Xunta de Galicia · 2026-11-13

The Director General of Autonomous Work and Social Economy, Marta Vázquez Guzmán, attended today in San Xoán de Río a session of the Applied Innovation Laboratory, an initiative by the Xunta to boost rural entrepreneurship and generate collaboration opportunities.

The objective of this initiative, supported by the Xunta, is to bring together entrepreneurial projects and work on real challenges, discovering collaboration opportunities between different sectors. The Director General highlighted the possibilities offered by the four planned meetings in the Ourense town until next Friday, November 20.
These meetings aim to generate synergies between business initiatives seeking to advance in product, technology, or service challenges. In this regard, Vázquez Guzmán recalled the availability of the Network of entrepreneurship and employment support centers to provide free and personalized advice to companies, self-employed individuals, and entrepreneurs at 15 points across Galicia.
In the province of Ourense, there are four entrepreneurship centers: in O Barco de Valdeorras—the center corresponding to San Xoán de Río—, in O Carballiño, in Baños de Molgas, and in Verín.
