The Baix Llobregat Regional Council convened municipalities from the region this Wednesday, November 4th, with the Secretary of Labour of the Generalitat, Paco Ramos, to define territorial priorities and advance a coordinated response to labour and economic development challenges.

The working session focused on the governance of territorial cooperation, aiming to enhance collaboration between administrations and socio-economic agents. The goal is to define shared priorities and adapt employment and economic development policies to the region's needs and potential.
The Regional Council expressed its commitment to facilitating dialogue and coordination spaces, gathering municipal demands, and connecting them with the Generalitat's policies. The objective is to build a shared agenda to leverage opportunities from industrial, technological, and energy transformation, promote quality employment, and strengthen the competitiveness of the productive sector.
The Minister of Economic, Strategic, and Agricultural Development, Fernando Vicente, presented the current situation and future prospects for economic development in Baix Llobregat, as well as the main regional workstreams in employment and business support.
In a dialogue on employment policies and local economic development, Paco Ramos addressed issues such as territorial cooperation and the deployment of SOC Empresa. Also participating were Federico Muñiz, director of the Catalan Public Employment Service (SOC), and Raquel del Hoyo, territorial head of SOC Barcelona Sud.
The session included an open forum where municipal representatives could voice their concerns and proposals. Fernando Vicente highlighted the meeting as a step towards fostering a shared working dynamic that will translate into concrete actions for the municipalities, people, and businesses of Baix Llobregat.
