If you do not protect your technological ones, they will leave the old continent

by

Christophe Fouquet, the general director of ASML, has a huge challenge ahead. Like its predecessor at the head of this Dutch company, Peter Wennink, has the obligation to Defend your company’s interests. And currently the tension held by the US and China does not make it easy. The sanctions that They have deployed US and the Netherlands They prevent Asml selling Your most advanced lithography teams To its Chinese clients. And neither can some maintenance and after -sales services services provide. In 2022 the sales of this company in China amounted to 2.9 billion euros, which represented 13.8% of its annual sales. At that time Taiwan was a more important market for Asml than China. In fact, in 2023 the clients of the island bought lithography equipment for a total value of 8,100 million euros, while its Chinese clients disbursed 7.3 billion euros. And, curiously, in 2024 China was consolidated as The largest market for ASML with total sales of 10.2 billion euros. Christophe Fouquet’s warning does not concern Asml In the Netherlands 2024 will be remembered as the year in which the strap between ASML and the Dutch government reached its maximum expression. Christophe Fouquet He is convinced that the US will continue to put pressure on its partners to tighten the sanctions that seek to stop the development of the Chinese industry of the integrated circuits. In fact, according to the British weekly The Economistthis executive argues that European politicians and regulators should do more to help their company. “Europe should decide for itself what you want (…) should not be dictated by anyone else” However, Fouquet’s statements do not end here. He has also defended that Europe “should decide for itself what you want” and “should not be dictated by anyone else.” Otherwise, He has warnedleading European companies in strategic technologies, among which are ASML, could consider move outside the old continent. His tone reflects a certain degree of helplessness, but in practice his company would be very difficult to relocate out of Europe. On the one hand its supply chain is mostly deployed in this continent. And, in addition, the US will continue to exercise control of the American patents used by ASML regardless of the place where it resides. Christophe Fouquet’s discontent is evident, but it does not seem to have much room for maneuver. At this juncture his only hope is the Government of the Netherlands. In fact, the Dutch administration is fully aware that it cannot let its most important technology company leave its country of origin. This possibility triggered the launch in March 2024 by the government that was then led by Mark Rutte of the ‘Operation Beethoven’. This plan is still underway. And in a better way than ever. It will finally collect 2.5 billion euros with the purpose of improving homes, transport, education and electricity supply of the Eindhoven region, which is very close to Asml’s headquarterswhich is housed in Veldhoven. Although, curiously, ASML and Philips will contribute contributing with other Dutch technology companies 230 million euros to this plan. It does not sound bad, but it seems unlikely that this initiative is sufficient to content Asml.

A direct response to the technological pulse with the United States

by

The European Union begins to move with greater decision so as not to be left behind in the race for artificial intelligence (AI), where the United States and China mark the rhythm. A little over a month ago, the European Commission announced an investment of 150,000 million euros with that goal. Now, it takes a new step focused on reinforcing its technological sovereignty in key sectors, with a new investment of 1.3 billion euros. The objective of investment. The initiative seeks to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in companies and public administrations, also reinforcing the capacities in cloud services and cybercraft. In Brussels they leave no doubt: they consider this technology as critical and strategic for the future of Europe and its digital sovereignty. Therefore, it is included within the Europe Digital (Digital) Program For the 2025-2027 period. Thus the investment will be divided. It has not been detailed how many millions will receive each area, but it has been defined how the budget will be distributed. Experiment with immersive environments, called “virtual worlds”, apply the AI ​​law and develop common data spaces with an efficient approach to energy consumption. Strengthen the European Digital Innovation Centers (EDIH) to facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence in companies and public administrations. Promote the Destination Earth project, which seeks to build a digital model of the planet to support disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. Strengthen cybersecurity capabilities, including the development of the EU cybersecurity reserve. Promote the training and attraction of talent in digital competences from educational centers and professional training. Display the new EU digital identity portfolio and its trust infrastructure, and foster its adoption in the Member States. Accelerate the digitalization of the public sector through the development of interoperable, efficient and high quality services. Open call. The European Commission will open in April 2025 the first calls of the new Digital Europewith others planned throughout the year. The bases will be available in the EU Official Financing Portal, and will allow to present projects focused on generative artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, virtual worlds, digital public services and European digital identity, among others. These calls do not distribute funds without more: they are competitive processes where interested entities must submit concrete proposals, with clear objectives and detailed execution plans. If the project convinces, you can receive financing for its development, implementation and application in real life. So the specific recipients of the 1.3 billion euros announced today have not yet been defined. Towards a lower foreign dependence. As collected The Europe Digital Program page“The important thing is that Europe does not depend on systems and solutions from other regions of the world.” In that line, the European Commission has been promoting different strategic initiatives to strengthen its technological autonomy. One of them is the Chips Lawcreated to deal with the scarcity of semiconductors. And what about regulation? The European Union was positioned as a world pioneer by being the first to regulate artificial intelligence, But criticism soon arrived. Several experts warned that a regulatory framework could stop innovation, just at a time when Europe competes with giants such as the United States and China. French president himself, Emmanuel Macron, described the rules of the block as “punitive” and demanded a more competitive strategy to boost a European AI. At the end of last year, shortly before starting his second term at the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen He acknowledged that European startups They face a clear disadvantage against their American counterparts, and proposed new measures to close that gap. It will be necessary to see if these efforts give results and allow the old continent to position themselves better in the career for artificial intelligence, technological development and the long -awaited digital sovereignty.

Large technological ones begin to turn with their investment in data centers

by

Everything was frenzy in the data centers segment a few weeks ago. The Big Tech fought to see What is the one that was spent more money facing the theoretical (and inevitable?) AI revolution. Microsoft was one of the champions of this bet, but the panorama is changing, and there are those who talk about how the segment has been oversized. 2 GW less. As indicated In BloombergMicrosoft has abandoned its plans to create several new data centers in the US and Europe. The joint power of these projects would be 2 GW according to analysts of the TD Cowen firm, and the reason attributed to the decision is singular: now it turns out that there is an excessive supply of clusters dedicated to artificial intelligence. Or what is the same: there will be enough data centers dedicated to AI. There is already talk of a “bubble of data centers”. Joe Tsai, president of the Chinese group Alibaba, He warned these days precisely from the potential existence of a bubble of data centers for ia. To this millionaire fever for these ambitious projects begins to seem indiscriminate, and highlighted how in some cases there may be no clear clients to direct those resources. Plan to invest 52,000 million dollars in data centers, but within three years, therefore therefore of the 100,000 million dollars of Amazonthe 80,000 of Microsoft, the 75,000 Alphabet or the 65,000 finish In a single year. An exaggerated demand is being screened. This manager also spoke of the hypothetical investment of 500,000 million dollars of the Stargate project. “I think, in a way, people are investing anticipating the demand they are seeing today, but they are projecting a much greater demand (of which there may be).” China in fact accumulates unfortunate data centers. In Microsoft they relax their strategy. Redmond’s firm, said these analysts, has made this decision shortly after loosen ties with OpenAicompany in which it has invested around 13,000 million dollars. That will cause the company led by Sam Altman to go to cloud services of other partners. Google and Meta take the opportunity. The withdrawal of these projects assumes that Microsoft has annulled some of those contracts and postponed others. Interestingly Google and Meta seem to have taken advantage and have appropriated some of the projects that Microsoft has abandoned in Europe. The details of the projects from which the firm has been withdrawn are not known, and neither if that change of plans could affect projects already signed such as data centers They are already announced in Aragon. We already have enough. A Microsoft spokesman indicated in a statement to Bloomberg how the company has already made a significant investment. “While we may reduce or strategically adjust our infrastructure in some areas, we will continue to grow strongly in all regions,” he explained. “This allows us to invest and assign resources to growth areas for our future.” In recent times we are also seeing how climbing no longer compensates so much, and GPT-4.5 is a good demonstration of it. What about ambition. At the beginning of the year we knew that Microsoft expect to invest 80,000 million dollars throughout fiscal year 2025 in the construction of new data centers. These intentions are maintained according to their spokesman, but they hope that the growth rate should slow down the next fiscal year, and the efforts will focus on filling those server data centers and other equipment.

Technological millionaires bet on Trump in January. In March, 209,000 million have lost

by

On January 20, 2025, the CEO and founders of the main technology companies in the US staged their support for Donald Trump, beyond the one they had given a few days before contributing a million dollars By head on your visit to Mar-a-Lago. Since that day, Elon Musk’s fortunes, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg shot as they had never doneobtaining huge profits in stock markets. A month and a half later, The stage is very different For these millionaires, who chain one day after another of Free fall contributionsthe S&P 500 index falling 6.4% and the Nasdaq technological collapsing 4%. A downturn of 209,000 million dollars. Trump’s tariff policies have created enormous uncertainty in the markets before The fear of an economic recession self -imposed by constant threats of the president to its neighboring countries and its economic partners. That stock market debacle is wreaking havoc in the fortunes of the main flag bearers of Donald Trump. According to estimates of Bloomberg Based on the price of the companies that founded and direct, the joint losses of the millionaires who support Donald Trump during their investiture would exceed 209,000 million dollars. Elon Musk: The Tesla Suflé is left 148,000 million. The electric car manufacturer won 98% After the electionscatapulting Elon Musk’s fortune until Beyond 420,000 million dollars. With the stock indices in a state of panic for the shadow of an economic recession, its price left another 15% yesterday adding losses of 127,000 million dollars of capitalization. That leaves Elon Musk as one of the main affected by the bloodbath that are suffering the quotes of the actions of the company he directs, aggravated by the New descents in sales internationals of their cars and protests for their measures in front of Doge. Jeff Bezos is left 29,000 million Amazon. Jeff Bezos had his most and less with Donald Trump during his first term to the story of his newspaper and for the Use of postal service Amazon of the US. For this second term, the millionaire has served Donald Trump the Washington Post’s opinion column And he is working on his differences with respect to Use of the postal system. According to Bloomberg, Amazon shares have fallen 14% since January 2025, so Jeff Bezos would have lost about 29,000 million dollars in estimating his fortune. Serguéi Brin and the siege of Google. Google’s co -founder was openly disagreed with the policies of Donald Trump’s first mandate. However, he did not have the slightest problem to dinner with the new president-elect to Mar-a-lago after the elections, and present his respects in the form of a million dollars to cover his investiture. Since January 2025, Alphabet actions have fallen by 7%, largely driven by the Failure to comply with estimates of quarterly income, although the pressures of the Department of Justice have also influenced him to divide your company. As a founder, Brin has 6% of the company, so a loss of 22,000 million dollars is estimated in just over seven weeks. Mark Zuckerberg surfs the wave. Mark Zuckerberg is demonstrating to be an excellent strategist when save from stock market. Facebook’s founding millionaire did not hesitate gamble to moderation and equality policies in your company to win The sympathies of President Trump. However, it has remained enough away from it so that it is others who receive the collateral damage to their policies. Meta rose 19% its price since mid -January. However, the quotes of the Magnificent seven have collapsed in the last days, dragging a 20% drop from its maximum of December. That has generated a 5,000 million less hole in the estimation of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune. Something that It doesn’t seem to worry in excess. Bernard Arnault: It rains on wet. Bernard Arnault was the richest person in the world for a good part of 2024 and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. However, bad results in sales of LVMH luxury productsmade his fortune lose several positions. That did not prevent him from going next to your family to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Since January, LVMH had recovered 20% of its price, but as of February, LVMHY’s price has progressively left its profits. One of the reasons: the tariffs between 10% and 20% that Donald Trump had announced For European luxury goods. As a result, the fortune of the French tycoon is estimated at 5,000 million less.

It is China’s key towards technological self -sufficiency

by

RISC-V architecture plays a central role in China’s strategy. This technology is A free hardware alternative Both Intel and AMD X86-64 designs and CPUs with ARM architecture that have proliferated in recent years. For the country led by Xi Jinping represents the opportunity to hold its technological development Despite the sanctions of the US -led alliance. In fact, the Chinese government has created a consortium of companies and research institutes that seeks to develop chips with this architecture. Tencent, Alibaba and the Academy of Sciences of China are some of the organizations that are working on the development of RISC-V architecture, and the US administration is very worried. It is because this technology can be used to point out extraordinarily capable supercomdators. In fact, Europe already has Epac ready (European Processor Accelerator), its first RISC-V chip, and has been designed to reside inside the next European superorders. Alibaba’s Xuantie C930 processor is a great opportunity for China At the end of August the Chinese company Unisoc presented its E450R chipa processor implemented on the RISC-V architecture that integrates an asymmetric cryptography engine 50% faster than that implemented by UNISOC in its previous security chip. In addition, according to this company, it offers a 50% improvement in transactions -based applications, so, a priori, it is ideal for high demand environments. Anyway, as we have seen, there are other Chinese companies working in RISC-V processors. “This open source chip will help build an inclusive and collaborative global ecosystem” Damo Academy, the Alibaba subsidiary dedicated to research, has developed The Xuantie C930 server processor. This chip with RISC-V architecture is expressly designed for work on high performance environmentslike the servers of the data centers, and, even, the autonomous cars, so it represents a very important step of China at a juncture in which the US sanctions and its allies prevent you from accessing the processors for more advanced servers currently available. Nor Guangnan, an academic from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has declared That “this open source chip will help build an inclusive and collaborative Global RISC-V ecosystem, becoming the new disruption engine of the semiconductor industry.” On the other hand, an analyst from the Guotai Junan Securities consultant assures that “in the same way that Depseek has challenged OpenAi monopoly with its open source advantages, low cost and high performance, RISC-V shows significant potential in the AI ​​era.” These two statements synthesize very well why this Alibaba processor is so important to China. In fact, the country led by Xi Jinping needs this type of solutions to sustain its technological development despite the restrictions that come from the US and its allies. In addition, Alibaba has confirmed that he will begin to distribute this chip to his clients During this Marchalthough it has not required how many units it currently has. What has corroborated is that it will maintain its available design to graduate it to other integrated circuit designers who are interested in it.

Unitree is one of the Chinese technological jewels. He wants to do with robots the same thing Xiaomi did with mobiles

by

In advanced robotics are Boston Dynamics or Tesla who monopolizes the headlines, but a Chinese company is following an alternative path to end up being The next big one of the robotic sector: Unitree. Founded in 2016 in Hangzhou, on the East China coast, it follows a strategy that reminds a lot of that of Xiaomi in its beginnings: Try to offer the best possible technology at demolition prices. Thus Xiaomi conquered countries like Spain and thus tries to make a hole in world robotics. Of course, the prices of this type of robots have nothing to do with those of a Redmi. Value proposal The price difference is large. One of Boston Dynamics’s most famous robots, Spot, costs about $ 75,000. The unitree Go2, relatively similar, It is sold for 1,600 in its cheapest mode. This strategy has allowed him to dominate the square robot market, where he already has a 40% market share according to the Gaogong Institute. The most important thing is not so much the price and what it implies: A paradigm shift in the way of selling advanced robotics. Other manufacturers focus their robots as premium products for companies or for armies. Unitree understands them as massive technology. Or almost. After quadruped robots, the big challenge is in the bipeds. The humanoids. And there Unitree has his G1 modelwhich sells for $ 16,000. A lot of money, but quite less than what is expected that costs the Tesla optimus. Image: Unitree. Its specifications: Height of 1.32 meters (approximately a nine -year -old child). Weight of 35 kilos. Race speed of 2 meters per second (7.2 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a very slow trot). Lidar 3D. Intel Realsense depth chamber (only this component is already worth $ 1,300 in the free market). Advanced voice control. Beyond specifications, G1 is an example of the Pragmatic Approach of Unitree: it does not seek spectacular demos of its humanoid robotics, but the ability to produce them in mass. It is no accident that Unitree has left Hanghzou. From there they have come out Many other technological ones And it is in fact the headquarters of Alibaba. It is the place where Capital, talent and manufacturing converge. Hangzhou is one of the vertices of what we could call the Chinese technological trianglenext to Shenzhen and Shanghai. And within Hanghzou, Unitree is one of the calls “Six small dragons“: The six startups that are emerging in AI and Robotics. Of course, another of the Dragoncitos is Deepseek. To understand Unitree’s strategic importance: it was One of the 18 companies chosen by Xi Jinping For the technological symposium of a few days ago with Deepseek, Huawei, Byd, Tencent, Xiaomi, Catl … a sign of power and faith. The founder’s enigma The founder of Unitree is Wang Xingxingsomeone who breaks several stereotypes: He studied at the University of Science and Technology of Zhejiang, a respectable but not first level institution. Many founders of their generation did study in elite centers or abroad. He was never a brilliant student … Not much less. Xingxing itself admitted that He could not enter the University of Zhejiang (more prestigious) for not having enough English level. After spending a couple of months in DJIthe giant of the droneshe was encouraged to launch his own company. And he said In an interviewthe beginnings were hard: “During the first three years there were times when we couldn’t even pay salaries.” Again, a modest beginning that contrasts with the usual pattern of high -profile Chinese startups, which usually start with large rounds of financing and management equipment from large technological ones. This is the case of Xpeng, Child either Bytedance. Wang, on the other hand, started practically from scratch, sleeping for a month on a friend’s couch. His vision was also atypically modest for a Chinese technological founder. Instead of distilling excessive ambition with a certain grandiloquence, he set a simple objective: to get anyone to have a robot at home. At the moment he is not going wrong with that idea. The challenges to grow Despite its good tour to this day, it remains a lot to solve for the future. Starting with autonomy. Their humanoid robots have for about two hours of useinsufficient for prolonged use. And the guarantee is Only eight monthssomething that can deter more than one buyer from products several thousand dollars. How to offer adequate technical service when something goes to a client from anywhere in the world is another unknown. And of course, it remains to be seen if these robots can do real domestic tasks, completely, without requiring human help or auction, in such different environments as the home of each consumer. Very different to do so in a demo in a controlled environment. Million’s question is If Unitree’s business model will be sustainable in the long term. Prices remain low thanks to vertical integration and their physical closeness with the Chinese supply chain, but advanced robotics in 2025 is an insatiable investment plaintiff in R&D. And do it with tight margins complicates the equation. Future unknowns on the margin, Unitree represents well to A new generation of Chinese technology: Those that compete around the world with tight prices and a very pragmatic approach, more focused on assuming tedious tasks than in making us crack our eyebrows with magic tricks. Now, its success – or its failure – can end up determining whether advanced robotics ends up becoming a technology for the masses … or if you stay in a premium niche product. At the moment, Unitree has shown that there is a certain market for advanced robotics when it is offered at mundane prices. Now you will have to show that you can keep the accelerator pedal tread.

This is how Ech works, the Technological Shield of Cloudflare that has put the operators between the sword and the wall

by

The LaLiga fight against illegal soccer broadcasts It has encountered an unexpected obstacle: Ech (Encrypted Client Hello), an encryption protocol that stars in the great conflict and the collateral damage of this battle, which splashes thousands of companies. Turning point. It all started when Cloudflare implemented in October 2023 (Encrypted Client Hello), an extension of TLS that prevents operators from identifying which specific domain is requesting the user. This protocol makes it technically impossible for operators to see which specific domain requests a user. The contrast. ECH works as an additional encryption layer that completely hides the final destination of a connection: When a user tries to access a website, his browser initiates an encrypted “negotiation” (Handshake TLS) With the server. Before ECH, although this connection was encrypted, the name of the domain was traveling “in clear” so that the intermediate servers could enrut the traffic. With ECH, the name of the domain is also encrypted, making it impossible for the operators to know which concrete website the user is accessing. The system is even more complicated because Cloudflare uses shared IPS: The same IP address can house hundreds or thousands of different websites. Without ECH, the operators could see what domain each user requested and block selectively. With ATU activated, they only see an encrypted IP that could be serving both legal and illegal content. This leaves two options to the operators: block all the IP (affecting hundreds or thousands of sites) or not blocking anything. When they choose the first thing the Blocked legitimate websites. To avoid blockages, which also translate into a reputational crisis, some operators are resorting to alternative techniques such as: Traffic patterns analysis. Deep inspection of packages (DPI). BLOCK BY SNI (Indication of the server name) when ECH is not active. But these solutions are complex, expensive and not always effective. The conflict has climbed, Movistar has softened his blockages, Digi has hardened them and Vodafone says to have a more precise solution although it has not revealed details yet (since Xataka We have asked them for this without having received an answer at the time of publishing this article). They possibly use one of the last points. The next. Ech has supposed a huge change in Internet architecture. The precedent of Austria, where IPS blockades were prohibited To protect the neutrality of the network, it suggests that the current regulation model needs to adapt to this new reality. Meanwhile, the pulse between LaLiga and Cloudflare persists, and thousands of Spanish companies also remain trapped in the midst of the conflict.

They prefer to work in a hospital than in a great technological

by

The labor market has not finished leaving the storm caused by the Generalized Teleworking Implementation and the subsequent movements of the companies to make their employees return to officeswhen you must face a new challenge. A study Made in the United States by the National Society of Hight School Scholars (NSHSS) has revealed the first signs of tired of generation Z with the Labor dynamics of the technological sector. The data suggest that, given a future marked by the arrival of AI, young people prefer to study careers related to the health or welfare scope, leaving aside the computer races or certain engineering. A sector at risk. Prominent voices at the head of large companies, Like Nvidia or aws, They have assured On different occasions that AI will make the engineers unnecessary know how to program. Technological profiles are expected to be the most sensitive to Automation Impact As companies begin to implement AI, which shows a bad expectation for the future for the sector. In addition, the job instabilitywith hundreds of thousands of annual layoffs in large companies, and their high rotation, it remains attractive to a Z generation that seeks economic stability for its future, such and as revealed The consultant’s survey What’s The Big Data. Generation Z prioritizes job stability. According to collected data By Networks Trends about a sample of more than 10,000 US students, 76% of the young Z generation who are graduating in universities prioritize a stable work careerabove the location of the company (75%), its reputation (72%) and even the possibility of obtaining a high salary (71%). 50% of respondents say they are very concerned because, after years of study of a career they like, the incorporation to A toxic work environment take them to suffer burnout or have trouble developing their career. With that fear in mind, many of the students have reduced their interest in great technological ones, which no longer offer the idyllic job environments years ago. Great technology are no longer preference. According to The study From HSHSS, newly graduated students are prioritizing working in companies in the health or welfare sector, instead of in the great technological ones that had been leading the listings of better places to work for years. According to these data, Google has gone from being the fourth company in which students would like to work in 2022, to occupy the seventh place on the list in 2024. Just behind we find Amazon and Apple, which have also fallen several positions. Companies like Spacex have fallen from the ninth place to the twenty -second. The trend also reaches Spain. Although at a slower pace, the change in trend in the election of careers, the branches of the field of health and social services have registered a significant increase between 2018 and 2024, as reflected in The study ‘Employability of young people in Spain of 2024’ prepared by the CYD Foundation. Computer and engineering careers continue to have A very important weight In the election of the students, but the careers of Medicine and Nursing have registered a very prominent rebound, although the report highlights that it is one of the sectors with the greatest temporality. Spain ages: sanitary ones are needed. He demographic aging In Spain it is one of the reasons why this health sector has grown 4% in the last year and faces a generational relief process given that, According to data Randstad, 40% of employees in this sector are over 45 years old. That is, unlike the technological that tends to specialization and automation, the health sector tends to need more personnel and with a low exposure to the impact of AI.

Technological millionaires have lost 108,000 million in a single day

by

Just take a look at the list of greater fortunes of the world to realize that, in one way or another, AI is the common denominator that has catapulted these fortunes at current levels. However, the earthquake caused by Deepseekhas caused investors to doubt the real value of the projects supported by large technological ones, which has picked up the value of their actions, dragging with them the fortunes of their CEOS and founders. Specifically, Fortune esteema joint loss of more than 108,000 million in a single day. It is not the first time This happens. Jensen Huang and Nvidia in the eye of the hurricane. The news that the new China has not used the most powerful processors Nvidia for its development has made the market assessment of the Jensen Huang company lost 400,000 million dollars. As a result of that fall, the Jensen Huang fortune He lost a value of 20,100 million dollars in just one day, which represents 20% of the total fortune. Larry Ellison’s infrastructure. Much of Oracle’s success in recent years has been based on the structure offered for AI, So it is not surprising that investors have also staged their doubts selling their positions in the company that founded and directs Larry Ellisonwhich currently occupies the fifth place among the greatest fortunes in the world. Percentage, the New York millionaire lost less than Huang with 12% of his fortune, but in absolute terms, Oracle’s fall after the presentation of Deepseek caused him a devaluation of his fortune estimated at 22.6 billion euros. Collateral damage of the fall. Together, technological giants lost about 94,000 million directly due to the depreciation of their market value due to the mass sale of shares. This fall caused an expansive wave in other indices that, indirectly, also suffered losses. The Nasdaq index 3.1% fell and the S&P 500 left 1.5%. For example, Michael Dell’s fortune, the computers giant13,000 million were left after the presentation of the new Chinese model, while the co -founder of Binance Holdings, Changpeng “CZ” Zhaolost 12,100 million dollars. Immune to earthquakes. Although the Deepseek’s emergence It has meant a tsunami for the AI ​​development scene, some leading actors seem to put their fortunes in dusty and left unscathed from this stock market shaking. The biggest beneficiary has been Bernard Arnault, who has known Fishing in a scrambled river Adding 5,000 million dollars to their fortune while most technological millionaires painted their negative balances. Worthy of a teacher in stock jarism has been the role of Mark Zuckerberg, who has not only unharmed the tsunami that has caused China, but has added 4.2 billion dollars to his fortune. Jeff Bezos, with a more discreet role, has added 519 million, but like Zuckerberg, he has fallen to the storm being one of the main investors in the development of AI.

A study reveals which technological profile will be the most sought after and best paid in 2025: interface designer

by

Choosing the right career at the right time can be the key to building a successful, well-paying career. Like every January, the employment platform Adecco presents its Adecco IT & Digital Salary Guidewhich analyzes the technological professions with the greatest demand forecast and, more importantly, with the best remuneration for non-managerial positions. That is, salaries between 35,000 and 45,000 euros. A technological engine. According to data from the study, the technology sector in Spain is boomingand already contributes 24% to the national GDP, although this percentage also includes technological activities derived from the digitalization processes of other sectors such as agriculture, industry or the services sector. Adecco assures that the IT sector has generated 26,267 new affiliates in the last year, and the professionals with technological profiles They are the most demanded by companies, ranking among the top five in autonomous communities such as Andalusia or Catalonia. UX Designers, the most in demand. The Adecco study points out the rise in demand for specialized professionals in the design of digital interfaces or UX/UI Designers. This profile is responsible for designing the way in which users should interact correctly with digital products, whether web pages, application interfaces and even the use menus of digital kiosks or sales terminals. Adecco also highlights the high demand that Customer Experience Specialist profiles, SEO/SEM experts, Social CRM Managers or Traffickers who are in charge of planning online advertising campaigns will have. And the best paid. In the salary estimate that Adecco makes in its study, two business scenarios are considered depending on whether you are going to work in a large multinational company or in an SME, and it classifies it into three scales conditioned on experience in the sector in ranges of three. , five or more than 10 years. A user interface designer with more than 10 years of experience is estimated to have an annual salary of around 49,000 euros gross if he works in a multinational, and 45,000 euros per year if he works in an SME. The place of residence matters a lot. Something that the salary ranges estimated by Adecco show is that the salary amount is not only influenced by working for a large multinational company or an SME, there is also a large salary gap depending on the autonomous community in which the job offer is created. We have already mentioned that a UX/UI designer can charge between 40,000 and 49,000 euros per year depending on the type of company. That would be if the job were in Barcelona. In Madrid, the same position would lower its salary range to between 35,000 and 40,000 euros, while, in Murcia, the salary for that position would plummet to a range of between 25,000 and 20,000 euros. A substantial difference for the same professional profile. Web designer, in an SME and in Murcia. The worst salary option in the table is found in the salary profile of web designers who are going to work in an SME in Murcia. The data foresees a salary range of 18,000 euros gross per year, and 20,000 euros for web designers who work for a multinational in that community.
