Barcelona City Council, through Barcelona Activa, supports the reinforcement and competitiveness of both companies and Social and Solidarity Economy organisations with the aim of promoting the creation of wealth and quality employment in the city.

In order to develop services and activities to support companies, Barcelona Activa has various facilities:

Business Advice Office (OAE)

This is a reference point for Barcelona businesses and SMEs, with a portfolio of permanent, added value services for business growth. A team of experts provides comprehensive support to organisations according to their needs.

Technology Park

Situat al districte de Nou Barris, el Technology Park  is specifically designed to help technology-based companies with services, programmes and personalised and permanent activities to promote their development through three main strategic lines:

  • Promoting and improving responsible business growth.
  • Promotion of innovation processes.
  • Generation of talent linked to technology.

WHAT WE OFFER

Through the OAE we would like to accompany you and advise you on every strategic area for the management and growth of your business.

Personalised advisory services

Because we realise that each project is different, request a meeting with our technical team for personalised advice on: company incorporation, business financing, employee searches, international expansion, transfers of businesses, business growth, location and launches, as well as information on municipal procedures.

Management of city council procedures

We offer you information, support and help in managing City Council procedures (licences and taxes) or in relation to any other OAE services (company incorporation, autonomous community certificates and legalisation of corporate documents or digital certificates).

Training

We provide a broad catalogue of training activities that will help you to improve your company's chances of success in the various business areas.

Business programmes

We organise initiatives and activities for Barcelona companies and professionals to improve areas related to growth, rightsizing and sales.

Events

Investment forums, networking days, marketplaces and industry meetings organised by the OAE or in cooperation with other entities, where you will be able to promote your company and make strategic contacts. 

Room hire

The city’s companies and organisations have access to the Espai Barcelona at the Business Advice Office and the Auditorium at the Technology Park. These spaces can be used for the organisation of different activities and events.

Spaces for business incubation

Barcelona Activa has various facilities for business incubation, according to their type and needs.
