Barcelona, July 10, 2025. Today’s industrial innovation cannot be understood without a 360-degree vision that combines technology and people. In this context, Advanced Manufacturing Barcelona and Worksafe will feature two high-impact keynotes that will focus on the main challenges facing the workplace and industry: cybersecurity and mental health. Both leading industrial events in Catalonia are organized by Easyfairs and will be held jointly on October 1 and 2 at Fira de Barcelona – Gran Via Venue.
The opening day of Tech Congress 4.0, a leading forum within Advanced Manufacturing Barcelona, will feature a presentation by Deepak Daswani, one of Spain’s most renowned ethical hackers with a solid national and international track record. His presentation, titled “Industrial Cybersecurity: Protecting the Plant in the Era of IT/OT Convergence,” will take place on October 1st from 11:30 to 12:15 and will analyze the digital threats facing connected factories, as well as the keys to protecting their systems from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Daswani has served as a Security Evangelist at the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), an Expert at the CyberSOC Academy at Deloitte, and Chief Security Ambassador at Telefónica Tech.
Meanwhile, on October 2nd from 10:30 to 11:15, the WS Congress at the Worksafe trade fair will host Victor Küppers, an international speaker and one of the leading experts in motivational communication and positive psychology in Spain. In his presentation, titled “Living and Working with Joy,” he will address the impact of stress, constant pressure, and burnout in the workplace, and will share tools for facing everyday challenges with attitude, enthusiasm, and resilience.
“With the participation of Deepak Daswani and Victor Küppers, we offer two complementary and necessary perspectives: the protection of the industrial environment from a technological perspective and the care of mental health in organizations. Both reflect the comprehensive approach we propose this year, focused on both innovation and well-being,” says Oscar Barranco, General Manager of Easyfairs Iberia.
