PITA organises the II 'Exhibition of the Ideas' to encourage the entrepreneur spirit

The Almería Science and Technology Park (PITA) will have again an appointment in the Almería University Campus with entrepreneurs, students and business people in the second edition of the ‘Exhibition of the Ideas' next April 21. The Agriculture & Fishing regional minister of Junta de Andalucía and PITA's president, Martín Soler presented the II Edition of the ‘Exhibition of the Ideas' together with the Chamber of Commerce president, Diego Martínez Cano, and the Almería University rector, Pedro Molina.

Soler underlined the compromise of the Andalusia Government with initiatives like this one, which aims are to push the promotion of the entrepreneur spirit and extrapolate to other sectors of social and economic life in Andalusia. Under Soler's opinion, with this support to the ‘Exhibition of the Ideas' the Almería Science and Technology Park (PITA)'s commitment with the Almería University and the Chamber of Commerce is reinforced. "PITA is an essential element for Almería development and a first level allied for the Almería entrepreneurs" Soler remarked.

The second edition of the ‘Exhibition of the Ideas' keeps the three essential objectives as in the first edition: to encourage the innovation in the productive sectors of the province; to promote the entrepreneur spirit between the University students and Secondary School students and to promote the relations between company-university-secondary school.

The participants, like in the previous edition, will display company's plans schemes or resumes in posters, and will answer to the entrepreneurs' questions. They can set up contacts each others, being able to establish further contacts.

In the afternoon, an Investment Forum will be organised, in which entrepreneurs looking for partners and financing will show their projects to business people and investors. The ideas and projects presented in the Exhibition will be analyzed and the experts will choose those entrepreneurial initiatives considering the best, as per their novelty or having more possibility of success in the market. Their responsible will present them to the business people interested in investment and support to these projects.
