Damià Garcia i Priu

Started my first company in 1983, when I was still at the University. I started developing, publishing, and republishing software. I focused on designing and developing AI-based computer languages (Logo and Lisp), our Logo implementation for schools was the world most used educational computer language at that time. IBM America, Phillips, Longman in Uk, Nathan in France, Daewoo Korea or Sony and Fujitsu in Japan were some of the companies that licensed our developed products.

At the same time, we had been the republishers, sole distributors or major distributors in Spain and LATAM for companies like Microsoft, Borland, Symantec, PcTools, WordPerfect, Adobe, Lotus, Ashton-Tate...

Entering the online businesses in 1992, we made BBS, proprietary e-mail system, EDI products, used by Spanish Ministeries and some local governments.

I got many local & int'l awards from PC World, PC Mag, Byte, SPA European Software awards... thanks to a great team of tech and marketing people working together.

Later I've been more involved in the health market but always linked to the use of new technologies. I enjoyed managing a private Clinic, focused on wellness surgery, minimum invasive techniques and obesity. It was the first in Spain to introduce the intragastric balloon to help people following a diet. I had the honor and pleasure to be the only private medical center to have an active collaboration agreement with the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona.

Currently, I'm striving in a new project -restb.ai- to develop the AI and Cognitive computer vision market.
