The renowned Cadiz chef Ángel León, owner of two restaurants that have 4 Michelin stars and 3 Suns, will be a speaker at the Blue Zone Forum, the center for reflection on the transition towards a more sustainable socioeconomic model. In this way, gastronomy will be established within the framework of this event as one of the pillars of the Blue Economy. This was confirmed by the delegate of the Cádiz Free Zone, Fran González, in the presentation of the latest news of the event held this morning at a breakfast with the media.
Entre las innovaciones de Ángel León en la cocina, tiene el reconocimiento de haber desarrollado por primera vez el plancton para consumo humano en el año 2009. Este chef singular fue nombrado por la guía Michelin como el chef más comprometido con el medioambiente con lo que consiguió la Estrella Verde.
Entre los muchos reconocimientos, en 2011, el periódico Wall Street Journal incluyó a Aponiente entre los diez mejores restaurantes de Europa, y el New York Times lo consideró uno de los “10 restaurantes del mundo por los que merece la pena tomar un avión”.
In recent years, Ángel León has intensified an environmental commitment to the production of seafood, highlighting harvesting. Together with a French champagne brand, it is promoting a research project to grow a cereal from the sea in marine gardens.
The Free Trade Zone of Cádiz organizes this great Blue Economy forum organized by the Consortium within the framework of Incubazul, which will bring together entrepreneurs, companies, institutions, experts and speakers in Cádiz and where there will also be an area of stands where you can attend live demonstrations by the startups exhibiting different technologies and articles.
In the opinion of the State delegate in the Free Zone of Cádiz, Fran González, "if we must place gastronomy as another of the pillars that support the Blue Economy, we have to do it with the help of international figures, who in this case coincide to be from the province of Cádiz, as is the case of chef Ángel León. He has been awarded, recognized and also has a long career linked to gastronomy, in that complicity with the sea and the blue economy, but from a model of sustainability, commitment and innovation.”
González wanted to highlight that "Ángel León's intervention will take place within the framework of a great official program and with a complete agenda of parallel events that will make the Blue Zone Forum an essential meeting for the blue ecosystem."
BZF will bring together in the same event international, national and local speakers who will present good practices and debate the needs and solutions in each of the large blocks on which the programming focuses, which will have two itineraries: one aimed at the business public, called Thinking in Blue; and another aimed at entrepreneurs and Blue Youth, called Rock in Blue.
Among the main objectives of the BZF are raising awareness about the Blue Economy and the improvement of the sector through technological innovation; promote and encourage entrepreneurship, mainly among young talent; and support the business fabric.
La inscripción para asistir al congreso está abierta en la webwww.bluezoneforum.es and has a free nature.
