El Ayuntamiento pone en marcha un grupo de asesores con el objetivo de facilitar la integración a los empresarios internacionales

El “Think Tank Advisory Group” integra a representantes y colectivos empresariales extranjeros presentes en la zona entre los que se encuentran el Centro de Iniciativas Turísticas (CIT), las Cámaras de Comercio Británica y Alemana, American Club y Dutch Business Club

El Ayuntamiento, a través de la delegación municipal de Turismo, ha puesto en marcha un grupo de asesores, denominado “Think Tank Advisory Group”, con el objetivo de aglutinar al sector empresarial internacional en torno a un proyecto de integración en cooperación con el Centro de Iniciativas Turísticas (CIT) de Marbella. El proyecto busca avanzar en el desarrollo económico del municipio y de su entorno.

“El grupo desarrollará acciones conjuntas para alcanzar la máxima integración entre la propia comunidad empresarial extranjera residente en nuestro municipio en una primera etapa para, posteriormente, avanzar también en la misma línea con los empresarios españoles”, ha subrayado el concejal de Turismo, José Luis Hernández.

Ha recordado que en Marbella conviven 137 nacionalidades a las que “hay que integrar para que se conviertan en un factor de riqueza y no en un elemento de fraccionamiento”.

El edil ha explicado que la iniciativa integra a representantes y colectivos empresariales de la zona entre los que se encuentran las Cámaras de Comercio Británica y Alemana, American Club, Dutch Business Club, además de contar con emprendedores a título individual.

El “Think Tank Advisory Group” ya ha comenzado a funcionar y la primera cita tendrá lugar el próximo 14 de abril en el Palacio de Ferias y Congresos con la convocatoria de la I Asamblea Anual de Asociaciones Empresariales Internacionales de Marbella y en la que se abordaran cuestiones de calado como el nuevo Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU), el proyecto del Consorcio de Turismo y la presentación de los propios colectivos participantes.

El grupo de asesores también trabaja en otras acciones y actividades para alcanzar sus objetivos. Entre ellos, destacan la propuesta para celebrar una feria profesional de empresarios españoles y extranjeros a través del CIT o el “Buddy Program” que buscará empresas con un perfil complementario para que desarrollen proyectos de negocios conjuntos.

Asimismo, se desarrollarán iniciativas de networking, de socialización como torneos de golf “que permitirá que el Ayuntamiento ponga el escenario para que el tejido empresarial tenga un contacto permanente y directo”.

También está previsto que se lleven a cabo clases de idiomas especializadas, que son muy demandadas por los empresarios foráneos, y un servicio de asesoramiento sobre subvenciones y ayudas públicas aplicables a los negocios que desarrollan este colectivo empresarial.

Por último, el concejal de Turismo ha estado acompañado en la presentación de hoy por Laura Stanbridge, representante de la Cámara de Comercio Británica y del American Club; José V. Rehnelt, de la Cámara de Comercio Alemana; y los empresarios Simon y Marina Robertson, Michael R. Foltinger y Louis Cook.

Creating the Perfect Corporate Event

Planning a corporate event can be very time consuming. Creating a perfect event and selecting the best location will be determined by a selection of factors including;

• Budget
• Entertainment
• Decoration
• Number of Attendees
• Type of Event ( team building, conference, party, media event etc)
• Location Amenities and Facilities
• Good Transport Links
• Parking
• Capacity
• Catering (onsite or offsite)

Even when you have all the information, you will still need to contact possible venues to arrange viewings, prices and bookings.

Furthermore co-ordination of caterers, entertainment, invitations and transport can be very problematic.

Organising a corporate event in a location known to you is hard enough but what if you need to organise an event in a foreign country such as Spain?

There are many companies that offer event planning services and they will take care of every detail. It is important to use such a service when you are unfamiliar with organising events. The event planner will have a list of reputable vendors in the industry and will assure reliability, professionalism and satisfaction.

A lot of people are often mistaken and avoid using an event planning service as they feel it will be very expensive and go over their budget. However, on the contrary an event planning service is probably going to save you money and keep you within budget as they will know exactly who to contact, and because they work in the business of events they will also be able to negotiate discounts with vendors that an individual would not. In terms of payment, different companies have different methods of charging. Some will charge a flat fee, others may charge an hourly fee and some may charge a percentage fee. But whatever you pay it will be worth the time and money that you would spend planning the event alone.
