Jack Green. Huelva County Council has dedicated itself to lead a strategy with the objective to guarantee the conditions for economic growth in the province. It will act as the driving force of development, a quick way of networking and with an action plan that in general, is already designed. This new instrument, that will start it’s course shortly and will be fixed in a resource recruitment office. It expects to attract investment for the province, support businesses and key sectors and boost the creation of wealth and employment.
The council’s president, Ignacio Caraballo, has assured people that the intention is to introduce the strategy in the next few weeks, starting the initiative immediately “because we don’t want to lose any time”. In this sense, Caraballo maintains that in difficult times the initiative “gives a step forward and takes on more responsibilities and Huelva County Council is ready play the role as to what society demands”.
Once the council presents their official strategy, Caraballo wants to get to know the Onubense society, in areas such as institutions, businesses, unions and the media “to work in a coordinated way together to make Huelva a stronger province and better positioned”.
For staff, the institution will invest in two technicians and two admin clerks with language knowledge because, “the international relations are going to play an important part in the project” confirmed Caraballo. The president is keen to work with some of the most productive sectors within the province but also wants to go a step further by providing advice for entering new markets. Businesses and the Board of Andalucia will come together in national and international festivals and business travel. Regional development and local employment will be strengthened hoping to attract more funding from Europe.
As it stands, the plan is scheduled to contact over 2000 potential investors, organising 150 meetings and presentations and also attendance at trade shows. This strategy will be partially overlapping in another project that is currently working with the council that starts in the next few days under the name ‘Huelva Inteligente’. It’s sole objectives to strengthen Huelva’s name and better its position and reputation with Huelva’s businesses in social media.
