Bizbarcelona
Solutions for SME and Entrepreneurs
05-06/June
Montjuïc. 3rd event
Over two intense days, Bizbarcelona presented
its proposals to accelerate business growth and
the creation of new businesses. This show for
SMEs, self-employed workers and entrepreneurs
hosted around 200 conferences, more than
700 counselling sessions and 15 networking
spaces. Worthy of mention was the financing
market, which facilitated 1,800 meetings between
entrepreneurs and representatives of investment
entities with a credit potential of almost 100
million euros.
The show was structured around five
categories: finance and business strategy; 2.0
communication and customer services; sales and
internationalisation; new business opportunities
and trends; and product innovation and services.
There was a commercial area with companies
related to Internet, hosting and social networking,
phone services, consulting and training, tax and
employment advisory services, marketing, design,
management tools and franchises.
SMEs were the protagonists of this year’s
event, which offered them counselling on how to
grow, innovate, internationalise and find funding.
New to the show were two parallel events:
Failcon Spain, hosting conferences meant
to defuse the experience of business failure,
and the San Francisco-Barcelona Conference,
where California entrepreneurs and business
owners who are leaders of the global market gave
the clues to access the funding given by Silicon
Valley investors.
More tan 150 entities take part in
Bizbarcelona, promoting business culture and
entrepreneurship, such as Barcelona’s City
Council, the Government of Catalonia, «la Caixa»,
Diputació de Barcelona and the Chamber
of Commerce.
