🌟 We had an incredible time at the #CREACT4MED final event closed session in Barcelona "Catalysing the CCI: Building Bridges for CCI Entrepreneurs and Incubators"! 🚀 Creative Business Network was thrilled to attend and connect with so many innovative startups. The session was a vibrant mix of interactive discussions, networking activities, and collaborative exercises—all aimed at fostering cultural exchange, creative partnerships, and cross-sector collaborations. It was a pleasure to build a business idea with you Bilal Zahalan! After kicking things off with a fun icebreaking exercise, we dived into two parallel workshops: 🛠️ Workshop 1: Entrepreneurs and Best Practice Winners led by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association - EMEA. 🌐 Workshop 2: Incubators & Regional Dialogue led by BUSINESSMED - Union of Mediterranean Confederations of Enterprises. It was an inspiring experience to build new ideas and opportunities directly with the startups. Today, we continue with Day 2, featuring an exciting pitching session and ongoing conversations with the entrepreneurs. Here’s to driving growth and sustainability within the CCI ecosystem! 🚀✨ A huge thank you to Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association - EMEA for making this fantastic event happen! #CreativeBusinessNetwork #Innovation #CCIEcosystem #Networking #Collaboration #Growth #Day2 #PitchingSession
