Business missions

November 2024

During the month of November, a delegation from the City Council of Mataró visited the Italian city of Prato with the aim of exploring opportunities for collaboration in the field of the circular economy and sharing experiences in projects linked to sustainability, especially in the textile sector. This mission was framed within the "Mataró Circular 2030" strategy, aligned with the principles of the Urban Agenda 2030.

The delegation included 3 companies from Maresme: Coleo, CESC-IT and UTE TEAM Mataró. 

The program included visits to urban regeneration initiatives and projects related to sustainable food policies. These activities allowed for an exchange of experiences and knowledge between representatives of the city councils of Prato and Mataró.

The delegation, in which several companies from Mataró also participated, visited the Prato Chamber of Commerce, the PIN-ARCO University and the GIDA water treatment plant, in addition to holding meetings with consortia and companies from the textile sector and the circular economy.

During his stay in Prato, Mataró presented its "Opportunities Office", an initiative to attract investment and position the city as a reference in the circular economy. The "Mataró Circular 2030" strategy was one of the highlights, along with the TecnoCampus Chair in Circular Economy and the plan to support entrepreneurship and businesses.

Last November, Tecnocampus carried out a business mission in Florida, in which three companies from the TecnoCampus business ecosystem participated.

In addition, the mission also included visits to leading innovation centers such as the visit to the Alan Levan Center or Florida Atlantic University, presentations with market experts and successful entrepreneurs, which allowed us to grasp trends and establish potential synergies with relevant players in the Florida ecosystem.

For this mission, we had the support of a consultant specialized in the French market, Isabel Garcia, from Barcelona Export, and also with the help of ACCIÓ's Foreign Office in Paris. Two companies participated, isWolk and Doole Health, who traveled to Paris on November 15 with Tecnocampus staff to enjoy a schedule of visits to entities of interest and potential clients/suppliers. 

One of the visits was to the Medical Cluster (Medicen) and the Fintech Cluster (Finance Innovation). They were also able to visit Station F and the Paris-Est Créteil University (UPEC) with which Tecnocampus has a softlanding agreement. At the university, they were able to meet with the science faculty. The following day, the 3D LAB Experience was visited and a networking lunch was held with the business fabric of Créteil.

In short, the two companies have evaluated this mission positively. With a score of excellent - a 9 the number of meetings has been assessed, and they have considered it "very likely" that potential collaborations will arise from some of these meetings in the future. At the level of qualitative assessment, Doole Health wanted to highlight positively being able to "get to know the French market first hand and the different landing options".
