Looking after people
This initiative takes an integrated and cross-cutting approach that combines economic promotion with social and technological development. Its aim is to define the principles and actions needed to boost the care economy in Barcelona, with a particular emphasis on promoting quality employment and fostering social and technological innovation. Within this framework, the Care Innovation Hub stands out as a key project, primarily organised around two strategic lines:
- Care hub: a space dedicated to attracting and developing talent in the care sector to improve professional development in this field. Through guidance, training, skills acquisition, accreditation and job placement, this programme aims to equip professionals with new competences aligned with technological and social innovation.
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship Line: an open innovation lab in the care sector that includes a living lab, an exhibition space for technologies and the promotion of open innovation through sectoral challenges. Additionally, it provides support to entrepreneurial projects in the care sector to foster their growth and consolidation.
