 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.

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
