The Bosch i Gimpera Foundation participates in «Day of the Entrepreneur»

On May 20th and 21st the Palau de Congressos of Catalonia (The Congress Centre in Barcelona) will host the eighth edition of the «Day of the Entrepreneur», the largest annual meeting point for entrepreneurs and support services for business initiatives and growth in Barcelona. The Bosch i Gimpera Foundation () –with offices at the Barcelona Science Park- is one of the more than 60 institutions that will be participating in this event with the objective of providing its support to the city's companies.

The collaboration of the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation is carried out by means of the «Protection and Commercialisation of Technologies» capsule. It is an assessment space created by the FBG, framed within the «Growth Capsules», a set of sessions that help analyse the keys to improving the company and aiding its growth. This year, Lurdes Jordi, consultant of the Business Centre (ACE) of the FBG, and Lidia Casas, from the UB Patent Centre, will share existing formulas to protect and commercialise research results of small technology-based companies or research centres. The conference will take place on May 20 at 5 p.m.

The «Day of the Entrepreneur» is aimed at people with a business project and at those who, having created their own business, are seeking new ideas and instruments to boost its growth. Last year’s edition drew close to 5,600 participants and 39 collaborating organisations and facilitated over 1,000 business opportunities.

This year’s edition presents a programme comprised of over 120 activities, amongst which the most usual spaces are highlighted: «VIP Connect», «Get Advised» and «Face to Face», and other innovative initiatives, such as the «Explain Youself»,space where the entrepreneur will have the chance to assess his/her idea and even to create a publicity campaign using Google Adwords- or the “«Make a Proposal» space, where the entrepreneur can liaise with public companies to exchange potential future collaboration proposals in detail.

The «Day of the Entrepreneur» is supported by a committee formed by Barcelona Activa, the Local Development Agency of the Barcelona City Council, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Navigation of Barcelona; the Centre for Business Innovation and Development (CIDEM) of the Generalitat of Catalonia; the Directorate General for Small and Medium Enterprise, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade; La Caixa, and the Consortium of Zona Franca. Ikea Business and Google are sponsors of this eighth edition of «Day of the Entrepreneur».
