XI Summit
The Barcelona that could be
Barcelona has the opportunity to imagine its future and make the decisions needed to bring it about. “The Barcelona that could be” aims to go beyond analysing the city as it is today and to focus on its potential to generate prosperity, strengthen commerce and remain an attractive place to live, work, start a business and invest.
At a decisive moment, as a new mayoral term begins, the Summit will bring together perspectives and proposals on the challenges that will shape the coming years. The opening conversation, led by Enric Sierra, deputy director of La Vanguardia, will address how to foster lively and diverse commercial activity, strengthen the productive fabric and consolidate Barcelona as one of Europe’s leading cities.
Because the Barcelona that could be is built with ambition, shared decisions and an economy that creates opportunities for everyone.
