Over the last few years, these 2016 awards, sponsored by La Caixa and with the collaboration of the San Fernando City Council, Provincial Delegation of Economy and Employment, Puertoclean and Cádiz Mágico, have grown in number of applications and in qualitative terms in the scrutiny and assessment of the best and most innovative companies in the province. The high level of the companies, their commitment to innovation and technology and their consolidation in the market with high business figures, makes clear the potential of the young companies presented to these Awards.

It should be noted that around twenty companies have been presented promoted by young entrepreneurs from the province with an average age of 32 years and an important forecast of growth and job creation for this year since 70% of these companies plan to create jobs throughout 2016.

In this edition, the Association of Young Entrepreneurs of Cádiz has called the AJE Awards in the double modality of Entrepreneurial Initiative and Business Career under the motto “Young entrepreneurs, a lifestyle”, it wants to honor the young entrepreneurs of the province who have stood out for their ingenuity, their innovation and their passion. It is precisely these people who have left their comfort zone to carry out an entrepreneurial project, making it their lifestyle.

Last year, this association honored in Cádiz capital "young people who embark on the adventure of entrepreneurship, creating wealth and employment against adversity" and in which the company Ayudat-Pymes and Omniumlab were the winners. The winners of this provincial edition will be finalists for the regional AJE Andalusia award, whose presentation will be held in Almería on June 30.
