Barcelona Digital City

MatchImpulsa is a program that is profoundly feminist for the digital platformization of Social Solidarity and Collaborative Economy in Barcelona.

This innovative program aims to promote and scale projects within the Social and Solidarity Economy and collaborative domain. It reinforces local networking, international projection, gender perspective adaptation, and the implementation of gender equality measures and plans in digital business environments. Furthermore, it accelerates the digital economy as a common good through three strategic lines:

1. Business Platformization through digitESSt as a self-diagnostic tool and digiDIETA as a facilitator of training pills for the feminist digitalization of Solidarity Economy organizations.
2. Strategic collaborations for MatchTech, MatchIgualtat, and MatchUniversitat.
3. Creation and maintenance of strategic ecosystems in the city of Barcelona.

MatchImpulsa is developed within the framework of Càtedra_Oberta, collaboratively promoted by the Dimmons research group, the Open University of Catalonia, the Barcelona City Council, and Barcelona Activa.

The main objectives are based on accelerating projects economically, digitally intercooperating, reversing the gender digital divide, deploying measures and plans for equality, creating and reinforcing strategic ecosystems of the Feminist Digital Economy and Collaborative Economy of Barcelona (BarCola), promoting the internationalization of companies and ecosystems that are part of MatchImpulsa, and incorporating action research to disseminate and share generated knowledge.
