Solutions for SMEs and Entrepreneurs
04-05/June
Montjuïc. 4th edition
The latest edition of Bizbarcelona marked the
consolidation of this event as an indispensable
element for promoting the world of the small and
medium-sized enterprise and entrepreneurship.
The show was structured around five
categories (sales and internationalisation;
2.0 communication and customer services;
finance and business management; innovation
in products and services; and new business
opportunities and trends) to enable visitors to
apply some of the tools on show with a view to
growing their business.
Over the two days of the trade fair, the
activities included 178 talks and workshops
with a total of 338 speakers; 491 customised
business advisory sessions; 810 “speed-dating”
contacts; 150 meetings in the Reempresa area;
50 video-pitch recordings; and more than 3,000
messages on the wall.
In addition, there were more than 1,000
interviews between SMEs interested in
entering new foreign markets and experts in
internationalisation and 1,780 contacts between
entrepreneurs and representatives from around
40 investment companies with funding potential
of 100 million euros.
Bizbarcelona also presented a wide range
of real solutions to contribute to the growth of
small and medium-sized companies, as well
as the creation of new businesses. To achieve
this, particular importance was attached at
this 2014 edition to e-commerce, channels of
finance, franchises and exports as tools to boost
companies.
The show is organised by Barcelona City
Council through Barcelona Activa, and Fira de
Barcelona in cooperation with the Government
of Catalonia, Barcelona Provincial Council, the
Chamber of Commerce and “la Caixa”.
