The NEM Initiative is pleased to welcome the Generalitat de Catalunya and La Salle Campus of Barcelona (Universitat Ramon Llull), which will be exhibiting together at the forthcoming NEM Summit through a ‘Catalan Corner’.

The overall mission of the Generalitat de Catalunya is to make Catalonia a leading economy in the global market by providing its businesses with a competitive edge. It is composed of more than 200 professionals offering advisory services  to companies, and it has 5 delegations in Catalonia and 35 Business Promotion Centres worldwide. The Generalitat de Catalunya (ACC10) is the Catalan agency for competitiveness that specializes in innovation, internationalization and attracting inward investment.
ACC10 is part of the Catalan Ministry of Innovation, Universities and Enterprise, whose aim is to attract foreign investment for production in Catalonia and to provide advisory services, practical support and business opportunities to companies interested in expanding their business globally. ACC10 also targets the increase of business productivity by improving three main factors: innovation, technology and talent.

La Salle is a leading international institution in the fields of science, culture and education, whose works have spread throughout the world as a pioneering body providing solutions for the training needs of each individual country. The Barcelona Campus aims at providing quality education, focussed on the person, that provides answers to the needs of the society.
The Barcelona Campus makes  substantial contributions to the fields of thought,  culture, science and technological development, the  fruit of high-level research and co-operation with leading  institutions and companies.
