San Fernando forma a 22 personas en IA con proyectos de 9,4 millones

Twenty-two people have completed in San Fernando a free six-week training course on how to apply artificial intelligence to a business or to job seeking. The projects presented at the close envisage a planned investment of about 9.4 million euros and estimated revenue of almost 1.6 million, as detailed by the Zona Franca de Cádiz. The programme, called «Emprende y Avanza: Crea tu futuro con IA, herramientas sencillas para el mundo empresarial», has been taught in person since October 5 and is co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+). It has given rise to nine business plans, 11 employability plans and two business improvement plans. Half of those who took part were women and 31.82 % were self-employed when they started. The training was aimed at three profiles: people with a business idea, those who wanted to improve their digital skills to find work and companies interested in gaining competitiveness. The content has ranged from the initial validation of a project and the definition of strategies to the practical use of artificial intelligence tools, data analysis, digital marketing, search engine positioning and financial and legal-tax management. There have also been sessions on equal opportunities, sustainability and content creation for social media.

At the closing event, held at the Centro de Congresos, three initiatives were presented. Finkea, by Carlos Martínez Vázquez, is a platform to automate administrative tasks and improve the management of properties and owners' communities. AutoParts Pro, by Andrés Ramón Alba Gaviño, uses artificial intelligence to speed up the identification and search for automotive spare parts. ServiceLog, by Daniel Marín Pérez, proposes a mobile and web application to document vehicle maintenance with a digital history and artificial intelligence tools. The event ended with the awarding of diplomas to the students. The event was addressed by the councillor for Employment Promotion and Human Resources of the San Fernando City Council, Jesús Manuel López; the financial and Blue Economy director of the Zona Franca de Cádiz, José Manuel Fedriani; and the deputy to the general director of the Fundación INCYDE, José Antonio González-Elipe Rosales. The programme is part of the agreement signed on March 3, 2026 between the Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Cádiz and the Fundación INCYDE of the Chambers of Commerce of Spain, which envisages four training actions this year co-financed by the ESF+. Before San Fernando they were held in Rota and Cádiz, and at the Incubazul building in the capital of Cádiz another 24 people took part in an initiative of similar characteristics. The fourth action of the agreement, «Emprende y Avanza: Emprendimiento, Innovación y Transformación Tecnológica», began on November 2 at Incubazul and is scheduled to end on December 11.
