This year will be remembered as the year of change. The year 2020 has been marked by the difficult economic situation generated by the COVID-19 crisis, so it is more necessary than ever to redouble our efforts to support the reactivation of businesses.
Biz Barcelona and the Employment Fair join forces to boost entrepreneurship and the creation of job opportunities for local talent. The Biz Barcelona event will be held on September 21, 22 and 23 at La Fira Barcelona, an initiative that seeks to support the creation and growth of companies that have joined the entrepreneurial and business ecosystem of Barcelona, thus helping entrepreneurs, freelancers, SMEs, startups and companies.
From Aticco we want to support entrepreneurs and SMEs in their projects in this new economy that is presented as a great challenge. That is why we are Unicorn Sponsor of Biz Barcelona and we will be present at this essential event to help revive the business fabric and job opportunities at a key moment.
We have organized our own program of round tables in which we will discuss startups, entrepreneurship and impact economy, and where we will have different startups and diverse companies with social impact.
