From 2 to 6 February, EuroSMC hosted its Global Partners Meeting in Madrid, welcoming around 40 attendees from more than 20 nationalities. The week combined technical debates, software workshops and hands-on sessions with real assets (circuit breakers, CT/VT and protection relays) to align on industry trends and EuroSMC’s R&D roadmap. We closed with a visit to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium Museum and a farewell lunch.
