China prepares a 2nm AI chip to end NVIDIA’s dominance. Your problem is how you are going to manufacture it

by

A new chip designer for artificial intelligence (IA) is preparing to take the field in China. And he intends to make a lot of noise. In fact, it is already doing so. It’s called Dishan Technology, and, according to SCMP, is already verifying the prototype of a 2nm AI GPU that uses a hybrid integration technology that combines FinFET and GAA transistors (Gate-All-Around). However, this is not the only thing that has emerged. According to Dishan Technology, this chip will be 40% more energy efficient than its predecessor and will be compatible with CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), from NVIDIA. This latest technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, so if Dishan’s chip is really compatible it will be much easier to integrate it into facilities that already have GPUs from this American company. Although, as I mentioned above, Dishan already has a prototype of its chip, it will take another year or two to refine its technology enough to make large-scale manufacturing possible. Be that as it may, what has not been revealed is who is going to manufacture it. SMICthe largest Chinese semiconductor producer, can currently only manufacture 7nm chips using the multiple patterning. And TSMC, Intel and Samsung, which could produce it, will hardly do so in the current geopolitical context due to the demands of the US sanctions on China. We will see how Dishan Technology solves this challenge. China already has three “champions” in its AI chip ecosystem The country led by Xi Jinping you already have three alternatives very clear to NVIDIA. Although not as well-known as Huawei or Moore Threads, Cambricon Technologies is one of the companies specialized in designing GPUs for AI with the greatest growth potential. In fact, in August 2025 it received approval from the Shanghai Stock Exchange (China) to raise $560 million. He is allocating them to the design of four chips for training and inference of AI models, and also to the development of an alternative to CUDA. Moore Threads has developed several GPUs that rival advanced solutions from NVIDIA, AMD or Huawei On the other hand, Moore Threads has developed several GPUs for AI applications that, on paper, rival some of the advanced solutions that NVIDIA, AMD or Huawei have placed on the market. The cards MTT S4000 and MTT S3000 They are its most interesting proposals right now, although, curiously, the MTT S80 card also appears in its portfolio, a proposal for games and content creation that, according to Moore Threads itself, has a computing capacity of 14.4 TFLOPS in single-precision floating point operations. The other indispensable player in the Chinese AI chip industry is Huawei. His most ambitious proposal right now is the chip Ascend 950PRwhich aims to surpass the performance of the GPU NVIDIA H100. However, this Chinese company also launched its chips last year Ascend 910D and 920. This last solution is clearly intended to compete in the Chinese market with NVIDIA’s H20 GPU. Presumably at the end of 2026 it will launch its Ascend 950DT chip, and the Ascend 960 and 970 GPUs will arrive in 2027 and 2028 respectively.

prepares total blockade of chip manufacturing machines arriving in China

by

The US has been exercising its control over advanced integrated circuit manufacturing equipment for five years now to prevent it from reaching China. It is the strategy with the one that has managed to slow downbut in no way slow down, the technological development of the country led by Xi Jinping. In 2021, it approved the first restrictions that prevented machines from extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) of ASML and other advanced equipment arrive in China. From that moment on, the US Government has continued to deploy new sanctions with the purpose of increasingly limiting the access of Chinese semiconductor manufacturers to lithography and wafer processing equipment that comes not only from the US, but also from the Netherlands, Taiwan, South Korea or Japan. The US is exercising ownership of some of the patents that these machines use, and also their ability to influence the decisions made by their allies. However, the Administration led by Donald Trump still has room to tighten its siege on China. And presumably it will do so in the short term because several senators belonging to both parties (Democrats and Republicans) have proposed new legislation which seeks to impose an essentially total ban on exports of advanced chip manufacturing and wafer processing equipment to certain corporations in adversary nations. It is clear that China is in their sights. Objective: Prevent ASML’s UVP photolithography machines from reaching China State-of-the-art lithography equipment is extraordinarily complex and sophisticated. Currently, the most used by integrated circuit manufacturers to produce cutting-edge chips are deep ultraviolet (UVP) and extreme ultraviolet (UVE) machines. A priori, UVP machines are suitable for manufacturing semiconductors up to 10 nm. And with EUVs it is possible to go up to 2 nm. However, by refining the processes involved in transferring the pattern to the wafer and turning to multiple patterning It is possible to go beyond these integration technologies. The US is especially targeting SMIC, Huawei, Hua Hong Semiconductor, YMTC and CXMT This technique broadly consists of transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. It may have an upward impact on the cost of chips and a downward impact on production capacity, but it works. SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp), the largest Chinese semiconductor manufacturerhas resorted to multiple patterning for manufacture 7nm integrated circuits using ASML’s Twinscan NXT:2000i UVP lithography equipment. US export controls currently prevent the sale of UVP equipment to specific factories in China that may or may not appear on the US blacklist, but do not prohibit its sale to the companies that own these plants. This is precisely what the MATCH Law seeks to change (Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware) that US senators have proposed. In practice this proposal will, if successful (and it probably will), prevent ASML’s UVP machines and other advanced wafer processing equipment from reaching any facilities of major Chinese chipmakers. The US is targeting SMIC, Huawei, Hua Hong Semiconductor, YMTC and CXMT, and also their subsidiaries. He picks it up clearly. the published document by Senator Michael Baumgartner. In reality this proposal does not introduce new restrictions; what it does is change how shipping is allowed of advanced tools to prevent Chinese companies from continuing to develop sophisticated techniques, such as multiple patterningwith the purpose of producing cutting-edge chips. Be that as it may, in the medium term, China will need to have your own advanced lithography machines to be able to sustain its technological development.

Marta Ortega prepares the move of the offices of four Inditex brands, but not to Galicia: to Barcelona

by

The price of land within large cities makes it impossible for companies to develop their corporate infrastructure in them, and they are forced to look for that space at a more reasonable price. on the periphery. Inditex has decided to do exactly the opposite. The textile giant founded by Amancio Ortega has opted to take the opposite path and bring Barcelona closer to its next big corporate campus and build it next to the iconic Three Chimneys, in one of the enclaves of the metropolitan area What else is changing? in recent years. The project plans to move the offices that four of its brands currently have in Tordera (Maresme) to this new space, converting an old industrial land into the new business heart from an area that has been waiting for its opportunity for decades. An industrial floor that is reinvented. The land chosen for this project is the old site of the Schott Ibérica factory, in Sant Adrià de Besòs, which Inditex acquired in 2018. The local town council has approved initially an Urban Improvement Plan that covers nearly 90,000 square meters of land, where the new brand campus and a hypermarket Alcampo relocated to a new building. The new business proposal establishes a clear separation between the commercial use area, to the north, and the Inditex corporate campus, which will occupy most of the complex in the southern area, with 67,243 square meters intended entirely to house different offices of the Inditex brands. Four brands, one campus. The facilities that Inditex has in Tordera and Palafolls (Maresme) today house the headquarters of Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho and Lefties. With the move to Sant Adrià, these Maresme facilities will be able to dedicate themselves exclusively to logisticsstrengthening the group’s distribution capacity for those four chains in all its markets. The Zara and Zara Home offices are the only ones that do not change their location on the Arteixo campus, in its headquarters in La Coruñawho has also experienced a significant expansion with a complex of about 170,000 square meters. In Sant Adrià, the new Inditex campus will add a total of 164,098 m2 built distributed in four buildings with a ground floor and four floors, organized around three interior patios connected on the ground floor. These buildings will house offices, pattern-making workshops, pilot stores, audiovisual production and technology spaces. The locomotive that the neighborhood is waiting for. However, the importance of this move lies in the impact on the local economic fabric that the presence of an industrial giant like Inditex provides. The mayor of Sant Adrià, Filo Cañete, considered that the arrival of Inditex represents an exceptional opportunity to position the municipality as a benchmark for innovation and business activity in the metropolitan area, and highlighted that among the reasons that the company has valued most are the location and “good connectivity in public transport with metro, tram and train.” The campus will bring with it the arrival of around a million workers to a municipality that aspires to become one of the new economic districts of the Barcelona metropolitan area. To this end, the promoters undertake to pay the Sant Adrià City Council some nine million euros to finance two bridges that will connect the campus with the future audiovisual hub of Catalunya Media Citytransfer 10% of the urban use generated and restore the chimney of the old CELO factory, cataloged as Cultural Asset of Local Interest. Our sights set on 2030. The project still has to overcome some steps before becoming a reality. As and how I collected The Newspaperthe town councils of Sant Adrià and Badalona must consolidate the urban plan for the area, necessary by Catalan legislation to authorize large commercial areas of more than 2,500 square meters in municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. With the municipal decree approved on February 27, 2026, a one-month public information period was opened to present allegations. If the deadlines are met, the partial opening of the campus is planned for 2028, with complete completion of the set towards 2030. Inditex has more than 8,500 employees and more than 170 stores in Catalonia, and this new campus will reinforce the axis between Galicia and Catalonia as the backbone of its global activity.

AEMET prepares for “the highest hydrometeorological impacts in the world”

by

As said Kevin Killeen“February is the worst month of the year, but it is an honest month.” And February 2026 is no exception in its honesty: the models gave historic rainfall throughout the Atlantic coast and the south of the peninsula and the rainfall is already here. The jet stream is going to pass over us so “constant and uniform” throughout the week. But it is not just the “concatenation of storms generated” by this, it is that “they are going to be fed with high moisture content” that comes directly from the Gulf of Mexico. What would have been excellent news three years ago has become a huge problem: this succession of storms arrives at a time when the soil cannot absorb even one more drop. A truly exceptional accumulation. To land the data, the latest models accumulated dan for this week of more than 100-150mm and up to 300 in areas of Galicia, Extremadura and Andalusia. In the case of Andalusia, in fact, the situation will be very complicated due to the extension of the Guadalquivir valley and the composition of its soil. More than 200mm are expected at the head of the river and a homogeneous average of 100mm in the basin. That, added to the fact that “The soil is clay and its use is agricultural.“, the filtration is very scarce. This has turned the flooding of the rivers and streams in the Guadalquivir basin and adjacent areas (such as the Guadalete or the Mediterranean basins of Granada) into a ticking bomb. “The highest hydrometeorological impacts in the world”. As Martín León explainedis not a figure of speech, it is an enormous risk: the highest impacts in the world are expected. In fact, as the hours pass, the predictions they seem to get worse and floods, overflows and landslides seem inevitable. The first symptoms of flooding, in fact, have already been detected in Andalusia via satellite. How normal is this? To emphasize that we are not facing a normal situation, it is enough to take a look at the ECMWF EFIthe index that measures how extreme the atmospheric phenomena are: the entire south-southwest of the peninsula is in red, the highest level. Rain on wet. But, as I say, that is not the main problem. The main problem is that, after these days of heavy rain, the soil is extremely saturatedthe reservoirs are being forced to drain and the system’s retention capacity is at minimum levels. In mountain areas, water it’s starting to flow directly from the ground. To this we can add that the Pyrenees and the rest of the northern mountains they have a historic snow pack. We are, as all models show, in the middle of a perfect storm. This means that the Hydrographic Confederations will have a lot of work and the problems have only just begun. Special attention will have to be paid to rivers, streams and areas at risk of land displacement. Complicated hours are approaching and any precaution will be insufficient.

Spain prepares for a “festival” of Atlantic storms

by

After a month of January that has been through water and snow (especially the last few weeks) and in which the Sun has made little appearance, all eyes are on how the month of February will start this Sunday. But a priori, the trend of constant rains seems to continue to prevail throughout the peninsular territory, as AEMET itself has pointed out in its latest bulletin. Boiled. This is undoubtedly the best summary we have for what we will see throughout the month of February, at least until the 22nd, which is what it covers the latest prediction from the national meteorological agency. And the fault is not an isolated front that reaches the peninsula, but a real carousel of fronts that will come and go of the national territory. This means that rainfall throughout the month of February will be above average, and a significant rainfall surplus is expected, especially in the west of the peninsula, Extremadura and the central-southern area. Something similar to what we have had in recent days, so we will not find any changes. They are persistent. As we say, prediction models such as ECMWF point to an atmospheric configuration that opens the door to the continuous arrival of storms from the Atlantic, a scenario that counteracts the initial forecasts that it was going to be a much drier winter than usual. And this change in the forecast completely breaks the trend of the dry environment and it is good news, since the reservoirs begin to fill for spring and summer. Something that is undoubtedly very positive in case half of the year the trend continues to be quite dry and that could be a serious problem if we had not now filled our water reserves. The cold on pause. If the water is the protagonist, the temperature is the supporting actress that surprises, and despite the rain and overcast skies, we are not going to experience extreme cold. Something that agrees with what the AEMET pointed out when seeing that we have been there for three years (for now) without a great cold wave throughout Spain. That is why normal temperatures or slightly above the historical average are expected, and without severe frosts. This is because the Atlantic air flow, being oceanic and humid, usually tempers the environment, avoiding the drastic drops in thermometers typical of continental or Siberian air inlets. In the long term. These predictions are made with the ECMWF models with their weekly maps and clearly show the persistence of low pressures surrounding the peninsula until the middle of the month. But in the long term everything can end up changing and give a very different prognosis. Although it is true that combining it with ICON and other global models reinforces the instability forecast, which increases the reliability of this prediction throughout the month of February.

While Silicon Valley dreams of servers in orbit, Russia prepares a nuclear reactor on lunar soil

by

Until recently, the space race was about seeing who could get there first. Today, the question is different: who will be able to turn on the light on the Moon? While companies like Google or Nvidia imagine satellites loaded with computers for their Artificial Intelligence, Russia has hit the table with a much more earthly (or lunar) plan: installing a small nuclear power plant on the surface of our satellite. A reactor by 2036. The Russian space corporation, Roscosmos, has signed a state contract with the aerospace company NPO Lavochkin to develop a lunar nuclear power plant. According to Reutersthe deadline marked in the contract is 2036. However, the political times are much more aggressive: Yury Borisov, head of Roscosmos, has placed the real operational window between 2033 and 2035. Although official statements sometimes avoid the word “nuclear” directly, project participants dispel any doubts, the Kurchatov Institute (a leader in nuclear research in Russia) and Rosatom (the state atomic flagship company) are in charge. As the Interfax media points outthe objective is to power the infrastructure of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a joint project with China that seeks to move from “round trip” missions to a permanent human presence. But why what nuclear? A colony on the Moon faces nights that last 14 Earth days. During that time, the frigid temperatures and lack of light make the solar panels useless to keep astronauts alive or power life support systems. Mikhail Kovalchuk, head of the Kurchatov Institute, he explained in an interview with the Russian agency TASS that Russia must “run forward.” According to this medium, the country seeks to consolidate its leadership through the “Atomic Project 2.0”, which includes new generation reactors and closed cycle systems. It’s not just about science; Russia admits that partners like China and India have learned a lot from them and are now direct competitors. Eyes in the sky: preparing the ground. For the Russian reactor to reach the Moon, Moscow is already preparing the logistics. According to another TASS statementRussia plans to launch 52 satellites from the Vostochny cosmodrome. Among them, the Aist-2T stands out, capable of creating 3D models of the lunar terrain and monitoring emergency situations. It is the necessary infrastructure so that the “lunar atom” does not suffer the same fate as the failed Luna-25 probe in 2023. The Moscow-Beijing axis: a long-range alliance. This deployment is not a solitary effort. As Interfax detailsRussia and China formalized their ambition in May 2024 with a memorandum of cooperation for the joint construction of this nuclear plant. They are not starting from scratch: both countries presented a roadmap in 2021 that includes five joint missions to deploy modules in lunar orbit and surface. While Russia brings its historical advantage in space nuclear facilities, China provides the scientific capacity and resources for the ILRS Station to be permanently inhabited from 2030. The board of the new Cold War. Washington has not stood idly by in the face of the Russian-Chinese alliance. NASA has received a clear directive from the current administration, in which they state that They need a reactor on the Moon by 2030. “We are in a race with China,” said Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation and who has led this directive. The background of this urgency is not only prestige, but the control of strategic resources. The Moon is the great deposit of Helium-3, an extremely rare isotope that is emerging as the “fuel of the future” for nuclear fusion. The White House’s fear is that if the alliance between Russia and China comes sooner, they will be able to declare “exclusion zones,” blocking access to this isotope and other essential metals for the technology industry. Faced with this threat, the US has increased the power of its nuclear project from the original 40 kW to a minimum power of 100 kW. Infrastructure over prestige. The space race of the 21st century has ceased to be a question of prestige and has become a question of infrastructure. While Big Tech tries to solve its energy limits with promises of servers in orbitRussia and China have opted for the pragmatism of the reactor on solid, but lunar, soil.

It reaches almost 10% of the market when Microsoft prepares to retire Windows 10

by

Microsoft prepares to close the Windows 10 cycle. On October 14, 2025 will stop receiving security updatesa decision that places Millions of teams In a vulnerable scenario. Without those patches, any discovered failure could be exploited, something that worries both in the domestic and business. We do not talk about a minor recommendation, but about a change that affects the installed base of more numerous computers on the planet. The movement has put many users in the face of a complex dilemma. Migrate to Windows 11 It seems the logical path, but it is not always possible without going through the box. The system requires hardware compatible with technologies such as TPM 2.0 and a generation of relatively modern processors. Those who do not meet these criteria are forced to maintain Windows 10 No support or directly renew your PC, Although in some Microsoft markets have enabled exceptions that allow to extend one more year the reception of updates if certain conditions are met. What is happening with Windows 7 in the middle of 2025 September 2025 He brought an unexpected surprise. According to Statcounter records, Windows 10 decreased to 40.5% of the market, its lowest level since November 2017. At the same time, Windows 11 was headed with 48.9%confirming that the generational relief is underway. So far, evolution seems logical, except for a detail that especially caught attention. That detail is Windows 7. The system that was left without support in 2020 and that he even saw his update program extended in 2023 reappeared strongly. In a matter of weeks, it went from fees close to 3% to register 9.61% in September. The magnitude of the jump makes it difficult to imagine mass migrations towards such an old software, but the numbers are there. Before drawing precipitated conclusions, remember how these statistics are built. Statcounter does not access the Microsoft telemetrythe only one capable of offering exact figures. Your methodology is based In a code installed by more than 1.5 million web pages distributed throughout the world. Each visit counts which operating and browser system has been used, so that the percentages result from millions of daily interactions with third -party sites. This is an approach offers a very wide sample, but it is still a sampling. Statcounter ensures that it eliminates bots traffic and adjusts certain technical parameters such as Chrome pre -demand. The September graph leaves an obvious unknown. Windows 7 suddenly appears with a weight that I did not have in the previous months, which breaks the descending trajectory that It seemed definitive. What is behind that change? With the information available, it should only be recognized that there is no clear response and that any attempt of explanation would be speculative. The transition to Windows 11 is marked by security, and in that field the nuances matter. Microsoft repeats that maintaining a system without support is an exhibition, although it is also aware that the change is not always immediate. Therefore, together with the announcement of the end of Windows 10, it introduced mechanisms to give users a margin. Consequently, two ways have been established. For domestic users, At least in the European Unionthere is the possibility of receiving for a year more security updates when associating the equipment With a Microsoft account. Both in the particular and business field, the option of subscribing to the program of Extended security updateswhich guarantees up to three additional years of patches. These measures do not change the final horizon, but allow migration to a supported version. Ultimately, it is the users themselves who must assess what to do with their teams. Some will stretch Windows 10 as long as that extension lasts, others will make the leap to Windows 11 and there will be those who even consider alternatives outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Statistics offer a global photograph, but each case has its own nuances. The question is open: how will you manage the end of Windows 10?

The US government prepares a law that threatens death its business abroad

by

The strip and loosen of Nvidia and the US government has no end. The soap opera starring the GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) H20 It has finished, but another one is already taking shape. In the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions to The export to China of this chipwhat in practice caused that it stop arriving at the Chinese clients of this company. Three months later and after arduous negotiations Nvidia got the license again I needed to sell the H20 GPU in China. Currently Chinese clients from Nvidia They are not buying this chip Because the administration of the cyberspace of China (CAC), which is the main Internet regulatory body in this country, This GPU is thoroughly investigating Because he suspects that he could incorporate a rear door of difficult location by Chinese experts. Nvidia has denied it, but it seems that this GPU is sentenced in China. Be as currently the company led by Jensen Huang has a major problem. And he doesn’t have it in China. He has it in the US. Last Tuesday, American legislators presented a bill in which they propose to demand chips designers for the US to prioritize the national orders of these GPU before giving them to foreign buyers. However, this is not all. In addition, this bill explicitly proposes that exports of the highest range IA GPUs are denied. If this initiative thrives the business of Nvidia, AMD and other US companies abroad will suffer a lot. The Trump administration has changed strategy about China and Nvidia As expected, Nvidia has not stayed with crossed hands. A spokesman for this company has made the following statement to Tom’s hardware: “Our sales to customers around the world do not deprive the US customers. The Chinese chips industry has advanced a lot during the last five years, and will surely continue to do so From one thing we can be sure: everything that is happening in the US has China as a backdrop. The Chinese industry of integrated circuits has advanced a lot during the last five years, and certainly will continue to do so. It is very likely that in 2026 Chinese manufacturers have their own extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment (UVE). And currently Huawei, Moore Threads, Cambricon Technologies and other Chinese companies have GPU for some scenarios They compete with the Nvidia and AMD chips. The independence of the Chinese semiconductor industry is underway. The best output given this juncture for the US is none other than to deliver to China in a controlled way advanced chips for AI, but less powerful than the most capable that design Nvidia, AMD or brains. In this way this Asian country may relax a bit its ambition for development and independence. This is exactly what the Trump administration is doing by allowing Nvidia to give your GPU your H20 again, as Chris Miller holdsthe author of ‘The chips war’in his Newsletter. The Chinese government He is urging Chinese companies that are dedicated to the development of large models of AI to use in their servers integrated circuits of Chinese origin, so it is reasonable to anticipate that Nvidia will gradually lose presence in China. Even so, this company will continue with good health because His robustness in the global market It is undeniable. What is not clear is what will happen if the bill we have spoken a few lines outstands. The US is interested in continuing to sell its chips abroad, but this initiative defends that the best exclusively should be left. China already knows what this measure implies, but now it is possible that other countries also try it. Even if they are US allies.

China prepares one of the biggest military parades in history. It will be, above all, a warning to the world

by

On September 3, Beijing will convert Tiananmen Square in the epicenter of an unprecedented demonstration of force. China will organize a military parade massive to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. In addition, it will also be the perfect time to show the military capacities acquired under the mandate of Xi Jinping. An event of magnitudes. More than 10,000 military personnel, a hundred aircraft and several hundred land vehicles will participate in A 70 -minute ceremony which promises to be the largest Chinese armament exhibition since 2019. The parade will include 45 troops formations and will present more than 100 different types of military equipment, all national production and active duty. We don’t know everything. Chinese authorities have confirmed that a great proportion of the weapons will be completely new. Among the novelties are hypersonic missiles capable of traveling five times the speed of sound, antimile defense systems, directed energy weapons, autonomous combat drones and electronic warfare systems. According to Major general Wu Zeke, deputy director in charge of the military parade, these weapons “will fully demonstrate the solid capacity of our army to adapt to technological advances and win future wars.” A message for another recipient. Although officially commemorates the victory over Japan, the parade has a strategic objective between the lines: show the United States and its allies in the Pacific The new Chinese military capacity. The analysts They expect See new anti-buque missile models such as YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 E YJ-20, specifically designed to neutralize carriers and deny access to Western naval forces in the region. Taiwan in the spotlight. The arsenal that Beijing will also have direct implications for Taiwan’s future. The new tanks with unmanned turrets and active protection systems would significantly complicate the island’s defense strategy, which is based on mobile and cheap anti -tank weapons. As Point out Sheu Jyh-Shyang, from the Taiwan National Defense and Security Research Institute: “This is not good news for Taiwan.” Putin as guest star. The confirmed presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin with Xi Jinping during the ceremony sends another powerful geopolitical message. Putin already attended the great military parade of China in 2015, when the majority of Western leaders declined the invitation, so it is another step in The alliance between the two countries in front of the West. The backdrop. The military power deployment comes at a time of maximum tension in the Pacific. The popular liberation army has intensified your exercises Simulating blockages and attacks against Taiwan, while systematically denies the operation capacity of US forces in the region. Beijing has promised to reveal more details about the specific weapons that will be shown in the coming weeks.

Asturias prepares the greatest experiment in Spain to reduce the day

by

When the national debate seemed focused on (still stagnant) Reduction of the working day At 37.5 hours a week, Asturias has decided to step on the accelerator. The Principality government has launched the machinery to launch an experiment on the four -day work week in the region, a movement that resurrects one of the Conversations about the future of work in our country. The first step have already taken it. From the regional government They have already tendered The study that will serve as a road map in this ‘experiment’. The objective they have is clear: analyze the viability and The economic impact to implement a 32 week weekly day in the business fabric of the region. A necessary study to be a success. This study, which will have a value of 16,862 eurosan external consultant will be held. In its content, what is going to be collected will be the similar projects that have been made in other regions, with their failures and their mistakes. In this way, we will not try not to fall into the same stone again as other autonomous communities or other regions of the European Union. In addition, it will also identify the key sectors of the Asturian economy where it would be more feasible to apply this reduction in working hours, and especially where there will really be a benefit of having a four -day day. From there, the assessment of unions, employer and company will be collected to have a complete vision of the consequences that this measure can have. When it will be launched. Once the report has been launched in tender, the manager who manages to get him will have a period of three months to be able to collect all this information, so we can easily leave the next year. When you have all this information, it will be when the Government will propose to companies the possibility of joining this initiative. The main focus will be in the private company. Sources from the Ministry of Science, Industry and Employment They have detailed To El País that the objective will be the private company in this experiment. Although they will also analyze the viability in the public company. But what is clear is that participation will be voluntary, as detailed in the agreement signed between the regional government with the employer and the unions. In these same statementsthe Ministry suggests that this model make Asturias one of the first communities to apply this labor model, aspiring to be one of the greatest experiments in Spain in this area. All this because so far the projects that have come forward have focused on very specific areas of a province or have been a failure, as in the case of the Plan of the Ministry of Industry. The great debate: how will affect salary. Logic can mark that a reduction in the number of hours worked It also carries a reduction in monthly salary. But this is something that at the moment is not clarified in the position by the Principality. As they point out, there is a “varied casuistry” and that, in the absence of a national regulation, it is an “issue to negotiate in each labor relationship.” Precisely, the study that has been in charge will be focused on shedding light on how this problem with companies should be solved. There are a history in Spain. To see similar projects we can go to Valencia in the spring of 2023, where the City Council of the capital tested the four -day week turning on Mondays.
