Playtomic has just lifted one of the largest investment rounds this year in Spain with a peculiar hook: paddle

by

Pedro Clavería, Félix Ruiz (CEO) and Pablo Carro, co -founders and maximums responsible for Playtomic, smile in that image. It is not for less: your startup —which is not typical From the Spanish technology sector – it goes like a shot. The surprising thing is not that, but they have achieved it from the hand of the paddle, a sport that has gradually conquered fans in Spain, but now points much higher. Blades everywhere. The popularity of the paddle has grown spectacularly in recent years in our country. Sport is also living a vertiginous professionalization both among players and in the organization of tournaments, sponsors or manufacturers of sportswear or shovels, balls and accessories. In Xataka we continue to miss More support by smart watchesyes indeed. The new tennis. Tennis fans usually also enjoy this sport, which is especially accessible, and the follow -up of professional tournaments is also demonstrating that unique ascending trajectory. After the success of the World Padel Tour now the professional circuit has become called (and be managed by) PREMIER PDELand from an area that focused on Spain, Spain has passed to tournaments that are played in European countries, the Middle East and the entire American continent. The idea: globalize it and become a worldwide phenomenon. Playtomic knew how to arrive at the perfect moment. Playtomic’s emergence in this segment was vertiginous: before each club had its own methods and apps for reservations and the market was much more fragmented. Playtomic emerged as the unified app to review clues in clubs or to organize matches both on those tracks and on private tracks. Little by little more and more clubs have joined, and now in Playtomic there are 6,000 registered clubs and 1.5 million active users a month worldwide. Rounds that drive growth. The startup carries several rounds of accumulated investment, but in recent years the thing has gone more. In 2021 Playtomic he already lifted 56 million euros to continue growing, and now those responsible have just announced a new investment round of 65 million euros. The operation includes 55 million euros in investment and another 10 million in debt financing from Banco Santander. Playtomic’s is one of the largest investment rounds of the year in Spain, although there has been even more striking rounds, like Travelperk’s (200 million dollars). Expansion to the US in sight. This financing round will serve to boost Playtomic’s global presence in European countries, for example, but the focus is clear: to conquer the United States. As Ruiz pointed out Five daysapproximately a third of the money raised will be dedicated to that expansion in the US. There will also be expansion in European countries such as the United Kingdom or Germany. Miami marks the guideline. That American conquest has begun in Miami, where one of the great tournaments of the year is celebrated these days. The American city is being a shop window in that country, and in fact the current number one in the world, Claudio Coello – a part of Agustín Tapia, also number one – has moved there. Possible acquisitions. Those responsible for Playtomic also point to future acquisitions that will further reinforce their relevance in this sector. In 2022 They have already been made With a Finnish competitor, and Ruiz himself pointed to potential operations of this type. Good numbers. The company achieved revenues of 240 million euros in 2024, and it is expected to grow up to 350 million gross billing in 2025. The net net billing results in 2024 were 23 million euros, while the forecast is that it reaches 31 million in 2025. The company has more than 200 employees and the plan is to hire another 15 people throughout 2025. This is going. This investment round confirms the excellent state of health and the projection of the paddle, and here Playtomic has managed to do things very well and take advantage of that popularity to grow (and help to grow) to this sport. Spain is already conquered territory: now it remains to be seen if this new round effectively allows it to become a reference in countries like the US, where by 2026 it is expected that there are already 3,000 paddle tennis courts.

Issue ‘The Simpsons’ during the 24 hours 365 days a year on an exclusive channel

by

Disney has announced the launch of a stream In Disney+ of ‘The Simpsons‘: 24 hours, seven days a week of broadcasting of the 35 seasons that so far the series has completed. It will be almost 300 hours, 767 episodes of the most popular series in the history of television, although for now it does not seem that the thing will leave the United States. It doesn’t matter: the important thing is that, above celebrations of the enormous of the legacy of the Fox series, it makes clear in which mirror, apparently outdated, the industry of the streaming. An idea as simple as symbolic. Who may want to sit down to see the episodes of ‘The Simpsons‘In chronological order? Since 2020 the episodes are released in Disney+ a few hours after their broadcast in Fox, and of course, the 36 -year historical of the series is available on the platform. But more with ‘The Simpsons’ than with any other series, the nostalgia effect works perfectly. Or do we not remember all those views at noon in Antena 3 of the golden age of the animation series? Visted in which, until the last Mommto, it was not very clear what episode we were going to see. It is not the only stream. Since September of last yearDisney+ is experiencing in the United States (although at no time they close completely to an export to other countries) with the continuous issuance of different types of stream. It is, on the one hand of selections of content of the platform, plus some live programming: they opened the experiment with ABC News Live, a preschool content playlist, Playlists Seasonal that have been rotating in times such as Christmas or Halloween, selections from the company’s success franchises (Marvel, Star Wars, Disney), a Playlist of classic and nostalgic content and another dedicated to documentaries, biopics and realities. The Xanadú of Linear Television. This Disney+ experiment is not complete Its inauguration in 2020: Netflix Direct. Behind all this, and from this new proposal of Disney+, a clear objective: escape from the saturation sensation That the immense catalog of the platforms place before us. Before the infinite choice syndrome, not choose at all. Nostalgia when TV was good. And as we said above, there is also some nostalgia for the times when our favorite weekly series was an event. Or that we always see the same series, as happened with ‘The Simpsons’, ‘The Prince of Bel-Air’ or other midday sitcom imposed some routines where we were very far from feeling saturated because there was too much to do. What was there, without more, and the nostalgia of those simpler times is also behind these decisions. The resilience of the usual TV. A recent study He claimed that more than half of the Europeans still had traditional television as a primary destination for their television hours, partly because of the customs acquired after years in front of the device. It is just another example of how old customs remain, or at least they transform: the Amazing growth of fast channels (To which this Simpson stream could belong if it were independent of Disney+), with 1900 linear channels in the US in 2024 compared to only 1,000 in 2023 it is good proof: we are not yet prepared to abandon the old customs, and ‘The Simpsons’ will try to benefit from it.

Figure creates a system to make large -scale humanoid robots. And of course, there will be robots manufacturing robots

by

We had something forgotten to robots, but for A few months We don’t stop to return to hear about them. There are important efforts from companies such as Nvidia – who just put All meat on the grill-, Boston Dynamics or Teslabut there is another company that is pushing strong in this sector. It is called Figure, and has just announced a promising project. Botq. This is the name of the mass manufacturing platform of humanoid robots Announced by Figure. The idea is simple: to create a totally oriented infrastructure to that production of high volumes of robots that end up being used in all types of scenarios. 12,000 humanoid robots per year. The first generation of Botq will be able to produce 12,000 humanoid robots a year, but the company highlights that this is only the beginning “and we will climb considerably from there.” Manufacture with vertical integration. The company will control the construction process and its quality to ensure that the robots that end in the market have according to them the highest quality. They have also been working on software solutions for months to attend these high volume manufacturing processes. Robots building robots. The Humanoid Robots of Figure They already caught our attention last summer, and now these robots will participate in the manufacture of other humanoid robots. That, they say, will happen this year, but in addition “the number of humanoid robots involved (in manufacturing) will grow substantially over time to increase the automation of production lines.” By the way: Elon Musk has an identical idea. Figure 03 on the way. Its current humanoid robot was complex both in necessary elements and in manufacturing processes, but with it they have learned how they can reduce the number of components and how to improve production. And more efficient processes. Thus, instead of CNC machines they will use techniques such as injection molding or pressure foundry that allow “thousands of hours of manufacturing.” In fact, in some components that needed a week to be manufactured with CNC machines, times have gone from only 20 seconds.

The B300 GPU is the new Nvidia beast for Ia. And we already know what prepares for 2026 and 2027

by

Jensen Huang, the co -founder and general director of Nvidia, has not let out the opportunity to publicize the next GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) that have put their engineers ready in the framework of the GTC 2025 (GPU Technology Conference). The spectacular thing this electrical engineer has presented is The DGX B300 platform. This hardware is the most powerful Nvidia for generative, although according to this company it is also its most efficient proposal from an energy point of view. The Blackwell Ultra GPUs work on the B300 platform elbow with a 2.3 TB Map of HBM3E memory, delivering according to NVIDIA 72 Pflops in training processes with precision FP8 and nothing less than 144 pflops in inference tasks with precision FP4. These figures are a real monstrosity. In fact, the B300 platform is 11 times faster in inference and 4 times in training than its predecessor, the B200. This is the hardware with which Nvidia wants to maintain her leadership If we look at the consumer figures announced by NVIDIA we will see that apparently the energy efficiency of B200 and B300 platforms is similar. The first consumes approximately 14.3 KW maximumand the second one 14 kW. However, there is something that we should not overlook: the GPUs of both solutions have been implemented on the Blackwell microarchitecture, but they are not the same. The Blackwell Ultra chips of the B300 platform are more powerful than the Blackwell to dry infrastructure B200. The B300 platform integrates 50% more memory, allowing you to deal with larger AI models In addition, the B300 platform integrates 50% more memory, which in theory allows this hardware to deal with larger and more parameters. This proposal will reach the first data centers During the second semester of 2025. In any case, Nvidia has not only spoken of her current hardware in this edition of her conference dedicated to AI; He has also anticipated what his engineers are working for 2026 and 2027. The microarchitecture that will replace Blackwell is known as Rubin, and, as expected, it will be even more powerful than his predecessor. An interesting detail is that Rubin will be compatible with Blackwell at the infrastructure level, which will allow Nvidia customers to combine both solutions. In any case, Rubin will deliver 1.2 EXAFLOPS in training processes with precision FP8 compared to 0.36 EXAFLOPS of the B300 platform. It will arrive during the second half of 2026. And during the second semester of 2027 Nvidia will launch Rubin Ultra, a review that according to this company will reach 5 exaflops In training tasks with FP8 precision, so your performance in this scenario will be almost four times greater than Rubin’s. A last interesting note: Rubin will use HBM4 memory, while Rubin Ultra will have HBM4E.

It is a device that, maintaining the inheritance of the range A, is committed to more modest, but quite competent already lower price than his brothers. With A of Asequible? It may be, but in any case this terminal is the pixel for those who want the Pixel experience without paying what a high -end pixel is worth. And this mobile can be purchased for 549 euros. It arrives with a renewed design, an engine that we already know and a technical file that, without being the most top of the market, promises good performance and much, a lot of artificial intelligence courtesy of Android 15Google and Gemini.

Millennials and generation Z are already its main clients

by

Having a Ferrari waiting for you in the garage continues to be the desire of many young people, especially when money It is not a problem. The young people are revolutionizing the market of luxury cars, and Ferrari is the proof of this. The legendary Italian brand is seeing how its clientele rejuvenates by leaps and bounds. The reason: the new generations are receiving the millionaire inheritances of their relatives. The new profile of “Ferrarista”. As they point out from FortuneTraditionally Ferrari has been synonymous with older men, successful entrepreneurs and engine -love collectors with years of experience and a bulky wallet. But times are changing. According to recent statements by Benedetto Vigna, executive director of Ferrari, collected By CNBC, millennials and generation Z already represent 40% of the new Ferrari buyers. A generational turnaround that has surprised its own and strangers, and that shows that the luxury industry is facing a generational relief. This means an increase in the percentage of customers with less than 40 years of Ferrari, which in 2023 was 30%. Benedetto Vigna said that: “We are seeing a great interest on the part of younger customers,” and indicated that this demographic change is a global trend that is transforming the way in which luxury brands are related to their customers. Having a Ferrari goes beyond having money. This change in the profile of the buyers of Ferrari cars is due to different factors that converge in time. On the one hand, the success of influencers and young celebrities that exhibit their luxury cars on social networks, and that the brand has taken care of nails and teeth for preserve your aura of exclusivity. On the other hand, Ferrari has managed to adjust the policy of “scarcity marketing“That Enzo Ferrari established, who assured that” he would always deliver a car less than what the market demands, “which increases the desirability of his cars. Vigna says that The waiting lists For one of his cars they are about two years old. In his interview, the Ferrari CEO said that a 37 -year -old told him that he was anxious to receive his first Ferrari before he turned 40. “Do not worry, you will get it when you are 39 years old,” Vigna explained to CNBC. Faithfulness to Ferrari. As published Fortunemost of Ferrari’s client portfolio has been forged over decades, affecting the idea that It is not enough to have money To drive a Ferrari: you have to deserve of it. In 2024, Ferrari sold approximately 81% of their new cars to owners who already had a Ferrari and 48% of them to buyers who already had more than one Ferrari in their garage. That reinforces the attachment of young people for a brand that does not make their customers easy access one of your cars. However, one of the great triumphs that the Maranello brand has recently achieved is that, when they get it, its clients can customize it to their liking in the Ferrari Atelierdivision that the brand has created to respond to the exclusive requests of its customers. “The great wealth transfer.” But if there is a key factor that explains the rejuvenation of Ferrari’s clientele, it is the call “Great wealth transfer“. It is estimated that a good part of world wealth is currently In the hands of the Baby Boomers. Due to demographic aging, it is estimated that, until 2045, millennials and generation Z will be the beneficiaries of an estimated wealth transfer in about 84 billion (European billion) of dollars. These first signs of generational change are already being seen, with data such as the one that revealed the list of 2024 Millionaires of Forbes, in which most of the new Millionaires under 30 years old They were for having received a millionaire heritage. A generalized trend. Although those responsible for other luxury brands have not expressed themselves with the clarity with which the CEO of Ferrari has done, everything indicates that this is a trend that they are experiencing the set of luxury cars manufacturers. According to statements From Stephan Winkelmann, world general director of Lamborghini to Drive: “There are more and more people, compared to a decade ago, which at an early age already have so much money that our type of cars can easily buy.” Porsche, meanwhile, has managed to adapt to the new times adapting its public sales channels younger to stay as an attractive option for new millionaires.

This Alavesa company dominates mobile phones, and the 2G blackout transformed it into something much more interesting

by

The MWC was a brutal hive of technological and telecos from all over the world … with America and Asia in a prominent place, something that results paradoxical and expected at the same time in an event organized in Barcelona: Error 404, Europe Not Found. But in one of the Halls Yes there was European presence, because there There was the huge Spanish pavilion, that of Red.es, and in turn there was, in one of its fifty spaces, SPC (Smart Products Connection), an Alava technology that has turned the technological needs of the elderly into their small gold mine. And we were able to talk to his CEO, Teresa Acha-Forea, an old acquaintance of Xataka: A decade ago We interviewed her in her stage with Wikowhich was a mark of that same matrix. Of telephone liberalization to leadership in a specialized niche SPC’s story begins with The beginning of the process of liberalization of telecommunications At the end of the eighties, when Telefónica lost the monopoly of the sale of telephones. It was then that this company Alavesa jumped to start marketing landlines. It looks like a gray and little activity sexy (And it is), but it was his germ. For years it was your main business (They still have a presence in him), But with the slow agony of the fixed this leg is more in the consulting of conference terminals for companies than in the sale of the telephone itself. Red.es pavilion in the MWC 2025. In one of its fifty spaces was SPC. Image: Xataka. A little after that was when the adventure that has taken them here began. “Twenty years ago we began to make adapted phones for blind and people with special needs“, explains Teresa during our interview at the Mobile World Congress 2025.” We also had a Portfolio of telephone numbers for seniors, with large, first fixed and then mobile keys. “ What began as a specialized line has led the company to a dominant position in Spain: “We have become the first Spanish telephone brand for seniors, we have 50% of that market,” says the directive. The silent revolution: from 2g to 4g While the technological world revolts around The latest ©SPC has demonstrated the ability to evolve without losing its essence. Its catalog has been growing with the decades, but always maintaining the focus on a type of accessible and easy -to -use devices. That approach also has its own technological risks. In this case, a question of networks: “These devices are 2g, but you have to change to 4g by The blackouts that are going to be done. All these devices will stop working, so we decided to launch the catalog in 4G. ”What was cost savings because it made no sense to aim at ultra -granted speeds also finds its expiration date. This technological change has meant a great change for the company: “We went from transmitting voice to transmit data. That makes a ‘silly’ device have some intelligence. With the 4G we saw that we could exchange data, that is, send orders.” And that forced paradigm change led them to A much deeper change: the hardware for the service. Taking advantage of the 4G jump, SPC has developed a platform called SPC Carelaunched at the end of last year. “It is an app that is usually downloaded a responsible, a child,” explains the CEO. “It allows to manage the entire device menu, contacts, volume, brightness … It also has functions for the child, such as locating the father’s mobile by GPS or seeing his SMS.” The latter, he points, not so much to invade his privacy and to prevent The frauds that have found in the SMS a great ally. In it MWC 2025 The company presented new functions for this platform: “We have incorporated new actions, for example, a medication reminder. We have an agenda in which to schedule days and hours for a specific message to arrive, which we can write, and thus will come in a personalized way.” The most interesting thing is how this reminder is delivered: “That message will not come as SMS, because they do not usually read them, but as a voice call.” A detail that demonstrates the company’s knowledge about the real needs of its target audience. This evolution represents a paradigm change for SPC, as its directive acknowledges: “This is being a small great revolution for the company. We have gone from being a hardware company very specialized in the development of the PCBA with engineering in China, to manage applications and data.” Between design and manufacturing Although SPC is presented as a Spanish manufacturer, its productive model reflects the reality of the contemporary technology industry: Design in any country, manufacture in China. Nothing on the other Thursday, nothing we don’t know. However, the degree of involvement of the company in the development of its products varies quite according to the category. It is not a black or white. “It depends on each category, we intervene more in the conceptualization or less,” explains Acha-Forea. “The person in charge is the one who has contact with the manufacturer of the Chipset. The manufacturer of Chipset Sells specific engineering that are the ones that develop the PCBA “. In the most strategic products, the personalization level is very high: “In the tablets, we do everything with engineering in China. From speaking with engineering, and telling him that this is the PCBA, this is the type of plate, we want this type of battery here, this here, this here …”. The CEO is clear on which products they have more intervention: “Tablets and smartphones for seniors are own molds, they are ours. When it is its own mold, it is its own PCBA and its own engineering.” Current Catalog of SPC smartphones. Image: SPC. At the opposite end are the smallest or generic products: “Some headphones … Well, you choose the headset and say, well, because I want you to change this, … Read more

His first data revalidates Einstein and put the dark matter on the map

by

The Euclid telescope, launched in 2023 by the European Space Agency, has finished overwhelming its first great task. Designed to make a map in detail of the universe To help us understand dark matter and energy, Euclid has been analyzing three regions of heaven from point L2 of Lagrange. Despite being just the First mission data setwhich will extend at least until 2030, the European space telescope has already detected 26 million galaxies, some of which are 10.5 billion light years. Now the team, aided by volunteers and learning algorithms for reinforcement, has begun to publish the most complete and detailed map of the distribution of objects of the universe, which includes huge clusters of galaxies, bright quasars fed by supermassive black holes and gravitational lenses that divert the light of farthest objects. A first look at the Cosmic Network A deep field image of the Euclid space telescope Galaxies are not randomly distributed. They form a structure called Cosmic Network, similar to a web, whose filaments are made of ordinary matter and dark matter. Dark matter does not emit light, but affects the way galaxies are formed and evolved. Euclid accurately measures the shape, size and distance of galaxies to understand how the cosmic network is organized. He map that is makingwhose first three pieces have just completed, will be key to finding out what dark matter and dark energy are really. We know that dark matter exists because it gravitationally affects galaxies (it turns them faster than expected). And we know that there is a dark energy responsible for accelerating the universe. But they are a mystery. Different types of galaxies classified by human volunteers and the AI ​​of ESA Since its deployment, Euclid has sent 100 GB of data daily. It is impossible to manually classify each image, so scientists resorted to artificial intelligence and citizen science to classify 380,000 galaxies. 10,000 human volunteers collaborate in galaxyzoo.org To teach a so -called Zoobot to identify the different forms of galaxies. The volunteers classify the objects (“spirals”, “with arms”) and their responses are used to reset the AI ​​or readjust the accuracy of the algorithm. 5,000 strong gravitational lenses Gravitational lenses detected by Euclid One of the aspects that most excite scientists in the first Euclid data set are gravitational lenses. Euclid has already detected about 5,000 possible strong gravitational lenses, very rare objects that form obvious visual effects, such as arches or Einstein rings. These curvatures of space-time, predicted by the theory of general relativity, allow to observe distant objects that would otherwise be invisible, helping to understand how dark matter is distributed. It is expected that at the end of the mission, Euclid has identified about 100,000 strong lenses, multiplying the amount we currently know. Questions to solve The Euclid space telescope had a complicated deployment due to the accumulation of ice in its lens, but the ESA engineers managed to solve any setback. The results published today demonstrate the very high sensitivity of the telescope. During the next few years, Euclid will observe between 30 and 50 times these regions of the cosmos, accumulating more and more information and discovering new galaxies and phenomena. Added to the observations of the newly released NASA Spherex Telescopethe information we will have of the universe will increase exponentially. With the most detailed map of the universe, scientists will try to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe, and how they relate to each other, while solving other transcendental questions: what is the structure and history of the cosmic network? How has the expansion of the universe changed over time? Is the theory of the gravity of Einstein complete, or does it need large -scale modifications?

The future will be full of robots, says Nvidia. And just launch a tools to win that race

The event GTC 2025 Nvidia began yesterday with an inaugural talk in which Jensen Huang machine -gunned us with a real Building burst. Among them, especially those focused on an area in which the company is especially optimistic: robotics. Foundational model. In March 2024 NVIDIA He already told us about his Project Grootand now said project has crystallized in the call Isaac Gr00t N1which qualify as the first open foundational model for humanoid robots. That is to say: the model is pretended, but it can be customized for all types of scenarios, both “domestic” and industrial. “The era of generalist robotics is here”. Huang declared how this new era began with this launch, and pointed out that thanks to Isaac Gr00t N1 and new data generation systems and learning for robots, developers can create much more capable robots. Robotic labor. The CEO of Nvidia highlighted how “it is very likely that this is the largest industry of all. At the end of this decade, at least 50 million workers will miss in the world. We would be more delighted to pay $ 50,000 to each one to come to work; we will probably have to pay the robots 50,000 dollars a year (instead).” Humanoid robots in sight. In The last part of your presentation Two and a half hours, the Nvidia CEO focused precisely on robotics, and for example showed videos of humanoid robots Neo gamma of the company 1x, which are based on Isaac Gr00t N1 and that already show their Potential as domestic robots. Other companies like Boston Dynamics –Creators of Atlas-, Quesoe Robotics and Neura Robotics are also developing this type of robots and have enjoyed preliminary access to the Nvidia robotic platform. Think quickly, think slowly. This foundational model uses a double architecture inspired by human cognition. Thus, system 1 is “a fast thinking action model” similar to what humans have with reflexes and intuition. System 2, enhanced by a vision model, is “a model of slow thought” that reasons about its environment and the instructions he receives and then raised his actions. Learning to move. This model therefore raises a pillar to develop robots (humanoids or not) that can operate in the real world. Thus, GR00T N1 can generalize and adapt to common tasks such as taking objects, moving them with one or two arms or carrying them from one place to another. Basic and limited operations are at the moment, but they are an important first step for the robots of the future. Basically these robots are learning to walk. A customizable model. Nvidia offers large information so that developers can start working with this model. Thus, we have both the Technical information Like project files available in Github. And data to train robots. Robots need huge amounts of data to be trained and learn to interact in the physical world. Nvidia ACBA to offer A huge and available data set in Hugging Face for this area. They are 15 TB of data that represent “more than 320,000 trajectories for robotic training”, in addition to 1,000 “scenarios” Scene Description (Openusd) to contribute to that training. Collaboration with Disney and Deepmind. Another of the robotic projects is the alliance with these companies to develop Newtonan Open Source physics engine that allows robots to learn how to manage tasks of all kinds with greater precision. Disney will be one of the first to use these robots, and in fact Huang finished the demo with a unique co -presenter: a robot that he called Blue and that was inspired by the BDX droids of Star Wars. It is something that Disney already pointed out years agoand it is likely that this type of entertainment robots will end in their attraction parks.
