He is CEO of GenoMirai, a genome analysis platform based in Tokyo, Japan.[3] Remón García speaks 9 languages and is considered a polyglot.
Remón García has more than 9 electronic implants inside his body, making him a pioneer in practical human augmentation research.[4] He is also a patient with type 1 diabetes, and this experience has shaped his work in health technology.

Education
Remón García studied at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), where he majored in African and East Asian Studies, graduating with honors between 2009 and 2013.[4] He also studied at the United Arab Emirates University as an exchange student in the Faculty of Business, where he took part in an early research project on robotics and artificial intelligence.[4] He later completed a Middle Eastern Studies program at Columbia University in New York City.[4]
In 2014, he gave a special lecture called "Chinese Culture and Economy" at the United Arab Emirates University.[4]
Chinoesfera
In 2009, when he was 21 years old, Remón García created Chinoesfera.[2] The platform teaches Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture to Spanish-speaking people. Community forums and language guides started appearing as early as November 2006.[2] Today, Chinoesfera has more than 280,000 active users in Spain and Latin America.[4][6]
The platform was featured on the Spanish television channel Antena 3 and received support from the Ayuntamiento de Madrid (Madrid City Council).[2]
It is also listed by independent Chinese-culture directories as the largest Spanish-language Mandarin teaching portal, with hundreds of thousands of users around the world.[7]

Dicra.io
In 2017, Remón García co-founded Dicra.io,[10] a technology company based in San José, Silicon Valley. The company works in three main areas:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) — including machine-learning systems for managing type 1 diabetes

- Spatial computing — building virtual reality and augmented reality experiences and metaverse environments[11]
Dicra.io describes itself as "architects of the new internet."[12]
MundoEsfera
MundoEsfera[13] is a digital hub created by Remón García to connect different cultures through digital experiences. It describes itself as a platform for transcultural communication and global creative networks, and lists more than 50 projects across over 30 countries.[14]
GenoMirai
In 2025, Remón García founded GenoMirai (genomirai.jp) in Tokyo, Japan.[15] GenoMirai is a next-generation genome information analysis platform. It uses bioinformatics technology to help scientists study complex genetic data. The platform has a high-precision search system based on specific genes, disease names, and clinical importance, and it supports research in precision medicine.[4] GenoMirai is owned by Dicra and run by the Jorge Remón & Co. team.[4]
WoM grid and Digital Art
Open This End
Remón García is a member of Open This End (OTE), a non-profit international cultural organization. OTE is made up of professionals from art, culture, science, and education. Its goal is to research, classify, develop, and exhibit artistic content created with new technologies.[16]
WoM grid
Remón García created the WoM grid, a special metaverse platform for showing digital and virtual art in museums.[17] The WoM grid allows users to move freely inside a virtual world and interact with art works in real time. It is different from a video game because it focuses on user freedom, persistence, and artistic experience.
Artist Adam Nash confirmed that his work Ramonia Retrospective (2016) was built on a "Custom WoM grid" for an exhibition at a Spanish museum.[17] Adam Nash is recognized internationally as one of the most innovative artists working in virtual environments and mixed reality.[18]
"Arte es Digital. Digital es Arte" (2016)
From September 29 to October 2, 2016, the Museo Vostell Malpartida in Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain, hosted the exhibition "Arte es Digital. Digital es Arte" (English: Art is Digital. Digital is Art). It was organized in partnership with Open This End.[19][20]
This was one of the first exhibitions in Spain to present fully immersive digital art and metaverse-based virtual reality in a traditional museum setting. The exhibition was part of the museum's 40th anniversary programme.[17]
The WoM grid platform was used to show site-specific metaverse works by several international artists:
| Artist | Work | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Adam Nash (also known as Adam Ramona) | Ramonia Retrospective | Custom WoM grid[17] |
| Elif Ayiter (also known as Alpha Auer) | Blue Print City | WoM grid[21] |
| Sameiro Oliveira Martins, Catarina Carneiro, Luis Eustaquio | The Sowing – Delicatessen | WoM grid[22] |
| Selavy Oh | Selavy | WoM grid[23] |
| Ux Hax and Romy Nayar | Papermakis | WoM grid[24] |
The exhibition also showed video art works by other artists, including works by Maurice Benayoun and composer-artist Bret Battey.[25][26]
Shanghai World Expo 2010
In 2010, Remón García worked at the Madrid Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Exposition in Shanghai, China. He helped develop the social and media side of the Madrid pavilion's online presence, including the Madrid2010 / Diario de la Expo project, and assisted in organizing events and online activities.[27]
He also filmed video documentation of the event, with his name appearing as camera credit ("Grabación: Jorge Remón García") on official Madrid Pavilion footage.[28]
China Unicom
Remón García worked on marketing strategy for China Unicom, the third-largest mobile telecommunications company in the world.[4]
Cyborg research and implants
Remón García has had more than 9 electronic devices implanted inside his body. These include:
- NFC chips (used for contactless data sharing)
- RFID transponders (used for identification and tracking)
- Biosensors (used for measuring body data in real time)[4]
He uses these implants to study how humans and technology can work together in everyday life. He is especially interested in using a continuous glucose monitor — a biosensor that tracks blood sugar levels — alongside other implants to help manage his type 1 diabetes. This makes him one of the first people to apply cyborg technology to a medical condition in daily practice.[4]
