Barcelona Tech City has partially renewed its board of directors with the incorporation of ten professionals who will strengthen the projects carried out by the entity and "broaden the vision of the association in the different strategic sectors" of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Catalan capital. The new board, made up of 32 people, keeps Miguel Vicente as president and the vice-presidencies are held by Lucas Carné, Dídac Lee, Miguel Planas, Carlos Blanco and Mar Alarcón. The lawyer Ignasi Costas is the general secretary.

"The composition of the board of directors aims to reflect the talent, experience and enthusiasm of a group of entrepreneurs who share the DNA of Barcelona Tech City. We will all continue working to consolidate the Barcelona Tech City project and maximize the impact of the digital and technological ecosystem in the city and in society," highlighted Miguel Vicente.

The objective of the entity, founded in 2013 by a group of entrepreneurs, is to position Barcelona as an international technology hub and promote the transformation of the city's economic model. Currently, its main project is the Urban Tech Campus, a plan to create several hubs in the city with startups specialized in various business segments with strong transformative and growth potential in the coming years.
