The Regional Minister for Digitalization, Miguel López-Valverde, visited the institution together with its Vice President, Lihi Zalnik-Manor; the Executive Vice President for Research, Noam Adir; and the Executive Vice President for Innovation, Yuval Garini, with the aim of laying the groundwork for future collaborations and positioning the region as a European benchmark in cyber protection.
López-Valverde stated that “Israeli companies are key to learning from their modernization and transferring that knowledge to the protection of public administration and critical infrastructure.” The regional minister also learned about the Leshem Institute’s electromechanics research project, where he met with experts in the field to explore advanced security tools that could be applied to public services such as transport, healthcare, or energy, and which could be transferred to the Madrid Region.
