The Ten New Innovators Under 35 in Spain have been named

The talent and ingeniuity that hides within Spanish territory has been, once again, discovered and recognized thanks to the MIT Technology Review in Spanish. The magazine, published by Opinno, has just announced the winners of the Under 35 Innovators award 2014 in the country.

Four women and six men between 28 and 34 have been chosen to make up the list of winner of the fourth edition of the awards celebrated in Spain.

The selection has been made from over 100 candidates and is compiled of innovators from the fields of energy, I.T, telecommunications, biotechnology, materials and Internet, amongst others. All of them form part of a network of global innovation integrated by past winners from each regional edition. The winners have been selected by an expert judging panel made up of the most important personalities in the world of entrepreneurialism. 

Amongst the projects selected for the MIT Technology Review 2014 Under 35 Innovators in Spain are those that use emerging technology.
