ICON Multimedia participated last Thursday 26th of April in the first General Assembly of Railway Innovation Hub, which was hold in the Railway Technologies Center of Málaga. In this way, it joins this private initiative whose purpose is the creation of a railway innovation space with a private and self-sustainable management model.

The international experience of ICON Multimedia in the railway sector joins that of other companies such as Thales, Ferrovial or Deimos, among others, to promote technology through collaborative R & D projects, the promotion of entrepreneurship and the provision of specialized services.

The creation of this railway hub is framed as part of the innovation plan for transport and infrastructure of the Ministry of Development, which includes initiatives that contemplate a new innovation model.

 

On 8th, March, due to the International Women’s Day, ICON Multimedia held a team building day in order to contribute that all the employees develop and strengthen attitudes, knowledge, values and practices that promote gender equality, with special emphasis on non-sexist communication.

This activity was held, through which the participants carried out the elaboration of creative “tapas”, which were later judged by an expert jury in cooking and gender equality.

The aim of this dynamic was to reinforce a new framework for action and management in which equality of opportunities between women and men is a key aspect of the company culture, while at the same time seeking to increase motivation towards the goal of “total equality” of all the members of the company, and the development of fluid, receptive and non-sexist communication.
