The "Blockchain Lab Factory: Digital Health 4.0" project, carried out by Calasanz Santurtzi and Andra Mari Galdakao, has broken boundaries and has been approved for the European Vocational Skills Week 2020. This event is enough of an excuse to talk about the “Blockchain Lab Factory: Digital Health 4.0” project. Calasanz-Santurtzi is taking part in the initiative, together with the Andra Mari Vocational School of Galdakao. The project is promoted by TKNIKA and aims to promote Blockchain technology in healthcare digitization and digital security processes, among other things, as well as in the traceability of medical supplies or the evolution of the vaccine against COVID-19.

To this end, the project has formed a network of expert collaborators in its sector, such as the San Juan de Dios Hospital, the Orienta Zaitez Foundation, the Alastria Foundation, one of the startups in the Basque Country, CodecContract, and Tecnalia. Tknika has supported this project this academic year, led by Eduardo Aginako and Iñaki Aizpuru from Andra Mari Primary School, as Basque experts in Blockchain. Rafa Balparda and Javier González from Calasanz-Santurtzi, on the other hand, have also worked on the health development of this project.

European Vocational Skills Week 2020

As mentioned, the ‘Blockchain Lab Factory: Digital Health 4.0’ project has taken part in the European Vocational Skills Week 2020 event, the European Vocational Skills Week 2020 event.

As a strategic part of the project, Blockchain Lab Factory was born with a vocation for expansion and growth, including internationally. In this sense, it is an excellent milestone for the European Commission to approve the project for the European Vocational Training Week in Vocational Training 2020, which is to participate in the European map of innovation projects.
This initiative presents the best European vocational training projects through an interactive map, with the aim of creating synergies, learning and partnerships, as a great way to connect complementary projects at European level.

Calasanza and Andra Mari, partners in Alastria

Calasanz and Andra Mari are partners in Alastria. Let’s remember that Alastria is the largest Blockchain platform in the State. As part of the development of the "Blockchain Lab Factory: Digital Health 4.0" project promoted by Tknika in collaboration with Our Lady of Galdakao, the two centers and the project partner Orienta Zaitez Fundazioa have signed a collaboration agreement with Alastria Fundazioa to collaborate and share projects with Blockchain. Alastria, with more than 500 associated companies, is one of the best networks for promoting digital innovation and has brought together most of the companies on the IBEX 35.

Alastria

Alastria is a non-profit association; its mission is to promote the technologies of distributed accounting records, to make them known. The sum of common interests is to promote the use of these technologies, create new business models and create social impact. It was created in October 2017 and is decentralized. So they are almost all over Spain, but also in Europe. They work very firmly at the international level, in the European legal framework, within which they move forward in three axes, the legal axis, the technological axis and the innovation or organizational change, to promote the creation of new businesses with this technology.

It now has around 542 members, 42% of whom are small and medium-sized enterprises. That’s very important to them; 80% of GDP comes from SMEs, and this is where startups, the new generation of companies involved in the use of this technology, stand out. They also own 15% of large companies, of which they emphasize their commitment to change these business models. They also work with universities, institutions and public administrations. For Alastria all partners are key and they all come together.
