Eduardo Salido Cornejo, Senior Manager of Industry Affairs at Amadeus, recently shared insights following his appointment as Vice-President of the Spain-Türkiye Chamber of Commerce. He emphasized the Chamber’s mission to “build bridges,” a sentiment echoed by various stakeholders, including businesspeople, ministers, diplomats, and entrepreneurs in both Madrid and Istanbul.
In June 2024, the Chamber proposed the first Türkiye-Spain digital summit at Amadeus, aiming to strengthen digital connections between the two nations. Salido Cornejo highlighted the vast opportunities for collaboration in digital transformation, particularly in the travel, tourism, and transport sectors. He noted that while Türkiye boasts significant assets, such as a prominent global airline and a strategic position connecting Europe and Asia, both Türkiye and Spain must enhance their competitiveness.
At Amadeus, the importance of collaboration and technological innovation is paramount. Salido Cornejo cited the company’s achievements, including a 40% reduction in traveler waiting times at Dubai Airport through advanced technologies developed at Amadeus’s Istanbul R&D center. These innovations have been exported to various stakeholders in the travel industry.community.make.com+4learn.microsoft.com+4learn.microsoft.com+4
