FIDBAN, an entity promoted by UNEATLANTICO, invites the community to participate in the activities of RegenERA Local

The Fundación Innovación y Desarrollo (Innovation and Development Foundation, FIDBAN), promoted by the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO) invites you to participate in RegenERA Local, an event organized by Impact Hub, an innovation and sustainability consulting firm with presence in more than 120 cities and that counts with The Social Circle as a local partner for its implementation.

The event begins its activities on November 15 at the Palacio de la Magdalena (Magdalena Palace) in Santander. With the aim of connecting and activating the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the programmed activities are supported by the Santander City Council, sponsor of the Fundación Innovación y Desarrollo (FIDBAN).

The meeting will connect key players in the region: companies, institutions, entrepreneurs, academia, and civil society to promote innovative entrepreneurship with a local focus. FIDBAN is one of the institutions that has made its network of contacts with entrepreneurs and investors available to the organizers of the event, which in a first phase will take place between November 15 and 17, while the Workshop on co-design of entrepreneurial ecosystems with a local focus will be held on November 23 and 24.

It also invites other locations in Spain, Europe, and Latin America to replicate this process in real time.

The new European road map places special emphasis on the local territory as a transforming lever. This event aims to guide this process, focusing on the intermediate city—those between 20,000 and 500,000 inhabitants: 400 in Spain, 53% of the population—and in connection with their bioregions. To this end, they propose a powerful collaborative framework for the promotion of innovative entrepreneurship with local impact together with companies, academia, funders, institutions, and citizens…
