Clay.
The results have been fully adapted to the SIT CONECTUR Calatayud digital environment, transforming the information into visual and downloadable resources that facilitate consultation by citizens, tourists and entrepreneurs in the sector.
