Los futuros de los índices bursátiles estadounidenses están en verde. Siguen ayudando esas crecientes expectativas de que la Reserva Federal recorte los tipos de interés este año. Además, hoy se digiere una nueva oleada de beneficios empresariales. Advanced Micro Devices pierde un 6%. El fabricante de chips decepciona men ingresos. Lo mismo Super Micro. Arrastran a perfiles similares como Dell Technologies y HP Enterprise. Disney, Uber y McDonald's también han rendido cuentas. El daño de la guerra comercial de Estados Unidos en los resultados de Yum Brands, Caterpillar y Marriott , así como una serie de datos económicos débiles empujaron a Wall Street a la baja el martes. En Bolsas europeas, y dentro del Ibex 35, las mayores subidas son para Repsol, Sabadell y Telefónica. Lideran los recortes Rovi, IAG y Grifols. El análisis es de Víctor Álvarez, de Tressis.

El sector aéreo europeo ha consolidado en el primer semestre de 2025 una recuperación que va más allá de los buenos resultados económicos. España, en particular, ha conseguido destacar por su avance en sostenibilidad operativa, al tiempo que los tres grandes grupos europeos —IAG, Lufthansa y Air France-KLM— han cerrado el periodo con beneficios históricos y una demanda al alza.Soltour refuerza su apuesta por el turismo experiencial con la incorporación de Jumbo como nuevo proveedor exclusivo de excursiones, actividades y experiencias en algunos de sus principales destinos como Baleares, Canarias, México, República Dominicana, Jamaica, Nueva York, Cabo Verde, Marruecos y Túnez.Este verano, marcado por temperaturas extremas, está consolidando una nueva tendencia entre los viajeros españoles: las coolcations o "vacaciones frescas". Según eDreams, el 79% de los turistas cambiaría sus planes ante un clima adverso, lo que ha impulsado la popularidad de destinos con temperaturas moderadas. Ciudades del norte como Oviedo, Bilbao, Santander y A Coruña registran fuertes incrementos en búsquedas, reflejando un giro hacia viajes más sostenibles y alejados del calor sofocante.Open Revenue Consulting fue finalista en los Green UK Awards por su programa ‘The PLEDGE on Food Waste', desarrollado junto a Marriott International, que busca reducir el desperdicio alimentario. Además, impulsó el primer evento “Zero Food Waste to Landfill” en Europa, celebrado en el Global Revenue Forum Madrid 2025, destacando en la gestión sostenible de residuos en la industria turística.Qatar Airways incrementará este invierno la frecuencia de sus vuelos a más de 15 destinos internacionales, incluyendo la conexión entre Madrid y Doha, que pasará a tener 17 frecuencias semanales. La aerolínea busca reforzar su conectividad global ante el aumento de la demanda.

Pepe Baynat, Director De Bolsas Y Futuros.com, analiza la situación actual de los mercados y analizamos el último dato de Estados Unidos: el viernes tuvimos el dato oficial de paro en Estados Unidos y las cifras fueron poco halagüeñas. Se han creado 73.000 empleos cuando el mercado esperaba unos 100.000. Las revisiones de los últimos meses han provocado que se cuentan 258.000 empleos menos. Todo ha provocado el despido de la comisaría de la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de Estados Unidos, Erika L. McEntarfer por parte de Donald Trump. “ “Hemos tenido señales bajistas con el paro pero podría ser el inicio de algo más fuerte”, asegura el analista. ¿Cómo está el mercado español? ¿Es buen momento para entrar en IAG? “IAG me parece un valor interesante pero no para entrar a cualquier precio”, nos confiesa el experto. El viernes conocimos sus resultados, donde la compañía superó las expectativas de los analistas al alcanzar un beneficio neto de 1.301 millones de euros, lo que representa un incremento del 43,8% respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior. También han crecido los ingresos, que ascendieron a 15.906 millones de euros, un aumento interanual del 8%. Este resultado se ha logrado gracias a un crecimiento del 2,7% en la facturación por asiento-kilómetro ofertado (AKO). ¿En qué compañías europeas puede poner el foco el mercado europeo? ¿Cuál es la situación de Ferrari? “Ferrari era un valor que estaba bastante bien pero se nos ha venido abajo, con mucha fuerza, con mucha fortaleza, y esto es peligroso”, asegura Pepe Baynat. Además, añade que “era uno de los valores de lujo que estaba aguantando bien, en la media de 200”. El problema, para él, es que el jueves perdió el punto que no tenía que perder, que es el nivel de los 394,7.

Entre un Zuckerberg qui promet une révolution avec les super-IA personnelles, un Sam Altman qui parle de « moment historique » avec GPT-5, et la Chine qui affiche sa puissance à la World AI Conference, la guerre des récits autour de l'intelligence artificielle bat son plein.

Dans cet épisode, nous explorons une question vertigineuse : l'intelligence artificielle générale (IAG) pourrait-elle propulser la croissance économique mondiale à des niveaux jamais vus - 20 à 30% par an, voire plus ?Points clés abordés :Le changement de paradigme économiquePassage d'une croissance limitée par la population à une croissance tirée par les idéesL'IA comme "machine à innover" autonome et en accélération constanteModèle d'Epoch AI : automatiser seulement 1/3 des tâches d'innovation pourrait dépasser 20% de croissanceLe débat entre optimistes et sceptiquesLes optimistes voient une automatisation massive de la production ET de l'innovationLes sceptiques comme Daron Acemoglu prévoient un impact modeste (1-2% du PIB sur 10 ans)La condition clé : l'IA doit pouvoir améliorer la technologie elle-mêmeLes implications sociales et économiquesRisque de "redondance massive" des travailleursConcentration extrême des richesses vers les propriétaires d'IAParadoxe de l'"abondance sélective" : biens IA quasi-gratuits vs services humains hors de prixLe casse-tête financierParadoxe d'investissement : besoin de 25 trillions de dollars vs baisse de l'épargneTaux d'intérêt potentiellement très élevés selon la théorie de RamseyMarchés financiers actuels étrangement calmes face à ces perspectivesLa grande question finale Les véritables limites au progrès pourraient-elles devenir... nous-mêmes ? Notre lenteur institutionnelle, nos réglementations et nos résistances au changement pourraient constituer le dernier goulot d'étranglement face à cette révolution technologique. Hébergé par Acast.

Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC podcast, where Andreas Munk Holm and Jeppe Høier explore the cutting edge of European venture capital. Today's guest is Nacho Tovar, who is the Group Innovation Director at IAG. IAG—the airline group behind British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling.Together, they unpack how one of the world's most complex legacy industries is retooling itself through deep tech, startup collaboration, and CVC-backed transformation—from synthetic fuels to quantum AI.This is the CVC playbook for aviation, straight from the cockpit.

In this episode, we speak with Etosha Cave, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Twelve, who shares how the carbon transformation company harnesses carbon dioxide from industrial waste streams to produce efuels. Twelve is one of the visionary companies featured in our new book Sustainability in the Air: Volume Two. You can learn more about the book and order a copy here.Cave discusses:Twelve's carbon transformation technology that mimics photosynthesis, taking CO2 from industrial emissions, air, and landfills, combining it with water and renewable electricity through metal catalysts to create jet fuel and other products.Strategic partnerships with airlines like Alaska Airlines and International Airlines Group (IAG) and tech companies like Microsoft, leveraging growing consumer demand for carbon-neutral travel solutions and the scalability advantages of power-to-liquids.Twelve's Moses Lake, Washington plant location choice, capitalising on abundant hydropower, state incentives, geographic proximity to partners, and the emerging cleantech hub.How the company navigates political risks around climate incentives by focusing on carbon management as a bipartisan issue that creates jobs and economic value.Cave also shares her vision for a future with completely closed carbon cycles and explains how Twelve aims to transform waste CO2 into the building blocks for everything from consumer products to aviation fuel.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Nicholas Flanders, Co-Founder & CEO of Twelve, who discusses the crucial role of clean technology in addressing environmental challenges.

El euro cotiza estable y los rendimientos de los bonos se deslizan a la baja. Los futuros sobre principales índices estadounidenses adelantan pocos movimientos en la apertura. Veremos si palabras de Powell dejan algo de volatilidad. Son sobre regulación y supervisión bancaria. Nada, en principio, de tipos de interés, inflación o empleo. Analizamos todo el entorno con Manuel Pinto. En Bolsa española, y dentro del Ibex 35, lideran las subidas Solaria, las Acciona y Enagas. La última ha presentado resultados. Al frente de las caídas están IAG, Puig e Indra.

Según agencias de viajes, la disminución se debe principalmente a la tensión política y comercial del gobierno de Donald Trump y los estrictos controles fronterizos, afectando especialmente la demanda en la temporada de verano.En junio, el empleo en el sector turístico aumentó un 1,9 % respecto al mismo mes de 2024, sumando 56.304 nuevos afiliados y alcanzando los 2,95 millones de ocupados, según Turespaña.

Es evidente que un arancel del 30% a los productos europeos, salvo que Bruselas lo revierta antes del 1 de agosto, ha sorprendido negativamente a los mercados. Pero sin el pánico de tiempos postreros. El presidente de Estados Unidos ha insistido este lunes en que su país ha sido "estafado" durante décadas en materia comercial y militar. Las pérdidas son suaves en Wall Street. El Nasdaq las resiste pese a la debilidad en semiconductores. Sube Fastenal tras resultados que han superado las expectativas. En ausencia de datos económicos importantes, los inversores se hacen eco de declaraciones de miembros de la Reserva Federal.

You can learn more about the book and order a copy here.Robinson discusses:How IAG leveraged European incentives, Heathrow Airport programmes, and emissions trading schemes to make SAF economically viable whilst partnering with corporate customers like DHL and Microsoft to fund the price gap.Why 52% of airlines globally still haven't used any SAF, exploring how the industry's safety culture can create resistance to technological change and first-mover disadvantage.The cultural and policy differences driving higher SAF adoption rates in Europe versus North How regulatory backlash against sustainability claims can discourage innovation and communication about genuine progress.The role of book-and-claim systems in optimising SAF deployment whilst developing production capacity in emerging markets across Latin America, Asia, and Africa.Why the industry needs both elements – collaboration to build infrastructure foundations and healthy competition to drive innovation.Note: This interview was recorded in August 2024.

This week host Ciarán Hancock is joined by Willie Walsh, the director general of IATA, the Geneva-based representative group for the airline industry.Willie will be known to you as the Irish man who was a high-profile chief executive of both Aer Lingus and British Airways.He then became head of IAG, which is the parent group to both of those airlines plus some Spanish carriers, including Iberia.He's now in charge of IATA, with his contract set to run until 2027.You'll hear Willie talk about airline profits and whether air fares are likely to go up or down in the near term.He spoke about aviation's role in reducing harmful carbon emissions and the chances of a climate-friendly biofuel being developed for commercial use.He gives his view on why emerging markets such as India and burgeoning economies in Africa are entitled to grow their airline industries and passenger traffic as they become wealthier.He also expresses his frustrations with the inefficient way air traffic control is managed in Europe.And Willie explains why, in his view, Ireland has become something of a laughing stock on the international stage over the legal battles being fought around the Dublin Airport passenger cap. In his view, this is hindering growth here and jeopardising foreign direct investment. And the 63-year-old talks about his plans for retirement, which could include Italian wine.

In this episode, Peter breaks down a major announcement from Iagon, a decentralised cloud storage provider building on Cardano, which has seen its IAG token spike in price following news of a collaboration with CloudCourt and advisory support from the Ford Motor Company. The partnership explores a proof of concept aimed at storing sensitive legal data using decentralised infrastructure—a key use case for compliance-heavy industries.The solution being tested combines off-chain encrypted data storage with on-chain access control and audit trails, helping meet stringent data protection regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. This hybrid design ensures data sovereignty (e.g. storing data within national borders), robust security, and long-term cost savings compared to traditional centralised solutions. The concept is particularly relevant for law firms and large corporates that need to manage vast volumes of confidential legal documents like depositions and trial transcripts.Peter explains that Ford's involvement—while in an advisory capacity—brings valuable enterprise-level perspective, especially given its extensive legal operations. This project not only validates Iagon's use of blockchain for regulated environments, but also marks a significant milestone for Cardano in attracting Fortune 50-level interest.To top it off, there's a teaser: a second Fortune 50 company may also be involved in the near future. Speculation points towards the healthcare sector, given the solution's alignment with HIPAA compliance needs.Overall, this collaboration signals the growing maturity of Cardano's enterprise utility, showcasing how decentralised storage and blockchain can be practically applied in sensitive, high-compliance sectors.

An intervew with Director of Acoustic Design at IAG, Peter Comeau. Peter helps manage the sound design for IAG brands, including Wharfedale, Mission, Quad, Castle and Audiolab. We chat him up and discuss his outlook on listening, reproducing sound and more. Peter gives his take on several audiophile myths, including how far a speaker should really be placed from a wall for the best bass response. He also sheds a little more light on the idea of "British" speaker designs and some of the pros and cons of two-way vs three-way approaches.

Aviation maintenance training with the Chennault Aviation Maintenance Academy Director of Education, and with the Director of Maintenance for Chennault Aviation Services. In the news, more Newark Airport air traffic control problems, a large IAG order for Boeing and Airbus jets, calls to abolish airport screening, and Qatar's B747-8 gift. Guests Michael Riccardelli, Director of Education, Chennault Aviation Maintenance Academy (CAMA), and  Joshua Borel, Director of Maintenance, Chennault Aviation Services. CAMA offers hands-on aviation maintenance training that combines technical excellence with real-world experience and is rooted in the legacy of General Claire Lee Chennault and the Flying Tigers. The Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) program is designed both for people starting a career, and for those looking to take a new direction. It provides the skills, knowledge, and certifications for success in aviation maintenance. Mike and Josh tell us about the non-profit Aerospace Maintenance Council and the Aerospace Maintenance Council Competition, which recognizes and celebrates the aviation maintenance technician. The competition is held annually in conjunction with Aviation Week Network's MRO Americas and, for the first time in 2025, in conjunction with Vertical Aviation International's VERTICON. Chennault Aviation was a sponsor of both events. CAMA offers three programs: the traditional 18-month classroom program, self-paced A&P online training, and Choose Aerospace, which is offered through the Aviation Technician Education Council (ATEC) for juniors and seniors in high schools. Joshua Borel, Michael Riccardelli, and Casey Salzar. Mike and Josh explain the worldwide shortage of aviation maintenance technicians and how they are taking action to help get younger people interested in aviation. They also describe the synergy provided when one location encompasses maintenance training, flight training, and an operating airport. Michael Riccardelli was a CH-46 Sea Knight Helicopter technician in the Marine Corps and received his A&P in 1991. He assisted NASA in the Columbia recovery operations and maintained helicopters in the oil and gas industry, as well as EMS helicopters for Air Evac Lifeteam. Mike started aviation maintenance instructing in 2011. He coached student aviation maintenance skills teams for 12 years, with multiple wins in various competitions, including the Aerospace Maintenance Competition. He fielded the first all-female student aviation maintenance skills team, which took first place. Joshua Borel flew model airplanes from the age of 8. He joined the Air Force in 2011 as a C-5 Galaxy ISO (heavy inspection) Crew Chief, winning two Knuckle Buster awards. In 2016, Josh enrolled in the Aviation Institute of Maintenance, winning 1st in the 2017 PAMA Olympics, 2nd in the 2017 AMC School Category, and 1st in the 2018 AMC School Category. He graduated in February 2018 with A&P as class Valedictorian. Joshua joined Chennault Aviation while it was just a Part 61 flight school. He received his PPL in 2021 and became Director of Maintenance in 2022. He helped grow the company into not only a flight school, but a Part 135 Charter, a Part 147 A&P School, and a public airport. Aviation News Newark Liberty Airport suffers third system outage in less than 2 weeks, impacting hundreds of flights Another week of delays and cancellations caused by a system outage. This time, a 45-minute ground stop was reportedly the result of a momentary failure of a backup system. Controller staffing remains a problem, and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the number of flights will be cut.

El debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial se instala en las escuelas de diseño, animación y fotografía de París. De la productividad a la sensibilidad artística, la comunidad educativa busca respuestas y garantías en cuanto a las salidas profesionales. ChatGPT, Midjourney y Firefly son solo algunos de los muchos nombres comerciales de la inteligencia artificial generativa (IAG), una tecnología que se nutre de datos, textos e imágenes para entrenar sus algoritmos y, a su vez, producir nuevos contenidos escritos y audiovisuales. Aunque el origen de la IA generativa se remonta a varias décadas atrás, el desarrollo exponencial durante los últimos años explica el debate acerca de sus límites éticos, su impacto ecológico y la creciente preocupación por su falta de regulación. Y también sobre la banalización del arte y el trabajo creativo.“Es un insulto a la vía misma”, declaró Hayao Miyazaki, fundador del famoso estudio de animación Studio Ghibli, tras la ola de imágenes inspiradas en el estilo de sus películas creadas con inteligencia artificial. Una opinión compartida por un sector de los estudiantes que aspiran a trabajar en dicha industria.Foco en la propiedad intelectual“Es regurgitar un montón de imágenes hechas por artistas a los que no han pedido su consentimiento. No tiene sentido”, se queja Lianne, estudiante en cine de animación en la escuela de Gobelins París. "Es ilegal, no pagan por los derechos de autor, ¡es un robo!", añade su compañera Laura. Sin una delimitación clara, la cuestión de la autoría sigue siendo confusa.“Es algo cada vez más presente en nuestro día a día y creo que irá a más”, opina Louane, que también cursa cine de animación en Gobelins. Prefiere no pensar en la inteligencia artificial porque le produce cierto estrés, “pero es verdad que hay que tenerlo en cuenta”, admite. “Si hacemos una formación tan reconocida como ésta es para encontrar trabajo después. Si la IA nos lo quita, es estúpido hacerla”, concluye.El diseño gráfico, ¿en peligro?Difícil obviar la cuestión. Según el último Informe sobre el Futuro de los Empleos del Foro Económico Mundial, publicado en enero de 2025, la automatización que la IA trae consigo supondrá la destrucción de 92 millones de puestos de trabajo para 2030, mientras que creará otros 170 millones. Entre las profesiones con una rápida tendencia de declive, según este informe, está el diseño gráfico.“Una compañera de trabajo que no tenía estudios en este ámbito hizo un logo con ChatGPT y pensó que así ya podría ser grafista. Me lo dijo como si mi trabajo fuese un fraude", cuenta Axelle, estudiante de la escuela de diseño LISAA.Útil para ganar tiempoPero la IA no es perfecta. Como cualquier otra herramienta, para los que se sirven de ella como tal, es necesario utilizarla correctamente para obtener los resultados deseados. "Te hace ganar mucho tiempo, pero hay que saber hacer un prompt (la orden que se le da a la IA para que responda con un texto, imagen o vídeo, NDLR) y seleccionar las imágenes correctas. Siempre hará falta un director artístico que la supervise”, asegura Noémie, también de la escuela LISAA. “Tengo un bagaje suficiente como para poder encontrar un empleo. No puedes no usarla solo por tener miedo a que te quite el trabajo."Algunos la usan porque la ven como una herramienta, otros la rechazan por motivos éticos o ecológicos, pero el debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial roza incluso lo filosófico. "Mientras no tengas demasiado apego a las herramientas y mantengas tu independencia y tus ideas, me parece bien", dice Tony, alumno de diseño gráfico y animación en la escuela ECV, aventurándose a hacer el paralelismo con la película “Her” (Spike Jonze, 2013), donde el personaje interpretado por Joaquín Phoenix se enamora de una inteligencia artificial.“En la escuela usamos la IA para generar storyboards que luego convertimos en secuencias de video.”. Para él, la utilidad está en la fase de preproducción de los proyectos, donde asegura que le permite avanzar mucho más rápido.Priorizar la creatividad y la sensibilidadEl grado de permisión e incorporación de la IAG en los programas educativos depende de cada escuela, de cada departamento y de cada docente. “Nosotros incorporamos la IA desde el primer año de la formación. Los alumnos aprenden técnicas de fotografía analógica y digital, pero también el tratamiento de sus fotos con inteligencia artificial”, explica Yann Philippe, enseñante de fotografía y vídeo en Gobelins."No sentimos que nuestro trabajo esté directamente amenazado por la IA y creemos que, con un buen uso e inteligencia, puede potenciar la creatividad de algunos alumnos”. Son sorprendentemente los que ingresan con amplios conocimientos de IA generativa los menos interesados en trabajar con ella y más con el formato analógico y los procesos tradicionales, a diferencia de quienes no la han utilizado aún. “De todas formas, las herramientas avanzan a tal velocidad que cuando terminamos de preparar los cursos, ya están obsoletas."“Hice el curso de Midjourney de Gobelins, pero me interesa más la autenticidad”, confiesa Axel, alumno de fotografía, con su cámara Leica analógica colgada del hombro. “Con IA o sin IA, lo importante es la motivación y la sensibilidad que cada artista pone en sus proyectos.” Este precisamente lo que Yann Philippe busca desarrollar porque considera que “es ahí donde está su valor añadido”.La inteligencia artificial generativa avanza más rápido que el ritmo al que se da respuesta a las dudas y preguntas que ésta plantea, y se exige un marco normativo a la altura de los retos que conlleva. La Ley de Inteligencia Artificial de la Unión Europea, en vigor desde el 1 de agosto de 2024, es un primer paso, pero no parece suficiente. En el ámbito educativo, la UNESCO ha realizado una llamada urgente a los gobiernos de todo el mundo para que la regulen de manera eficaz.

David Worldon is the Founder of Accelerated Innovation, a boutique management consultancy specialising in insurance innovation. Last year they  saved  Australia's largest insurers half a million dollars in fees and shaved a full year off their growth timelines. David has recently published the 2025 General Insurance Innovation Report, assessing and ranking how Australia's largest insurers are innovating to address key industry challenges such as climate change, underinsurance, and rising premiums. His goal is to save leaders $20m in fees and 40 years of waiting to get shit done. David is also the host of Accelerated Innovation's Innovation Insider podcast, which is available at https://acceleratedinnovation.com.au/innovation-insider/ Episode SummaryThe video features a discussion centered around the Australian insurance market, highlighting its unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for innovation. Here are the key points: Market Dynamics: The Australian insurance market is characterized by a high level of concentration, with a significant portion of the market share held by a few major players. This concentration influences competition and innovation within the industry. Regulatory Environment: The industry is highly regulated, with recent interventions aimed at addressing systemic issues, particularly following a Royal Commission that scrutinized the sector for malpractice. This has led to a culture of risk aversion among insurers. Innovation Focus: There is a growing emphasis on innovation, particularly in risk mitigation and preparing for natural disasters. Insurers are shifting their strategies to not only rebuild after disasters but to enhance infrastructure and resilience for future events. Collaboration and Growth: Insurers are beginning to collaborate more effectively with each other and with government entities to address challenges such as underinsurance and protection gaps. This collaborative approach is seen as a pathway to strengthening the market. Future Outlook: The discussion suggests a positive outlook for the next five to ten years, with expectations of increased appetite for risk and innovation. The market is viewed as ripe for new entrants, particularly global digital players, which could disrupt traditional distribution models. Personal vs. Commercial Lines: Innovation is more pronounced in personal lines of insurance, particularly through direct sales channels. The commercial lines are slower to innovate, focusing primarily on enhancing broker experiences.

Hey there, everybody! Today on the show, we have a returning guest, Edith Rodriguez. Edith and I first spoke on the pod right after we both landed our first managers in late 2021. Now, we're back and Edith has been in two different writer's rooms and shares her experience! Edith Rodriguez grew up between the sunny beaches of Puerto Rico and cold winters of Wisconsin. She learned early on that if you're going to speak up in a big Caribbean family, you better be able to tell a good story. After years of leading corporate strategy, she left the business world and made the move to Los Angeles to pursue her passion of writing for television. She is a fellow of the Paramount TV Writers Program, Mentorship Matters, and The Gotham. She was most recently staffed on the upcoming 'Dexter: Resurrection' Showtime series and is currently a writer on Matlock Season 2 for CBS. Edith is represented by IAG.  Hope you all enjoy the episode! And don't forget to say something nice that Edith said or something dumb that I said on socials! @SocialWriterPod on IG, Twitter, and Bluesky.
