Barcelona Chamber of Commerce

[Marta Cerdà-Pascuet]

The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a representative institution, independent ensuring the promotion of economic and business activity and sustainable development of the Catalan region.

The competences of the Chamber extend from innovation, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, trainings and internationalization to a wide range of topics to support firms. Its presence throughout the territory allows the Chamber to get to know closely the reality and dynamism of the economics of the entities and establish close contact with them in order to better attend to their needs and offer them services to help them improve their business.

The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce is aware of the importance of playing an active role in a national and international level and has participated in many projects as partner and also as a leader. It has experience in ENPI CBC Med, INTERREG, CIP and Leonardo da Vinci programmes among others.

The participation in these projects allows the Chamber to offer the knowledge acquired by supporting their network of Catalan entities in order to improve their competitiveness sand skills and also to promote the practices developed by the Chamber and Catalan entities to other organizations that might be interested in them.

In the framework of the Mediterranean área, we can highlight the ENPI CBC Med Programme: Strategic Hubs for the Analysis and Acceleration of the Mediterranean Solar Sector (SHAAMS) project and the Green Med Initiative (GMI) project. The SHAAMS project, in which the Chamber participates as leader, aims to raise public awareness on energy efficiency through the transferability and implementation of good practices in legal, regulatory, economic and organizational issues including the promotion of new financing mechanisms to facilitate the take up of solar technologies. And the GMI project main’s objective is to increase environmental awareness in the participating regions and develop a recycling program through the integrated operation of innovative technologies. This project is aimed especially at young people, whether in Universities or Schools, to involve them actively in the world of recycling and sustainability.

Moreover, the Chamber has also experience in participating in EUROMED invest projects related to renew the interest of SMEs in the Euro-Mediterranean market, organizing specific events such as MEDA-LOGISTICS & TRANSPORT ROADSHOW and EUROMED INVEST Academy Barcelona which is going to celebrate in November. The MEDA-LOGISTICS & TRANSPORT ROADSHOW included B2B meetings and B2Governments meetings, Workshops and Presentations, about investment opportunities in Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco; Networking space and Helpdesks of Investment Promotion Actors.

Finally, in the framework of INTERREG IVC Programme, The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce has participated in the Innovating Entrepreneurship policies in the Crafts sector (INNOCRAFTS) project among others. This project aims to design and implement effective policies to support the crafts sector and contemporary art.

Other projects in which the Chamber has participated are Enterprise Europe Network (COSME), CYBERSUDOE INNOV (SUDOE-Interreg IV B), FAD-INS – Fashion Audovisual Design Industries Innovation Schemes (CIP), EM 2.0 – Web Advanced Export Manager (Leonardo da Vinci), ENT TEACH – Entrepreneurship Teaching (Leonardo da Vinci), GREEN IT NET – Green IT Network Europe (INTERREG IVC), TOK TOC – Transfer of Knowledge-Transfer of Human Capital (INTERREG IV4), Go to Mediation (Directorate-General Justice) and Mediation Meets Judges (European Union Civil Justice Programme).

We would like to participate in Med projects as a partner.

UNESCO Sicilia Foundation is a Regional Agency recently founded by Italian State (50%)
and Sicilian Region (50%) and involved in cultural heritage and environmental protection
and promotion policies concerning the seven Sicilian UNESCO protected areas and serial
sites.
Due to its two Foundation partners UNESCO Sicilia can effectively and directly influence
National and Regional policies.
UNESCO Sicilia is interested in learning the best practices and management methodology
used for applying UNESCO guidelines in dealing with management in general inside
the UNESCO sites.
Besides, UNESCO SICILIA is very keen to study the available best practices in the field of
private investment attraction and PPPs promotion for environment and cultural heritage
conservation and sustainable exploitation. All the above as from the regulatory as well as
from the practical point of view. Our main issue is, after fostering the exchange of
experiences, the preparation of mandatory action plans for integrating and deploying good
practices within regional policies and first of all within programs. We are also interested in
experimenting some “peer review practice”, in terms of teams of experts to be engaged to
visit our 7 UNESCO sites to review our governance strategy and methods. As the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce aims to implement PRIORITY AXIS 3: PROTECTING AND PROMOTING MEDITERRANEAN NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES, OBJECTIVE 3.1: To enhance the development of a sustainable and responsible coastal and maritime tourism in the MED area, herewith we express our interest to take part to some project with your organization.
