A boost for business in Arucas with the 2nd annual “Arucas<br />
Empresarial” Business and Enterprise Conference 2023<br />
This <strong>No</strong>vember, the<br />
municipality of Arucas<br />
was immersed in a vibrant<br />
and entrepreneurial<br />
atmosphere at<br />
the 2nd annual "Arucas<br />
Empresarial" Business<br />
and Enterprise Conference.<br />
The event was organised by the<br />
Department of Economic Promotion<br />
and Tourism at the Arucas Town Council,<br />
and took place on 21nd and 22rd <strong>No</strong>vember<br />
2023. It left an indelible mark, consolidating<br />
itself as a milestone in business<br />
gatherings in the Canary Islands.<br />
Thematic Diversity and Innovation<br />
Recognition<br />
This year’s programme addressed many<br />
key business topics in detail. It covered<br />
key issues such as entrepreneurship and<br />
business development, the entrepreneurial<br />
culture among young people, the<br />
influence of digital nomads, the crucial<br />
role of business associations, and took<br />
and in-depth look at the challenges and<br />
opportunities faced by local entrepreneurs.<br />
In addition, the event highlighted<br />
its continued commitment to creativity<br />
and innovation through the award of the<br />
best innovative business idea.<br />
The Nuevo Teatro Viejo de Arucas and<br />
the Plaza del Pintor Guillermo Sureda<br />
were the epicentres for some unforgettable<br />
experiences. From chefs’ masterclasses,<br />
where culinary visionaries<br />
shared their business experiences and<br />
secrets of success, to an influencers’<br />
round table session that explored the<br />
impact of social media in the business<br />
world, each event was a unique opportunity<br />
to learn, share knowledge and<br />
make valuable connections.<br />
Following last year’s resounding success,<br />
the 2nd annual Conference not<br />
only consolidated its position as a business<br />
benchmark, but also ventured into<br />
new strategic areas. This year, they focused<br />
especially on young talent and<br />
the restaurant sector, marking a crucial<br />
step towards the consolidation of a<br />
strong business fabric throughout the<br />
north of <strong>Gran</strong> <strong>Canaria</strong>.<br />
As Juan Jesús Facundo, Mayor of Arucas,<br />
pointed out, "our municipality is made<br />
up of strong men and women whose<br />
experiences can serve as an example for<br />
all entrepreneurs looking to launch new<br />
business projects". The initiative of the<br />
City Council, in collaboration with the<br />
Department of Economic Promotion<br />
and Tourism under the direction of Óliver<br />
Armas, seeks to give visibility to existing<br />
initiatives and open the way to new<br />
projects, making the most of the synergies<br />
generated.<br />
In keeping with the objectives set out<br />
by the Arucas Town Council's Economic<br />
and Social Reactivation Plan, the workshops<br />
succeeded in attracting and retaining<br />
talented young entrepreneurs<br />
and business people. This initiative not<br />
only galvanised economic activity in the<br />
municipality, it also generated employment<br />
and promoted sustainable economic<br />
development, thus contributing<br />
to the achievement of the municipality’s<br />
strategic objectives.<br />
The Promotion of Arucas as a Business<br />
Destination and Innovation Hub<br />
With a clearly defined focus on positioning<br />
Arucas as a business destination, the<br />
2nd annual "Arucas Empresarial" Business<br />
and Enterprise Conference 2023<br />
stands as a key milestone in driving forward<br />
economic activity and innovation<br />
in the municipality. This event not only<br />
leaves an imprint on the present, but<br />
also sets out the path towards a vibrant<br />
business future full of opportunities for<br />
Arucas and its entrepreneurs. The municipality<br />
is not only a witness of its past,<br />
but is also the architect of its prosperous<br />
entrepreneurial future.
