 TRADE FAIR 2022

The trade fair serves as a vital link between the community and the thriving local businesses of Quart de Poblet, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation within the town. This annual event is a testament to the municipality's commitment to its residents and entrepreneurs, creating an environment where both can benefit.

Throughout the event, visitors can find information points and stalls set up by exhibitors, providing a valuable platform for local businesses to showcase their products and services to the public. These exhibitors serve as ambassadors of the town's entrepreneurial spirit, engaging directly with citizens and potential customers.

The Town Hall plays a pivotal role in orchestrating this event, primarily through its Department of Economic Promotion. This department's dedicated efforts ensure that the trade fair is a resounding success, contributing to the economic growth of Quart de Poblet.

Within the larger event, a designated area is reserved for activities and initiatives orchestrated by the local administration. It is in this space that the Quart és Europa Department seizes the opportunity to engage with its citizens. This department acts as a bridge, facilitating communication between the local government and the community, enabling them to be better informed about the values and objectives of the various projects underway.

One project that takes center stage during the trade fair is the Cities 2030 initiative. This visionary project outlines the town's goals and aspirations for the coming decade. The Quart és Europa Department places a special emphasis on communicating the significance of this project to the public, underlining how it will shape the future of Quart de Poblet. Citizens are invited to learn, discuss, and offer their valuable input to ensure that these goals align with the aspirations and needs of the community.

Likewise,  the Quart de Poblet trade fair transcends its role as a mere congregation of local businesse and it stands as a vibrant event that fortifies the connections between the community and its entrepreneurial tapestry. This occasion not only celebrates the town's economic vitality but also serves as a forum for the local government to actively connect with its citizens, championing transparency and cultivating a profound sense of unity. The strong emphasis on initiatives like Cities 2030 underscores Quart de Poblet's unwavering dedication to a more brilliant and prosperous future, forged through the collaborative endeavors of its residents.

In December 2022, Quart és Europa held an exciting event, the "Fireta de Nadal", which took place on 26 and 27. During this festive occasion, the commitment to the Cities2030 project and the promotion of sustainable food was demonstrated. In addition, recreational activities were organized that involved attendees in the theme of sustainable food, such as games and dynamics related to this crucial aspect.

Workshop app Blockchain 2023

On 30 May 2023, Quart és Europa marked a milestone by holding a fundamental workshop. This event was intended to test a mobile app designed to track and verify the traceability of food products, with a specific focus on identifying their origin. Implementation is an integral part of the European CITIES2030 project, an ambitious programme supported by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 programme, with the active participation of 41 partner organisations from more than 10 European countries.

In close collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Madrid, from Quart és Europa we are promoting the development of this revolutionary mobile application based on "Blockchain" technology. Its functionality is extraordinary: it allows users to scan food products and reveal their origin. The underlying purpose is to promote the consumption of local and local products, thereby strengthening the local supply chain and promoting sustainability.

This joint effort seeks to transform the way we perceive and consume food, adding a new level of transparency and trust to the food industry. The workshop held on the aforementioned date not only represented an important step in this direction, but also underlines the importance of collaboration and innovation on the road to a more sustainable and conscious food system.

AVAASAJA 2023

AVAASAJA, the Valencian Association of Young Farmers, based in Polinyà del Xúquer, plays an essential role as one of our key stakeholders in the CITIES 2030 project. Their collaboration is essential to share synergies and promote the application of biotechnology with the aim of enriching the mineral and nutritional quality of food grown in the fruit and vegetable industry.
At a recent meeting held at its facilities, the relevance of this technology was highlighted, which not only benefits consumers by improving the quality of food products, but also represents significant progress in improving agricultural production and sustainable development. AVAASAJA stands as a strategic partner that drives innovation in agriculture and contributes to the well-being of the community by promoting healthier and higher quality food.
The supercharged solution they promote gives agri-food industries the ability to add value to their final products through innovative fertilization and post-harvest methods. This, in turn, contributes to promoting a healthier diet and lifestyle and fostering the CITIES 2030 project.

Fireta de Nadal 2023

As last year, another year has been celebrated "the Fireta de Nadal" of Quart de Poblet with the aim of promoting the European Projects department and the Cities 2030 project. For this, from Quart és Europa we have designed a game aimed at children, in which you can know the food chain and thus promote sustainable and environmentally friendly food. 

In this way, the game consisted of memorizing the cards with food and trying to make pairs with them. With the main objective that children as well as can recognize the food of the game, can do so in supermarkets with sustainable products and proximity.
