The situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the lockdown of the population and the forced closure of businesses, has put many companies in an unprecedented situation. At the same time, staying at home has reinforced the fundamental role that technology plays in our lives, accelerating the trends that we hoped to incorporate in a much longer period of time. However, only 14% of SMBs have a digitization plan. The keys to recovery and to face future challenges are to accelerate a transformation that allows companies to diversify their services, find new sources of income and be prepared for a new normality where digital will be essential. 

For this reason, Google Spain has announced its collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism to launch 'Impulso Digital', a campaign that seeks to support Spanish companies in their digitization, especially SMBs, in addition to promoting national and international tourism and digital training.

The project also includes the "Digital Impulse platform with Google" (link: https://grow.google/intl/es), which brings together free tools, guides and training aimed at the development of companies and professionals on a single website.

This initiative is part of the commitment that Google has announced this July 1 (link: https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/grow-with-google/free-tools-and-training-help-economic-recovery-europe-middle-east-and-africa/)  to help 10 million people and companies to go digital and grow in Europe, the Middle East and Africa over the next 18 months.  

URSO Hotel is located in a privileged enclave between the central districts of Chamberí, Tribunal, and Chueca. The hotel is a historic building built by José María Mendoza Ussía. This edifice integrates the royal character of the bourgeois architecture of Madrid during the 20th-century, with the modernity and comfort of a modern luxury hotel.

 

The building was home to the renowned company “Papelera Española”. The edifice maintains the neoclassical elegance with its towers, corner chamfers or the classic viewpoints that support the noble balcony. Its history can also be felt in the interior spaces, with original features such as the central patio, the colourful stained-glass windows, the decorative tiles, the library, the marble floors, and the wooden walls.

Fundación Prodis faces the great challenge of continuing its work in support of people with intellectual disabilities, at a time when the circumstances arising from Covid 19 threaten the survival of some of its programs and services. For this reason, it has launched a fundraising campaign, "60" micro for one micro donation", in which young people are the protagonists.

 

We want to continue working for a world in which, whatever our abilities, we learn from each other, to achieve a fuller life and a more just society.
