Barcelona Export participates in the female networking brunch of Teixidores d'Idees

Barcelona Export participates at the meeting of Teixidores d’Idees, a meeting aimed to entrepreneurs or directors women of the Maresme region, organized by the Fagem at the hotel Atenea de Mataró on Thursday 11/23/2017.

What did we discover during this day?

During the session, we attended the presentation of Toton Comella, the highest representative of intimate women’s fashion in Spain. A woman that knows how to revolutionize the world of swimwear and feminine intimate clothing by incorporating combinations of textiles that until now no one had dared to work with: lycra-cotton. She changed the intimate fashion patterns, creating a powerful international brand of recognized prestige as it has been with TCN. These fabrics are today fully integrated into our everyday uses.

After having sold the company and having been director and owner of her company during her whole professional career, she offers us a series of discussions about the woman role in the business life and the price they have to pay to hold responsibilities as well in the professional life as in the private life and about how hard it is to combine both to find the right balance.

This type of meeting promotes women’s networking, besides putting in common the issues that professional women face in today’s society:

– Work-life balance
– Sexual harassment
– Discrimination for gender reasons
– Lack of equal pay for the same tasks
– Same education, etc.

The Girona Gastronomical Forum closes its door with a new public success and the big satisfaction of the participating companies.

More than 25 000 people visited the exhibition during the three days of this food trade fair. Moreover, it has been announced that the next edition of the Gerona Gastronomic Forum will be held on November 18, 19 and 20 of 2018.

What does the Girona Gastronomical Forum offer?

A forum full of people, companies and activities to discover. Barcelona Export visited the event to find food companies interested in exporting their products and was able to confirm the high gastronomic quality of our region. Participation has increased by more than 30% since the 2015 edition, with more than 25,000 visitors.

What was its outcome?

We appreciated the satisfaction of the exhibitors, like the former and loyal participants who are exhibiting at the Forum year after year, as well as newcomers who for the first time wanted to participate on the event, which has been considered as a great form of promotional platform.

International Opportunities of the Forum

Companies have also been able to do business and conclude many commercial transactions, especially at the international level, thanks to the reverse missions in which buyers from the Nordic countries were interested in the products present at the Forum.

Other interesting information

Von Arend also wanted to point out that the fair is the largest event where all sectors of the catering and hospitality industry are represented. In total, more than 250 companies. Additionally, they pointed out that the exhibition space has been very dynamic at all times, since during the three days the stands haven’t stopped to offer activities. Especially, sessions such as those given by Joan Roca, Andoni Luis Adúriz and Paco Pérez, in the Auditori, recorded nearly a thousand people each.
