Innovation is not just measured in patents or software: it is also built by people. At Lafcarr we are firmly committed to bringing in young R&D talent as a strategic pillar for advancing prevention and early warning technology. This vision ties in with our commitment to local development, collaboration between generations and genuine knowledge transfer.
Our latest recruit is Carlos, an undergraduate at the University of Girona, who joins our R&D department as an intern through the Campus Rural Programme, a Spanish Government initiative to create career opportunities in municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants.
A bridge between university and rural areas
The Campus Rural Programme gives university students real training experience in companies committed to their local area, such as Lafcarr. Through it, we can introduce technical students to our day-to-day work on projects that directly affect the safety of people and infrastructure.
This collaboration reinforces how we see innovation: rooted locally, driven by young R&D talent and focused on solutions that anticipate natural and technological risks.
Why we back young R&D talent
1. Forward-looking talent
More than 20% of our workforce belongs to Generation Z, bringing fresh perspectives to risk management and helping us constantly improve our solutions.
At Lafcarr we believe generational diversity is a strength, not a challenge: combining experience with new ideas is key to innovating with real impact.
2. Strategic connections
Through our collaboration with the UdG and the Campus Rural Programme, we connect with emerging talent before they finish university, forging early links with the professional world.
3. Innovation from day one
Carlos is joining real R&D projects, working side by side with our technical team on programming, system testing and the development of our own software, our advanced alert management platform.
Experiences like this make the value of young R&D talent tangible, along with its impact on technologies that protect lives and the environment.
Building innovation from the ground up
At Lafcarr we believe innovation is not just about developing cutting-edge technology: it also means investing in the people who make it possible. Carlos joining us is another step in our vision as a company with local roots, a global outlook and a commitment to applied knowledge.
