Business and socioeconomic training and innovation
We are committed to the education and training of citizens and businesses as a key factor in generating a more competitive Barcelona, better prepared for the challenges of the future and which eliminates any form of digital exclusion.
We also promote innovation, a key factor in economic competitiveness, the generation of quality employment, as well as the incorporation of new, more digital, more environmental and more social perspectives.
Beyond innovation within companies, we promote a model of open and collaborative innovation that connects and values the assets of the city's entire ecosystem and which stimulates public-private collaboration and cooperation between private agents.
