Proposals for musical and well-being experiences (Anna Miranda), organic horticulture (Eudald Planella), gastronomic experiences (Arrelum), natural and sustainable products (Natura Sòlida), and sonic branding (Heat Music) were also presented.
The event featured a talk by Lleonard Del Río of Aqaia Consulting on his entrepreneurial journey. The projects Arrelum and Eudald Planella received the SECOT Award for their commitment, territorial impact, viability, and sustainability.
The Councilor for Economic Promotion, Jordi Marcè, emphasized the entrepreneurial talent and initiative in Igualada, reaffirming the City Council's commitment to providing tools and resources.
