The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) launches the first Innovation Session. The session, called "Caminando Juntos Hacia el Puerto del Futuro" [Moving Together Towards the Port of the Future], which is to be held on 15 September, will bring together the islands' main actors of economic development: the university, local authority, research centres and private companies.
The APB has long since participated on and undertaken research and innovation projects. The organising of this session reaffirms the commitment of this public organisation to the progress and to the economic and social future of the islands.
The initiative forms part of the project known as RamonLlull 2030, which is promoted by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), the Government of the Balearic Islands, the Chamber of Commerce, the Palma City Council, the Architect Association of the Balearic Islands (COAIB), Endesa and the APB. The project observes and analyses the evolution of the islands' economic model and concludes that the Balearic Islands need to undertake activities that complement the tourism activity, provide added value, contribute to deseasonalisation and, above all, that have no impact whatsoever on the environment.
"Moving Together Towards the Port of the Future" will take place on 15 September at the APB headquarters. Some of the innovative projects that the APB is carrying out with the promoters of the RamonLlull 2030 project will be revealed at the session. Furthermore, new challenges and opportunities that will need to be faced in forthcoming years to contribute to the economic growth of the Balearic Islands will also be debated at the event.
