FCC Industrial, through the IoT Cluster of the Community of Madrid, held the Selection Day for the IoTCAM 2025 Awards, recognising the most promising IoT-based technological solutions of the year. During the event, the finalists presented their projects to the jury, which included Antonio Prego from FCC Industrial, and the audience. The winning proposals highlight the increasingly strategic role of IoT in building more sustainable, secure and smart cities.

The winning projects, from Secur0 and Full&Fast, were recognised as the most promising due to their real impact on the IoT ecosystem and their direct benefit to citizens. The aim of the IoTCAM Awards is to identify and promote those solutions that best contribute to society as a whole and to the development of smarter cities.

Ignacio Azorín, Director of Digital Strategy for the Community of Madrid, highlighted the role of Technology Clusters as ‘drivers of innovation and facilitators of the deployment of emerging technologies’, underlining the region's commitment to promoting the IoT in its roadmap towards a smarter, more connected and sustainable community.

FCC Industrial participated in a round table discussion entitled ‘An IoT ecosystem in consolidation: connected industry and city’, which brought together María Dolores Ortiz, Director General of Mobility Planning and Infrastructure at Madrid City Council, who emphasised the role of the IoT as a priority tool in the service of urban quality of life; José Luis Ayala, who, on behalf of the Complutense University of Madrid, stressed the importance of preparing new professionals for what he described as a ‘new technological paradigm’; Kallitsa Georgiou, Head of New Business IoT at Telefónica, who pointed to AI, cheaper hardware and regulation as key drivers in the evolution of the sector; Antonio Prego, from FCC Industrial, who detailed how the IoT ‘is already revolutionising efficiency and sustainability in industrial processes’; and finally, Elena Caídas, from Grupo Viarium, who emphasised the need to implement projects ‘so that they do not remain merely innovative ideas, but reach people and benefit society’.

The awards were presented in the Idea Category, with the winner being Secur0's proposal for collaborative security based on bug bounty. For its part, Full&Fast won the award in the Startup Category. Both projects will receive support to develop their pilots, with the backing of the Cluster, its collaborating entities and the congratulations and support of the Community of Madrid through the Department of Digitalisation and its roadmap for the progressive transformation of the region.
