Chair of Regional Development
San Telmo Business School
Purpose
Active towns, thriving communities.
The vitality of our rural districts is a necessary condition for balanced economic and social development. The lack of job opportunities and services encourages rural depopulation and makes generational renewal harder.
The Chair of Regional Development at San Telmo Business School was created as a practical instrument to help reverse this dynamic. It is a forum for reflection and strategic collaboration in which companies and public administrations share experiences, good practices and projects capable of generating economic activity and attractive opportunities in the territory.
Its mission is to help build a better society by strengthening the productive fabric of local districts: creating and growing companies, fostering the services they need to develop and helping people put down roots and grow the population of our towns.
Objectives
The Chair directs its work towards turning knowledge and public-private collaboration into concrete initiatives that strengthen local districts and improve their ability to attract activity, talent and population.
- Identifying and documenting success stories in regional transformation and entrepreneurship.
- Analysing and sharing good practices that can be transferred to other territories.
- Strengthening business culture and business relationships among the companies of each district.
- Bringing companies and institutions together to drive shared projects and the services they need to develop.
- Helping to retain and grow the population, fostering quality of life and a better demographic and environmental balance.
The Chair combines applied research, education and dissemination to identify useful solutions and put them within reach of business owners, executives and public officials.
Writing cases on districts and business experiences that make it possible to analyse transformation models and generate debate.
