Pablo Nadal, director of Netexplo Spain, stated: “After the pandemic we have discovered new work models that put existing ones under pressure. Before which we must ask ourselves: what can we do with this autonomy? The metaverse and web3 have led us towards new rules, inspired by videogames, what we know as the ‘fantasphere’. How should we show our identity in this combination of reality and fantasy? We must become aware of these possibilities, to reorient technology towards our purpose and, in this sense, the InnovaRH awards are an initiative that allows us to achieve this: putting technology at the service of emotional well-being. We are very proud to have celebrated this third edition and we are already thinking about the next one”.
