Aligned with the Master’s Degree in "Digital Management & ERP: Management of the Smart Company” taught at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Vitoria-Gasteiz, its mission consists of taking a stance in the development of digital skills and the management of the Smart Company, to become a proactive agent for the region’s digital transformation.
