Sacyr iChallenges was created with the objective of identifying proposals in the ecosystem that help us respond to our challenges. Our philosophy is based on transforming these proposals into new products, services and even new business models.

During the more than five years that the program has been running, we have developed great projects all over the world. Projects that are based on some of the most disruptive technologies, that have great potential for results and allow us optimize our operation all around the world.
