Marbella think tank launched
The “Think Tank Advisory Group” comprises representatives and foreign business groups in the area, among which are the Centre for Tourist Initiatives (CIT), the British Chambers of Commerce and German-American Club and Dutch Business Club
The City Council, through the municipal delegation of Tourism, has launched an advisory group, called the “Think Tank Advisory Group”, with the aim of bringing together the international business sector about an integration project in cooperation with the Center Tourist Initiative (ILC) in Marbella. The project seeks to advance economic development in the town and its surrounding areas.
The Councillor for Tourism, Jose Luis Hernandez said that the group will develop joint actions to achieve integration between the business community and foreigners resident in Marbella in the first phase and then address Spanish business in the second phase. He commented that there are 137 nationalities living in Marbella and that all of them must become fully integrated to become a rich resource and not an element of division.
Mr Hernandez explained that the group is made up of representatives and business groups from the local area such as the British Chambers of Commerce and German-American Club, Dutch Business Club as well as individual entrepreneurs.
The “Think Tank Advisory Group” has already become operational and the first event will take place on April 14 at 16.30 at the Trade Fair and Congress. This first meeting of the Annual International Business Association of Marbella will address draft issues such as the new General Urban Plan (General Plan), the project of the Consortium of Tourism and the presentation of the participating groups themselves.
The advisory group will also work on other initiatives and activities to achieve its objectives. Among them are the proposal to hold a trade show in Spanish and foreign entrepreneurs through the ILC or the “Buddy Program” that will look for companies with a complementary profile to develop joint business projects.
It will also develop networking initiatives such as golf tournaments which will allow the City Council to set the stage so that businesses have a permanent and direct contact.
They also expect to be able to offer specialised language classes which are always in demand by foreign businessmen and an advisory service on public grants which are available to businesses who are part of this group.
The Councilor for Tourism was accompanied at the presentation by Laura Stanbridge, representing the British Chambers of Commerce and the American Club, Jose V. Rehnelt from the German Chamber of Commerce and entrepreneurs Simon and Marina Robertson, Michael R. Foltinger and Louise Cook.
