San Javier has been one of the four municipalities, along with Cartagena, Caravaca de la Cruz, and La Unión, with which the Community has launched, in its experimental phase, the Free Zones of Entrepreneurship project, through the Instituto de Fomento , An initiative that aims to convert the potential of municipalities into a site of business creation.
The mayor of San Javier José Miguel Luengo attended today in Murcia, along with the Minister of Economic Development, Tourism and Employment, Juan Hernández, INFO director Javier Celdrán and representatives of the other three municipalities, to the presentation of the first phase of the Project consisting of a study of the potential of each municipality, which in the case of San Javier highlights its potential for growth and development around the nautical leisure.
In the case of Cartagena would be the diving;
The flamenco in the Union, and the Jubilee Year in Caravaca.
Counselor Juan Hernández explained that "the objective is to specialize the municipalities of the Region in those sectors where they can be more competitive and encourage the creation and settlement of companies, thus contributing to the creation of a solid business network that collaborates and generates Synergies and help job creation in these localities and, ultimately, local and regional economic development. "
The mayor of San Javier José Miguel Luengo was "convinced" of the potential of the municipality of San Javier "which has the best course in the world, the Mar Menor" in terms of nautical leisure, "something we are already working".
Luengo recalled that the detailed study that INFO has done in this regard will also be of great help "to continue in the line we have already initiated from the Government team and which translate into the open line of work with the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena on The sailing in our town, the technical studies in this sport that we have managed to attract San Javier for the next course and the Center of Business Initiatives of Santiago de la Ribera, which will be devoted largely to active tourism.
The Free Trade Zone Project, which is expected to be developed later in other locations, includes outreach, sensitization, meetings with entrepreneurs and training for entrepreneurs and interested entrepreneurs.
It also provides assistance, advice and training in financing by explaining to entrepreneurs the different sources of funding available to them, accompanying them in the process of applying for these grants or informing them about the different European projects in which they can take part.
