Pillars

Pillars

GLOBALLEIDA’s portfolio of services is structured around 3 main pillars:

The people The companies The territory

The people Knowledge is the main asset that will condition the level of social welfare in the future. Thus, in today’s economy, knowledge and people are the key to competitiveness.

The companies The entrepreneurial dimension is one of the most important limitations of companies in Lleida, given that this factor conditions both their access to new markets and their capacity for research and innovation. Companies must achieve their minimum efficient dimension, that is to say, the size needed in each case to efficiently compete in a global market.

The territory The province of Lleida must grow as an attractive and connected territory, both internally and abroad. The communications, cultural and technological infrastructures play a key role in order to achieve a well-connected territory and to set up an attractive open territory.

In order to do this, a cluster approach is used, segmenting businesses by business or strategic segments. Thus, the clusters and micro clusters that the province of Lleida count on have been established in order to work on the basis of the existing business segments and later identify the common challenges of the companies present in Lleida and therefore carry out initiatives to reinforce their competitiveness.

GLOBALLEIDA promotes a wide range of general actions in order to promote the province of Lleida as a destination for investments, as well as specific actions to identify potential investments that may introduce the Lleida candidature as a location option. In addition, by means of the program WHY LLEIDA, it offers a single point of contact service to investors and international companies, in order to attract foreign investment directly to Lleida.

Local networks By means of consultation and networking, GLOBALLEIDA aims to reinforce the actions of local governments to promote the economic and social development, as it strengthens the cohesion of the territory by stimulating the collaboration of the maximum number of local entities in order to promote a territorial balance and an economy at the service of the people.
