Summary
Accenture has inaugurated its Agentic AI Innovation Hub in Barcelona, a space intended to bring together companies, public authorities, universities and startups to develop and deploy agentic AI solutions. Part of the consultancy's Barcelona Innovation Centre, the hub aims to support the shift from experimentation to broader adoption of AI within organisations, notably through the redesign of business processes, the secure deployment of agent platforms and responsible governance. The president of Accenture Spain and Portugal, Mercedes Oblanca, stressed the need for responsible transformation. Accenture cites its own studies: more than 50% of working hours could be affected by AI agents, 84% of Spanish executives are increasing their AI investments, and nearly half of organisations are already testing or deploying intelligent agents.
