DigiON Canarias, the Canary Islands Business Digitalization Fair, will return to Infecar, Gran Canaria Fairground, on April 2 and 3 to showcase the latest technological trends and explore key aspects of the digital future.

In its third edition, the event will bring together companies, professionals, and experts focused on digital transformation to share the most innovative tech solutions, with special attention given to Artificial Intelligence (AI).

As explained by Minerva Alonso, Minister of Economic Development, Industry, Commerce, and Crafts of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, DigiON is “an essential event aimed at supporting the digital transformation of businesses and, as a result, contributing to the business development of Gran Canaria.” Attendees can explore cutting-edge digital solutions, learn from other regions, and access essential resources to digitalize their businesses effectively.

The fair also facilitates connections with suppliers and technical solution providers, allowing companies to network and establish business opportunities. A dedicated exhibition area will feature 44 companies and institutions showcasing innovative products and services, including robotics, data engineering, training, and IT systems.

This year, Infecar is also introducing new spaces for pre-scheduled B2B meetings, networking, and a Speakers’ Corner where exhibitors can present their projects to professionals and businesses.
