This incorporation underscores the locality's commitment to the future of the ceramic industry, a fundamental sector for the province of Castellón. The first edition of the congress will take place on September 28 and 29 and will bring together professionals and experts to address the most important challenges facing the sector.
Key topics to be discussed include decarbonization, industrial digitalization, sustainability, and geopolitics applied to the sector. The alliance with the L'Alcora City Council brings significant symbolic and strategic value, given the municipality's deep connection to the history and development of ceramics.
“"This institutional backing consolidates the event's dimension and helps align the territory's ceramic tradition with the innovation processes that mark the sector's transformation."
The program for this inaugural edition is structured around five major thematic axes. One of these is real and competitive decarbonization, which will analyze energy alternatives to advance sustainability without compromising the economic viability of companies. The focus will also be on deep industrial digitalization, with special attention to the potential of artificial intelligence and digital twins to optimize production processes.
Additionally, content will include advanced ceramic materials, new applications in contemporary architecture, and industrial circularity strategies for more efficient resource management. Another important block will be dedicated to industrial geopolitics, examining how international markets and regulations influence the evolution and competitiveness of the Castellón ceramic sector.
IGNITE is born with the vocation of being a catalyst for ideas and a platform for technological and strategic exchange for the ceramic industry. With the incorporation of L'Alcora, the congress gains institutional presence and seeks to position Castellón at the center of the debate on the future of the tile sector.
