Adjust taxes for talent and entrepreneurs<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Taxation is a real barrier to attracting talent and entrepreneurs compared to other countries.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The solution:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Barcelona Global created a team with partners from 13 leading law firms to formulate a set of amendment proposals for the city to be more competitive in these areas. We are in talks with ministries and political parties to promote its implementation.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. More affordable international schools<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">One of the main barriers to attracting international talent is the lack of schools with affordable fees and in easily accessible locations from the places where internationals live or work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The solution:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">We have carried out an in-depth study into feasibility of an international school meeting the needs of internationals and are leading the process of evaluating the viability of a non-profit schooling project. We are looking for a suitable location, whereafter we will start the process of creating a school with an experienced educational partner.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>3.

Program<\/b> to help integrate internationals through a series of social events, including our annual <b>Hola Barcelona! Cocktail<\/b> for 1500 people at the Palauet Albeniz, as well as private dinners and events connecting Barcelonians-by-choice with locals.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row wpb_row row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column columns medium-12 thb-dark-column small-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner  \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper \">\t<div id=\"thb-image-6acb9464ee744\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436.jpeg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-370x247.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-20x13.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-185x123.jpeg 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-740x493.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-online-survey-rating-filling-feedback-questionnaire-computer-212483436-72x48.jpeg 72w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row wpb_row row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column columns medium-12 thb-dark-column small-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner  \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper \">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>4.
