Barcelona's Weekly Tech Update
By Scott From Barcinno • Issue #535
Hello and happy September,
Barcelona International Community Day returns this month 🌎 🤝
Did you know that one in every four residents in Barcelona is a foreigner? This thriving international scene is what makes events like Barcelona International Community Day so essential for our city.
This premier gathering for the city’s global talent ecosystem returns for its 11th edition on Saturday, 28 September. This year’s slogan, ‘Unique work-life balance’, celebrates one of Barcelona’s most valued attributes—the perfect balance between work and personal life.
✨ There’s lots to gain for both newcomers and seasoned residents:
Arriving & settling in BCN: Get practical advice on everything from healthcare to relocation, taxes, and the best school for your kids.
Work & business: Support to secure funding, a trade fair with 80+ institutions, and resources from Barcelona Activa to find work or start a business.
Networking & fun: Make connections and integrate with a Catalan language-swap apéritif, themed speed networking for women professionals and French speakers, and a big closing party.
Get more info and register here now (it’s free!) and we’ll see you there 🙌
