Jota2 Group joined the IE Business School community on May 12, 2025 for “Backing the Future: Investing in AI, Automation and Innovation,” a panel exploring how founders and investors are working together to scale intelligent technologies across industries.

The conversation brought together Jota2 partners and speakers Bill Saad, Mario Cohen, Ziad Jreijiri, and Manuel Suárez Martín, who shared perspectives on the real-world impact of technology across aerospace, defense, business development, infrastructure, and automation.

The panel reflected a core belief at Jota2 Group: meaningful growth happens when capital, operational experience, and entrepreneurial vision come together around practical problems. AI and automation are not only investment themes; they are tools for building more resilient companies and more capable infrastructure.

Jota2 Group extends its thanks to the IE Technology & Innovation Club for hosting the conversation and to moderator Jad Abdallah, whose initiative and leadership reflect the next generation of talent shaping the future of technology and investment.

The event reinforced the importance of collaboration as a source of momentum, bringing founders, investors, students, and industry leaders into a shared dialogue about the future of intelligent technologies.
