MBIT School has been leading artificial intelligence and data training in Spain for more than a decade, and today we proudly share the interview with our CEO, Enrique Navas, published in the magazine Executive Sector. In it, he reviews the milestones of our trajectory, the new challenges of the sector and how we are accompanying companies and professionals in adapting to the new regulatory and technological framework. An essential reading for those who want to understand the role of specialized technical training in the country's digital transformation.

Enrique Serrano, president of Tinamica, MBIT, of the AMETIC AI Committee, vice-president of Innova IRV and GAIA-X Executive Board, together with other partners who lead large companies oriented to the development of advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence, founded the School more than 10 years ago with the initial purpose of incorporating into their professional teams the competencies and abilities necessary to undertake real projects for the implementation of AI and Data, and the fact is that the market, as is currently the case, lacked this type of talent trained to respond to the challenges faced by our companies. The purpose of MBIT continues to be the training of talent that leads the deployment of AI and emerging technologies in our organizations with a training offer of the highest quality aligned with the real challenges of the market.
MBIT's positioning has been built on three fundamental pillars. First of all, specialization: from the beginning, we decided to focus exclusively on these disciplines, which has allowed us to develop a depth and a quality of training that is difficult to match. Secondly, the direct connection with the business fabric. Our programs are designed in collaboration with leading companies, ensuring a constant alignment between what we teach and what the market really needs. This has made MBIT a strategic partner for many organizations. And, thirdly, the commitment to academic excellence and innovation. We have created an ecosystem where talent is formed, connected and evolves, with a clear vision: to prepare the professionals who will lead the digital transformation of our country.
The programs we design at MBIT respond to market needs and have a high technical component. We fled the consideration of a business school and positioned ourselves as a technical school. Throughout their programs, our students are compiling a dossier with resolved consolidation projects that guarantee their expertise and know-how in these matters to third parties.
In recent years, companies have intensified their commitment to profiles with technical expertise and strategic vision. The priority is no longer just to incorporate experts in data analysis or automation, but to train leaders capable of applying these capabilities in complex business contexts. The most requested areas include applied artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data-based decision-making. In addition, adaptability and continuous learning are increasingly valued. Therefore, companies are looking for programs that combine technical depth with transversal skills such as communication, critical thinking and digital leadership. At MBIT, we design training itineraries in close collaboration with these entities, ensuring that the contents evolve at the pace of their real challenges. This direct connection allows us to anticipate trends and prepare professionals ready to lead the transformation from day one.
The new Al ACT marks a before and after in the way in which organizations must develop, deploy and monitor AI-based systems. At MBIT, we see this as an opportunity to reinforce the strategic role of training in this new regulatory context. At MBIT we have designed programs in”Data Governance, AI and Data Spaces“and”Specialist in the European AI Regulation“and before working on the deployment of these elements that will promote the competitiveness of our companies, we must be aware of how we should operate in accordance with current legislation. First, because not everything goes and, second, because we will run the risk after third-party audits of facing serious fines if we don't comply with the standard.
Large companies are being very interested and dynamic in these integrations. SMEs are moving at a different pace. At MBIT we work with companies helping them on this path with tailor-made projects where we integrate ad hoc training, depending on the existing level of integration and the level of competence of their teams. In turn, we work to identify procedures and areas that can incorporate these tools to improve the quality and efficiency of the services provided, thus increasing the company's competitiveness and sustainability.
As was the case with the application of the GDPR, at MBIT we consider that, in addition to jurists, technical profiles have a great opportunity to occupy this space as guarantors of the application of the Act Act. Our program is aimed at both profiles. We offer the necessary tools to promote the integration of AI in organizations in accordance with the standard and, in turn, we work on acquiring the necessary competencies to be able to successfully face third-party audits.
What initially attracted me to MBIT was its unique ability to anticipate market needs and train talent with a real impact on the digital transformation of companies. In an environment where technology is advancing at high speed, MBIT has been able to position itself as a reference in specialized training in data and AI, with a rigorous, practical academic proposal connected to the business world. What convinced me was the human team: a group of professionals with a clear vision, generous, committed to excellence and a culture of constant innovation.
Mbit works like a start-up with everything that implies. We work tenaciously and consciously so that our students and the companies we support receive the best training service, the one that acts as a catalyst for changes that allow us to transform realities. Our short and medium-term strategic objectives focus on consolidating MBIT as the benchmark for technical training in AI, data and emerging technologies. We want to continue to be the bridge between talent and real market needs, anticipating the changes that are already transforming the economy and employment. In the medium term, in turn, we are promoting experiences such as MBIT University, with which we intend to increase the value we bring to society and ensure sustainable growth.
I have had the opportunity to work in very diverse environments, from large corporations to entrepreneurial projects, and each stage has left me valuable learning that I apply in my daily life. In the educational field, I have confirmed that training is not only about transmitting content, but about inspiring, accompanying and generating community. I have found that technology, on its own, does not transform anything: people do it. That's why, in this new responsibility at MBIT, I focus on building bridges between technical knowledge and real impact on organizations. That actively listening to the market, anticipating trends and surrounding yourself with talented and purposeful teams is key to generating sustainable value. That collective success outweighs individual success. I am responsible for generating and coordinating high-performance teams, making all their members feel empowered, with internalized roles and responsibilities and jointly involved in achieving the objectives.
These initiatives represent a paradigm shift in the way we approach training and employability. It is no longer just a matter of acquiring technical knowledge, but of building communities of practice where learning is enhanced through collaboration, the exchange of experiences and the development of references. These communities foster motivation, accelerate the learning curve, and reinforce a sense of belonging to an innovative ecosystem. In addition, they allow us to identify talent with a more holistic approach, where technical skills are complemented by competencies such as leadership, communication and resilience. For companies, participating in these networks represents a strategic opportunity: direct access to highly qualified profiles, aligned with real business challenges and with an impact-oriented mentality. In a market where talent is scarce, these initiatives make a difference.
Cultivate curiosity, discipline and the ability to learn continuously. AI isn't just a technology, it's a new language for solving complex problems, and mastering it requires both technical depth and understanding of the impact it generates on society and business. Beyond knowledge in algorithms or programming, what will make the difference in the market will be qualities such as critical thinking, ethics applied to technology, the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and the ability to translate data into strategic decisions. At MBIT School, we believe that the talent of the future will not only be technical, but hybrid: professionals capable of connecting Artificial Intelligence with business reality, with vision, responsibility and purpose.
