The gala, organized by AJE Coruña and AJE Galicia and held at the Club Cámara Noroeste, brought together representatives from the business and institutional sectors to highlight the talent, innovation, and initiative of entrepreneurs.
Fourteen finalist companies presented projects in sectors such as artificial intelligence, social inclusion, health, culture, agriculture, food, and sustainability, reflecting the diversity and innovative capacity of the province's entrepreneurial landscape.
The Business Initiative Award went to Danza 10, while Tribo received the Entrepreneurial Initiative Award. The special mentions for Innovation, Job Creation, and Corporate Social Responsibility were awarded to Pan de Juevo, Yakart, and Atlántica Inclusión, respectively.
Inés Rey congratulated the award-winning companies and emphasized the importance of fostering an economic ecosystem that retains talent and generates quality employment in the city, aiming to enable new generations to develop their professional projects in A Coruña.
A Coruña is strengthening its position as a major economic and technological hub with strategic projects like the Cidade das TIC and the establishment of the Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence (AESIA), complemented by municipal policies supporting entrepreneurship and employment.
The City Council operates a network of Municipal Business Centers, such as Accede Papagaio, and has secured over eight million euros in recent years for employment and training programs that have helped more than 1,600 people find jobs.
The gala also included a tribute to businessman Daniel Ramos Lobón, honored as Godfather of Honor for his contributions to the business associations of A Coruña and Galicia, and his involvement in the new technologies sector and the Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña.
The distinction was presented by the president of AJE Coruña, Eva Rosende, who highlighted his commitment to supporting new generations of entrepreneurs. The event was also attended by provincial deputy Rosa Ana García López and the Secretary General of Employment and Labor Relations of the Xunta de Galicia, Susana Pérez Iglesias.
