Barcelona Synchrotron Park’s key value: the environment
Barcelona Synchrotron Park’s key value: the environment
The Barcelona Synchrotron Park dedicates 640,000 sqm of land to hosting worldwide innovative companies around the ALBA synchrotron, the largest science facility in south-west Europe.
Beyond the high standard infrastructures offered by the BSP (polygeneration power plant, seven telecom operators with their own fibre optic networks, various Data Centres, etc.), the environment is certainly BSP’s key value:
This environment is definitely the environment of ÀmbitB30, the name of the association that gathers the 23 municipalities that make up the territory where the Barcelona Synchrotron Park is located.
In order to make known the important economic potential of the ÀmbitB30 territory where R&D and innovation play a key role, the local public television, Vallès Visió, is preparing a series of reports for the fall: last Friday, BSP’s director Pere Solà was interviewed in the park’s offices located in the Catalan headquarters of the SENER multinational engineering company installed in the park since 2013.
Beyond the high standard infrastructures offered by the BSP (polygeneration power plant, seven telecom operators with their own fibre optic networks, various Data Centres, etc.), the environment is certainly BSP’s key value:
- A training and research environment with the UAB University next to the park, one of the best Spanish universities (43,000 students, 3,500 researchers, 27 research centres) and ESADE, one of the best business schools in Europe.
- An innovation environment with the Eurecat technology centre in the Vallès Technology Park, business incubators in the UAB Research Park (PRUAB) and the ESADE Creapolis centre, etc.
- A business environment with a dense industrial fabric of more than 30,000 companies in the BSP surrounding cities, 50% of which are exporting ones.
