This major professional gathering will be held on <strong>September 28 -  29<\/strong>, establishing itself as the leading platform for technological and strategic exchange within the ceramic tile industry cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019Alcora\u2019s inclusion in this project strengthens the institutional weight of the event, as the municipality is internationally recognised as the cradle of ceramics. The President of the Castell\u00f3n Chamber of Commerce, <strong>M\u00aa Dolores Guillam\u00f3n<\/strong>, has emphasised that this alliance not only represents support for the congress, but also \u201chighlights the municipality\u2019s key role in the industrial identity of the province.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, Guillam\u00f3n has pointed out that having the support of the L\u2019Alcora Town Council is essential, as it \u201cdemonstrates that our region\u2019s ceramic tradition and technological innovation go hand in hand to lead the sector\u2019s transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, the Mayor of L\u2019Alcora, Samuel Falomir, stated that \u201cthe L\u2019Alcora Town Council could not be absent from an initiative such as IGNITE, which is born with a vocation for leadership and for addressing the major challenges of the ceramic sector. For us, it is essential to be present in the spaces where the future of an industry that is part of our identity and our economy is being shaped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJoining this project is also a way of reaffirming L\u2019Alcora\u2019s role as the cradle of ceramics and as a municipality committed to innovation. Tradition and the future are not opposing concepts, but complementary ones, and this congress is a clear example of that. Moreover, we would like to acknowledge the drive of the Castell\u00f3n Chamber of Commerce, which once again demonstrates its ability to generate opportunities and lead strategic initiatives for the sector as a whole,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Addressing the challenges of the sector<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme of this inaugural edition of IGNITE has been designed to deliver tangible answers to the current needs of the industry, structured around five key thematic areas of major relevance. The congress will focus particularly on <strong>real and competitive decarbonization<\/strong> of the sector, examining energy alternatives that guarantee the <strong>sustainability<\/strong> without compromising economic viability, and will delve deeper into the\" <strong>comprehensive industrial digitalisation<\/strong>, exploring the potential of artificial intelligence and digital twins to optimise production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the congress will address the development of <strong>advanced ceramic materials<\/strong> and its new applications in contemporary architecture, as well as sustainability and industrial circularity in the efficient management of resources. Finally, a section will be devoted to the analysis of <strong>industrial geopolitics<\/strong>, which is essential for understanding how international markets and current regulations influence the growth of the Castell\u00f3n ceramics cluster, bringing together leading experts in materials science, engineering and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IGNITE has thus established itself as the new catalyst for ideas in the sector, and also enjoys the vital support of sponsors of the calibre of Porcelanosa and <a href=\"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/portcastello-aliado-estrategico-ignite\/\">PortCastell\u00f3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La cita refuerza su peso estrat\u00e9gico de cara a una edici\u00f3n fundacional que, los d\u00edas 28 y 29 de septiembre, abordar\u00e1 retos clave como la descarbonizaci\u00f3n y la geopol\u00edtica industrial Castell\u00f3n, 20 de abril de 2026.- La C\u00e1mara de Comercio de Castell\u00f3n, entidad organizadora del Congreso Internacional de Innovaci\u00f3n Cer\u00e1mica IGNITE, ha formalizado la incorporaci\u00f3n&#8230; <\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/ayuntamiento-alcora-une-camara-ignite-2026\/\" class=\"gdlr-info-font excerpt-read-more\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destacada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5557"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5560,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557\/revisions\/5560"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignitecongress.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
