The awards were presented by Mayor Jaume Oliveras and Economic Promotion Councillor Maria Llarás, who congratulated the winners and encouraged continued participation in future editions. Both emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship in local development. The Mayor highlighted the role of Casa del Marquès as a hub for innovation, now approaching its tenth anniversary, while Councillor Llarás reiterated the City Council’s commitment to supporting economic growth through a wide range of business services.
Prior to the award announcement, three companies established in 2022 and recipients of local economic development grants—Magnolia Homecare, Espai Sin Sin, and GR Assessors i Administradors—presented their business projects and expressed gratitude for the support provided by the City Council and the Casa del Marquès team.”
