He has also offered his point of view on the future challenges that companies, both technological and non-technological, must take into account in small towns to continue being successful. “I don't know what the rural world will be like in 10 years, but surely what we imagine today will most likely not be like that, talking about what employment is like, the development of the economy,... it's going to change a lot. "What worries me especially is being in a few years' time meeting the needs of clients that will not be those of today."
