Both entities have collaborated in the launch of two free programs intended for children under 30 years of age enrolled in Youth Guarantee
The State delegate in the Consortium, Fran González, the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Cádiz, Angel Juan Pascual and the deputy general director of the Incyde Foundation, José María Párraga, have presided over the ceremony of awarding diplomas to the 32 participants
The objective of this training activity is to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment and provide the Cádiz business community with high qualifications to develop them in initiatives such as the technological incubator of the Free Trade Zone, Incubazul.
The Cádiz Free Trade Zone and the INCYDE Foundation of the Chambers of Commerce, accompanied by the Cádiz Chamber of Commerce, have closed today in the auditorium of the Heracles building the two training programs for entrepreneurship - the first of them in the Maritime Sector and the second in Biotechnology - that they launched at the beginning of the year and that have brought together 32 participants in Cádiz.
De esta forma, ambas entidades han retomado en este ejercicio 2022 su colaboración en el desarrollo de planes formativos de alta cualificación, que se suma a las sinergias y otras actuaciones conjuntas entre ambas entidades, que colaboran en el desarrollo del proyecto de la Incubadora Tecnológica de Economía Azul, Incubazul.
El primero de los programas ha sido el de Creación y Consolidación de Empresas de Base Tecnológica Marítima, que ha tenido como objetivo apoyar y formalizar el desarrollo de negocios vinculados a la pujante Economía Azul, así como mejorar la formación y la empleabilidad de las personas relacionadas con el ámbito marítimo, poniendo énfasis en las TICs y su aplicación práctica.
The second training action has been focused on the biotechnology field, which has a great transversal nature and which has increasing application in different sectors and company applications. Thus, participants have been able to identify business opportunities for biotechnology companies, providing a new transversal vision in a time full of opportunities that have direct application in sectors ranging from industrial, to medicine, agriculture, environmental care and the marine sector.
The State delegate in the Cádiz Free Trade Zone, Fran González; the deputy general director of INCYDE, José María Párraga, online; and the president of the Cádiz Chamber of Commerce, Ángel Juan Pascual, have presided over the closing ceremony of both entrepreneurship programs, which was attended by a large representation of the 32 participants who were also presented with an accreditation diploma.
It should be noted that both programs, both the Maritime Sector and the Biotechnology Sector, delve into two sectors that have an increasing presence in the current business landscape and with prospects of maintaining a positive and progressive evolution in the medium and long term. In fact, both sectors are also very present and interrelated, since the transversal nature of biotechnology and the commitment to innovation mean that it is increasingly applied to more and more areas of business activity in our country.
In this sense, the State delegate in the Free Trade Zone, Fran González, has thanked the Chamber of Commerce and the Incyde Foundation for their collaboration, and has highlighted that "the choice of the topics of both courses has been very careful because it is essential to train and provide the best tools to the business community that is beginning its journey; and innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in the sectors covered in the courses, are key in the economic recovery plan of this province and this country and directly affect sectors that affect us and They matter to everyone.”
The delegate of the Free Trade Zone of Cádiz has encouraged the participants to share and develop their ideas and initiatives and has made them participate “in the great tool that we currently have in the Free Zone of Cádiz, the blue economy incubator, Incubazul and the great opportunity that having it represents, through its business acceleration program, the provision of the space itself and the contribution of mentors specialized in startups.”
Fran González has highlighted the close collaboration that the Fiscal Institution maintains with the Incyde Foundation, which has its greatest exponent precisely in the development of the Incubazul technological incubator, within the Cádiz Base Zone project, which is being launched subsidized with European funds within the Framework of the FEDER Operational Program of Andalusia 2014-2020, “A way of making Europe” through INCYDE.
The 32 participants in both training actions, all of them under 30 years of age and enrolled in Youth Guarantee, have learned during these weeks how to identify business opportunities around both sectors and have the knowledge to develop them through a company or business plan, oriented towards a 4.0 concept and digital transformation.
It must be remembered that at the end of last year, the Cádiz Free Trade Zone and the Incyde Foundation already launched two programs within the Operational Program for Employment, Training and Education (POEFE) and now both organizations have wanted to promote employment among young people with these new training actions that are part of the Operational Program for Youth Employment (POEJ) and which are co-financed by the European Social Fund.
This new collaboration of the Free Trade Zone with the INCYDE Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce of Cádiz maintains the line of joint work of continuing to provide more permeable tools to the productive fabric in thriving sectors with employability, so that entrepreneurs identify business opportunities and can make the leap into the labor market with qualified training based on technology.
