Andalusia is expanding its use of data and artificial intelligence across various sectors. In the tourism industry, authorities in Cádiz and the Regional Government of Andalusia are utilizing platforms like the Tourism Intelligence Platform and ‘Nexus’ to provide strategic data on traveler spending, accommodation trends, and sustainability to both large operators and small local businesses.

Beyond tourism, the region is seeing advancements in industrial and scientific AI applications. Initiatives such as the #DatosConSentido challenge aim to integrate fragmented data sources for the construction and utility sectors. Furthermore, new developments include the release of Sherry 0.1, an open-source AI model designed for improved reasoning efficiency, and the introduction of simulation software for training professionals in geothermal energy and CO2 storage.
