Economic innovation has become a priority for Barcelona Activa and Barcelona City Council. According to various studies, the city is already the fourth most innovative city in Europe and the sixth with the most innovative activity and the presence of start-ups. Furthermore, it has become the fourth most attractive capital in the world for foreign investment in R&D.

In order to boost the growth of the business fabric and the innovative culture in Barcelona, the agency is launching a website of business innovation. The new website provides companies with resources such as training programmes and services to innovate, inspire, train and keep up to date. At Barcelona Activa we work with the aim of promoting business innovation as a source of economic competitiveness and the generation of quality employment.

A city commitment to help companies in the city to have more resources to innovate and to be able to have more impact to position themselves in the market. Under these goals, the new website offers digital training through programmes and services such as the Cycle Innodiàlegs. A series of encounters where business innovation experts give regular master classes to help you innovate and find the tools to make it possible.

On the website you can also find programmes for companies and entrepreneurial projects focused on various sectors:
