We are always tempted to see and denounce the darkest side of society. We sometimes blew ourselves too much, but there are positive aspects that we can highlight and promote. The machine tool of the Basque Country is at the tip of European and global industry. He has always been present, despite the fact that the crisis has made him pass the bill. The Exhibition Biennial held last week at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Barakaldo has again highlighted this fact. A total of 1,533 companies from twenty-seven countries have shown their potential and novelties and have recognized the machine-tool of the Basque industry during its visit to the Biennale.

Our machine tool has suffered in recent history the effects of crises, companies have closed down and thousands of jobs have been lost. With hundreds of new and modern products offered at the BEC Biennale, you can presume to be willing to participate in this new industrial revolution that will bring robotization, digitization and stunning 3D printing.

The regeneration and modernisation of a sector capable of competing in Europe and around the world should serve as an engine for employment and social development in the Basque Country. For the maintenance and development of the machine tool, the professional schools that were vital and still exist must have continuity. Some of the unemployed youth can try and educate themselves professionally to get jobs in a sector with a great future.

Let us see if the administrations take this into account.
