The month of April comes to an end full of conferences on how to look for work in strategic sectors. Barcelona Activa has held activities related to industry 4.0, cleaning, maintenance and surveillance services and also services to companies. 

The events are complemented by specific networking spaces, such as the one that took place last Monday on the tourism of meetings and congresses. This week, sessions were also organised on how to look for work in the sectors of care and of e-commerce and a session about work in companies with a social purpose.  

In addition to the training activities, conferences are held that include roundtables with the participation of representatives from key companies in strategic sectors. Various onsite and virtual sessions are also organised on labour market trends, to discover the most sought-after profiles and skills and detect the best channels to find work in strategic sectors of the city.   

Furthermore, Barcelona Activa has promoted the Talent map, a tool that shows the status and professional mobility in the city.

Yesterday, the Cibernàrium Auditorium of the MediaTIC building became the venue for the presentation of the Observatori d'Empreses Gasela (Gazelle Business Observatory). A report promoted by the Fundación Cotec para la Innovación and the Universitat de Sevilla which analyses the evolution of small companies that have grown in a short time in the Spanish state. 

The concept includes small businesses that double their size in a short time, starting with at least 10 employees and growing above 20% for three consecutive years. The study analysed the characteristics of the 5,200 high-performing companies in Spain between 2019 and 2022. In this period, Barcelona had 348 businesses that are considered gazelles. 

As part of the presentation, it was highlighted that more than 40% of the city's gazelle companies have passed through Barcelona Activa. A fact that shows that the public sector has joined the private sector to welcome business initiatives that have talent as a common denominator. 

The 2024 edition of the Observatory has focused on analysing the weight of innovation-intensive businesses compared to the total number of companies of these characteristics. Among the data of the study, it’s worth highlighting that the 22@ district has become the area of Barcelona that concentrates the most knowledge-intensive gazelle companies.

The Barcelona International WelcomeDesk has already supported nearly 2,000 people from 111 different countries. Two years after the launch of the service, the city's international talent welcome office attends an average of 300 new people every month. The area is promoted by Barcelona City Council, in collaboration with other key public and private agents.

The service aims to facilitate the arrival of international talent that has just landed in the city or is about to do so. The main applicants are usually highly qualified professionals, entrepreneurs and university students. In the two years of its history, the Welcome Desk has carried out more than 6,700 actions with newcomers in the city. 

The most common user profiles are those under 40, from outside the European Union and who have been in Barcelona for less than 6 months when they contact the service. In addition, the office has also become the municipal service for hosting teams from the Copa América Barcelona 2024.

Along the same lines, Barcelona Activa became the protagonist of the 4YFN fair at MWC24, leading the Barcelona Welcomes Talent roundtable. The session took place on 28^th February at the Sabadell Stage of the Congress and focused on the recruitment and retention of digital talent in the city. The table included representatives of leading international companies in different sectors who explained why they have chosen Barcelona as a strategic point for the company.

In addition, Barcelona has consolidated its position as a European leader in investment attraction and promotion strategies. The prestigious Financial Times group has recognised the city as the best positioned European capital in the latest report on European Cities and Regions of the Future 2023/24, ahead of capitals such as London, Madrid, Berlin and Milan.

An excellence in which municipal work has been taken into account in the promotion of clusters in emerging areas such as supercomputing, artificial intelligence, health and biotechnology. The promotion of the start-up ecosystem and the recruitment of talent were also highlighted among the elements that the study has assessed.

Barcelona Activa once again commemorates 8th March, International Women's Day, and does so by holding different events and with the presentation of the report ‘Les dones i el mercat de treball’.

The study describes the current image of the labour market in Barcelona in terms of gender, supported by figures on the evolution of the employment rate and the number of women affiliated to Social Security, among others.

The report presents relevant data from the end of 2023 on the most frequent types of contracts and the economic sectors in which they specialise. The situation of the glass ceiling and the wage gap is also observed and the causes of the feminisation of poverty are analysed. Among the most relevant data, it highlights the fact that last year, for the first time in history, more than 40% of the contracts signed by women were indefinite.

It also explains that at the end of last year there were already more than 610,000 women affiliated with Social Security in Barcelona, a figure higher than that of men, a record position in the historical series. However, the wage gap still stands at 17.1%.

With regard to entrepreneurship, it is noteworthy that women represent more than half of new entrepreneurs. However, the study's figures show that the feminisation of poverty is still evident. An example can be found where the percentage of wage-earning women in Barcelona who are paid one thousand euros or less is 30.1%, 4 points above men.

Beyond the report, Barcelona Activa will also commemorate 8M with the jurney #donesqueacompanyendones. From 10am, the Cibernàrium 22@ Auditorium will host an event focused on making visible the professional life cycle of women, highlighting the moments in which they are accompanied professionally by other women with the aim of improving their promotion in the labour market.
