The program will work to identify those economics sectors, institutions, enterprises, markets, territories and investors that are susceptible to develop its activities in Barcelona, and we will develop strategies and programs to attract them, as well as we will carry out concrete projects about attraction and implementation of economic activity transforming the territory in Barcelona.

Barcelona is a city with a great potential of economic development that, more than ever, needs to go out into the world in a organised and efficient way to attract new economic activity able to transform the city and create more and better jobs. The signature of the protocol with the city council and the plans to work together in the upcoming months are the best way to start the course with a project that needs the implication of the companies, the best professionals and the public administration.
