"De cara al mundo": international analysis on Onda Madrid
"De cara al mundo", the Onda Madrid programme directed and presented by Javier Fernández Arribas, director of Atalayar, analyses international current affairs on a weekly basis.
Presidential elections are held in Iran after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. The candidates have had to pass the demanding filters of the Guardian Council. Two issues to keep in mind: abstention, which is the Iranian citizens' way of rejecting the ayatollahs' regime, and the upcoming replacement of the top leader Ali Khamenei.
On the other hand, the first electoral debate for the November presidential elections in the United States was held with a hesitant Joe Biden, with voice problems due to the flu and with several lapses that have been taken advantage of by Donald Trump, who has insisted on the problem of immigration. A tense debate in which the candidates did not even greet each other and resorted to personal issues such as a sexual relationship with a porn actress or the death of Biden's son.
In addition, the Andalucía Lab headquarters hosted the first edition of Startup OLÉ Marbella '24, the new event for entrepreneurship and technological innovation, from 26th to 28th June 2024.
This initiative aims to connect entrepreneurs and startups/scaleups with investors, corporations, public administrations, media and other agents of the international ecosystem, in an environment conducive to doing business and generating synergies, with a climate, culture and quality of life that continues to attract international entrepreneurs and investors.
To this end, Startup OLÉ Marbella has included, among others, an investor and corporate forum, a cybersecurity forum (CIBER-SHUBE), an accelerator forum, a public administration forum, a media forum, a university forum and a hackathon, among others. It also featured exclusive content with great speakers at round tables and plenary talks, a startup fair, pitch competition, business rounds and networking activities including cocktail parties, making Marbella the epicentre of entrepreneurship and investment at the highest level.
In total, the event featured around 50 round tables and talks, more than 240 speakers, 51 investors/corporations, around 1,000 attendees and more than 100 startups belonging to entities such as AgriFood & Rural, BioTech & eHealth, Cybersecurity/AI/Fintech, Water/Energy/Sustainability/Renewable Gases or Infrastructure/Logistic/Travel.
Within the framework of internationalisation, the participation of Kira Negron, president of the Saudi Business Council, stood out, explaining the numerous opportunities that Saudi Arabia currently offers to entrepreneurs, young businesspeople and investment funds. In the new process of modernisation and transformation undertaken with the Vision 2030 plan promoted by Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia offers support and financing for good projects in all sectors.
Emilio Corchado, CEO of Startup OLÉ Marbella, and Borja Cabezón, CEO of ENISA, will be in the microphones of "De cara al mundo" to explain all the details of this meeting.
Also, the war in Ukraine continues. The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, hopes to have a proposal for negotiations with Russia ready before the end of the year, which could be a very important step. The journalist and correspondent María Senovilla and the expert international analyst Lucas Martín will give the keys to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
As every day, the discussion will be led by Atalayar's regular contributors, Claudia Luna, Mexican journalist and writer, and Pedro González, journalist and founder of Euronews, coordinated by Javier Fernández Arribas. They will discuss the presidential elections in Iran, the US election debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the election of leaders in the European Union, the failed coup in Bolivia, the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas and the war in Ukraine.
"De cara al mundo", Friday 28 June from 22:05 to 23:00.
