The President was accompanied by Antonio Muñoz, Mayor of Seville.

The visit, of an informal and relaxed nature, was aimed at getting to know some of the most outstanding projects of the company, with a growing international presence at the forefront of technological innovation and a long history in the aerospace sector. 

The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the Mayor of Seville, Antonio Muñoz, visited the installations of Skylife Engineering, located in the Science and Technology Park La Cartuja, in order to learn first-hand about the work of this high-tech company with more than 10 years of history, a staff of 60 employees in remarkable expansion and a 50% billing growth in 2022. 

Throughout the visit, the political leaders were accompanied by the CEO and founder of Skylife, María Ángeles Martín Prats, who had the opportunity to show some of the projects of greatest impact that the company is currently executing, highlighting their international dimension and the disruptive nature of the technology on which they are based. 

Pedro Sánchez was able to experience first-hand the possibilities of virtual and augmented reality technologies applied to large multi-sector companies for the optimization of resources, training and digital assistance. 

He also learned the details of a revolutionary project that aims to generate clean energy from nuclear fusion (not to be confused with the actual nuclear fission). This is TOKAMAK SMART, a project of University of Seville in which Skylife is in charge of the design and manufacture of the power supply system, the magnetic field coils and the microwave system of the compact spherical tokamak, unique in Spain, whose prototype is being installed in Seville, thus becoming a world reference in the development of fusion by magnetic confinement.

The President of the Executive also went into advanced technological solutions that Skylife is developing for the aeronautical sector, such as MMIBS, a small-sized device for precise and efficient maintenance in avionics. Similarly, he discovered SILEME, a new technology developed for the location of equipment and people indoors, whose application transcends the industrial field and is applicable to other sectors such as healthcare, as demonstrated by the project developed by Skylife for the guidance of blind people at the Virgen Macarena University Hospital in Seville.

During the visit, Pedro Sánchez was "impressed" by the technological solutions developed by Skylife, and by the capacity of the Sevillian company to lead international projects that are destined to change our immediate future. He also defended the need for sustained support for research to ensure that projects such as those he has had the opportunity to see become a reality. In this sense, he declared that we must "remember from other crises that this is not like building roads, that you stop the investment and then come back, but that these are processes that require a great deal of perseverance". 

For his part, Antonio Muñoz said that one of the objectives of the visit is that the Spanish President could know "a facet of what happens in the city that, unfortunately, is not so well known. What we try from the City of Seville is to put focus and give it visibility, because this also happens in the city, is reality, is present". 

The CEO and founder of Skylife Engineering, María Ángeles Martín Prats, expressed her gratitude to the President and to the Mayor for the visit and for the opportunity to show how international cutting-edge technology is developed from Andalusia. "Skylife is a company whose fundamental objective is to generate a positive social and environmental impact, and we achieve this through innovation, technology and disruption." 

Skylife Engineering was born in 2011 as a start up linked to the University of Seville, specifically to the Higher Technical School of Engineering, and has not hesitated to explore its international dimension from its roots in the capital of Seville, where, in full expansion, it generates highly qualified technical employment, connecting Andalusian talent with its activity in industrial sectors such as aerospace, energy or health.

The company, which has already exceeded 60 employees, and is considered one of the gazelle companies of Andalusia for increasing its turnover by more than 75% in three consecutive years, has started in 2023 an internalization program to consolidate and ensure the continuity of the output of new high-tech products to Europe first and the rest of the world, thus confirming its commitment to innovation as an engine to generate positive impact on a more sustainable and efficient world.
