<p><strong>Alessandro Manetti</strong>,  55 years old and father of two daughters, is originally from Florence and has lived in Barcelona for the past 22 years. He is currently the vice president for Europe at LCI Education, a Canadian multinational dedicated to education, with 23 campuses across five continents and a team representing over 50 nationalities. In his role, he leads LCI Education's expansion in Europe. In 2017, he was named a Cavaliere of the "Ordine della Stella" by the President of the Italian Republic, recognizing his career and contributions.

<h2>Why did you choose Barcelona?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<div class="page" title="Page 1">

<div class="column">
<p>The truth is, it was Barcelona that chose me. I arrived from Milan without speaking Spanish, tasked with founding a design school, which was already a rather ambitious challenge. However, it was the city that captivated me from the very beginning. Its energy, creative spirit, and vibrant atmosphere left me fascinated. And here I am, still here, now with a new challenge—an even greater and more inspiring one—that motivates me every day to keep moving forward.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>What are the city’s strengths?</h2>

<div class="layoutArea">

<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>Barcelona has the perfect combination: sea, mountains, an enviable climate, and an ideal size for living. It’s also a hub for everything I’m passionate about: design, education, architecture, innovation, technology, and cutting-edge research. What fascinates me most is the dynamism that defines its creative businesses and institutions—a contagious energy that inspires everyone living here to push their limits.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>Which aspects of the city need to be improved? How?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>We are regaining the momentum we had some years ago, but we must ensure not to lose ground in areas where we are already strong, such as design, audiovisuals, and technology. To achieve this, we need to create a supportive environment for entrepreneurs, provide more backing for research, and promote collaboration. Only by overcoming individualism can we move forward as a city and remain at the forefront. Barcelona attracts and generates a great deal of talent, but it must also learn to retain it. I think, for instance, of fiscal incentive policies for new businesses and professionals, streamlining bureaucratic processes, accelerating sustainable development policies, and improving air quality.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<h2>What do you expect from Barcelona in the coming years?</h2>

<div class="column">
<p>I hope Barcelona establishes itself as a magnet for international talent, a city that leads in research, innovation, and technological development. I also dream of seeing a greener Barcelona, deeply committed to sustainability—a city that sets an example in redefining urban paradigms, balancing economic growth with the well-being of its residents.</p>
</div>
</div>

<h2>Which city do you consider to be your home city? What do you miss most?</h2>

<p>For me, my city is wherever my wife Sara and my daughters live. So, without a doubt, that’s Barcelona. Here, I’ve built my home, my professional career, and my personal life. However, Florence will always hold a special place in my heart, as it’s where my parents live and part of my roots remain. That said, I rarely have time to miss the past; my curiosity and career keep me focused on what’s ahead.</p>

			<p>Since 2020, <strong>San Francisco</strong> se consolida como líder mundial del ecosistema emprendedor, <strong>attracting</strong> <strong>international</strong> <strong>talent</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>retaining local talent</strong>, which generates unique job opportunities. The reasons are clear: culture of innovation; talent and mindset; consolidated funding; collaborative network; ease of start-ups and favorable taxation; and competitive environment.</p>
<p>Barcelona <strong>needs a clear</strong> <strong>strategy</strong> to consolidate itself as a global innovation centre, attracting talent and generating quality jobs. Leveraging its <strong>potential</strong> in urban mobility, renewable energy, fintech and healthcare, these measures could boost its ecosystem: change of mindset; talent retention and return; tax incentives; bureaucratic simplification; attracting investment; and collaborative network.</p>

<p>Although Barcelona is tech-oriented, it could improve by simplifying bureaucratic procedures and doing more for housing rights. Additionally, it should encourage the creation of startups founded by young people and follow the model of Estonia, where you can open a company in just a few minutes with a secure and advanced digital infrastructure.</p>

<p>My heart will always be in Italy, but I feel adopted by Barcelona. I miss my family and certain Italian cultural aspects, but I regret that the situation there doesn’t favor young professionals.

<p>Barcelona, inspired by the <strong>Schuman traineeships</strong>, should offer a public-private scholarship program for recent graduates from across Europe to start their careers in companies and institutions in the city. Both cities share key characteristics as <strong>economic and multilingual capitals</strong>.

<p><strong>Anna Slizinova</strong>, born in Zaporizhzhia (Ukraine), began her musical training in her native country before obtaining a master's degree in opera performance at the Conservatori del Liceu in Barcelona. Since 2021, she has been committed to promoting music and the arts through her association Unlock Art, of which she is president and co-founder, producing numerous concerts and operatic performances. In addition to her musical career, Anna has more than six years of experience in the IT sector, having progressed from an entry-level position to become Product Director.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>Why did you choose Barcelona?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>In 2017 I received my acceptance to the Conservatori del Liceu. After my master's degree, I produced my first opera in Barcelona, something possible thanks to the international talent in the city. Some collaborators of that production are now close friends and part of Unlock Art.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>What are the city’s strengths?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>Barcelona never lacks culture and is accessible to everyone. It is a perfect place for those who enjoy cultural and creative diversity. Life is not only centered in its center; there are events in all neighborhoods, which reinforces living surrounded by beauty.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>Which aspects of the city need to be improved? How?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>There are two key issues. Taxes fund healthcare and infrastructure, but many citizens are afraid of not seeing their benefits or feel they are affected too much. I propose an app, which exists in Ukraine, to manage taxes. This year I participated in concerts to support homeless people. We must connect resources with those who need them.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>What do you expect from Barcelona in the coming years?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>I hope that Barcelona's culture continues to flourish and that the Diagonal tramway runs as planned. With only 1,380 homeless people, it should be possible to solve the problem quickly. I would like to see a reconsideration of expanding the airport. We cannot depend on tourism; we must diversify. We must also improve the tax system to retain global talent, difficult with a system that discourages.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h2>Which city do you consider to be your home city? What do you miss most?</h2>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>I am proud to call myself a Barcelonian by choice. As an opera singer, I travel most of the year, which complements my life in Barcelona. New experiences enrich our connections, offering fresh perspectives that I can share afterwards. What I miss most about my hometowns, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv, is mostly sentimental. I long for spring, cozy coffee kiosks and the quiet days that existed before the war.</p>
<p>In Barcelona Global, the objective is to make of the city the best place for impactful talent, and I really think we are on the right track.</p>

			<h3>Carlota Lobato Molina is a lawyer at Puig, where she provides corporate legal advice at both national and international levels.</h3>
<h3><strong>What do you expect from the Barcelona of 2040?</strong></h3>
<p>I hope that Barcelona will establish itself as a global benchmark in life sciences and innovation, relying on its solid network of hospitals, science parks, and research centers, as well as its strong business fabric, to become a pioneering biomedical hub. Additionally, sustainability should play a crucial role in the city’s development, maintaining a balance between innovation and the preservation of the environment and the city's cultural heritage.</p>
<h3><strong>With which city would you compare Barcelona to?</strong></h3>
<p>Barcelona is a unique city because it blends its rich cultural heritage with a constant spirit of innovation and international projection. Although it may resemble cities like Amsterdam in some aspects, with its focus on green mobility, or Berlin, with its vibrant cultural scene, Barcelona maintains its own identity, traditional in its customs yet cosmopolitan and avant-garde.</p>
<h3><strong>What model of city do you think Barcelona should be like? </strong></h3>
<p>Barcelona could look to cities like Boston, Cambridge, and Copenhagen, which excel at fostering scientific innovation through public-private collaboration. Like Barcelona, Boston has a unique combination of renowned academic institutions and hospitals that it has successfully leveraged to attract investment and specialized talent in the life sciences sector.</p>
<h3><strong>What is the main challenge Barcelona must address in the coming years?</strong></h3>
<p>The main challenge is to improve collaboration between the public and private sectors, particularly in the healthcare field, by streamlining bureaucratic processes and promoting the use of advanced technologies in the public health system. Furthermore, data sharing between public and private entities should be facilitated to speed up research and advance personalized medicine.</p>
<h3><strong>What do you think should be the role of the new generations and their involvement in the development of the city? </strong></h3>
<p>New generations must drive innovative projects, invest in education, and create new forms of participation through public-private collaboration. They should also play an active role in the transition toward a more sustainable and equitable city model.</p>
<h3><strong>What business sectors do you think Barcelona needs to focus on?</strong></h3>
<p>Barcelona should focus on the life sciences and health sectors. These industries not only foster innovation and attract foreign investment, but they also generate quality employment, thereby strengthening the well-being of citizens and the protection of the city’s cultural heritage.</p>

			<p>London regularly tops the global rankings for <strong>sports cities</strong> boosted by its rich sporting heritage, numerous events, extensive media coverage and vibrant cultural dynamism. The city also stands out in terms of the number of <strong>startups and investment in SporTech</strong> thanks to initiatives such as the London Sport Tech Hub and access to specialized private capital with a strong appetite for investment. By 2024, investment is estimated to reach <strong>€300</strong> <strong>million</strong>.</p>
<p>Barcelona has unique assets to lead the <strong>sports sector at a global level</strong>. Initiatives such as the Barcelona Sports Hub, the Espai Barca or the Pavelló Blau should contribute to the growth of the start-up network, replicating the success of adjacent sectors such as science and technology. Investors with the potential to finance transformational projects are needed, as well as large companies that articulate the ecosystem, creating a <strong>link with the territory</strong> and sharing a <strong>long-term strategic vision</strong> with the city.</p>

			<p>Barcelona Global has launched the sixth edition of the Barcelona 2040 program, with the aim of connecting young talents and offering them the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of the city and its various economic sectors. In this new edition, 37 participants, with an average age of 31, will have the opportunity to visit key companies and institutions and engage in dialogue with leaders in fields such as science, entrepreneurship, technology, culture, medicine, and sports, among others.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The program, which will conclude in April 2025, aims to prepare these professionals to lead the companies of the future. Over several months, the participants will explore Barcelona, interacting with leaders from multiple sectors, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the city’s business and social realities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Among the scheduled visits for this year are companies and institutions such as Agbar, AstraZeneca, the Liceu Conservatory, Cooltra, Kosmos, the Alba Synchrotron, and the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). These companies represent the diversity of sectors in which Barcelona is a pioneer, as well as areas where the city has potential for growth and development.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to the visits, participants will engage in group innovation dynamics organized by the Imagine program and led by Xavier Verdaguer, aimed at fostering creative and disruptive thinking—a key aspect for developing new ideas that can positively impact the city.</p>

<p>The 37 young professionals in this edition represent 16 business sectors and come primarily from Europe and Latin America. They have an average of seven years of work experience and are employed by well-known companies such as Bluecap, HP, Mango, Telefónica, and PWC. Their diversity and commitment to the city reflect Barcelona Global’s approach to building a connected city with a forward-looking vision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Barcelona 2040 program, which has already involved nearly 200 young people over its six editions, continues to position itself as a key platform for developing young leadership in the city. The participants are selected by a committee of experts, composed of business leaders, academics, and representatives from prestigious institutions, who assess their commitment and ability to generate innovative proposals to improve Barcelona.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With initiatives like this, Barcelona Global reaffirms its commitment to developing local and international talent, contributing to making Barcelona one of the best cities in the world for attracting and retaining impactful talent.</p>

<p>Barcelona has made history in the America's Cup by hosting for the first time an exclusive competition for women. In addition, the city also hosted the third edition of the Youth America's Cup, the youth regatta that was held for the first time in 2013.  The Unicredit Youth America's Cup ended last September 26th, after 9 days of intense racing, while the Puig Women's America's Cup is held the week before the America's Cup Grand Final.</p>
<p><b>Unicredit Youth America&#8217;s Cup</b></p>
<p>The final of the Unicredit Youth America's Cup had a clear winner. The Americans had a difficult start since they reached early the port end of the line and thus received a 75-meter penalty. In addition, they made several minor mistakes that increased their disadvantage against their opponent. The Italian team did not make any mistakes, demonstrating the strong leadership of <strong>Marco Gradoni</strong>. Thus, <strong>Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli</strong> secured the victory with a commanding performance over their opponent, the Americans of <strong>NYYC American Magic</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Apart from the two finalists, among the other ten teams the Swedes and the Australians stood out. <strong>Swedish Challenge powered by Artemis Technologies</strong> won four out of the five races, an outstanding performance; and <strong>Andoo Team Australia</strong> demonstrated their talent by finishing second despite some mistakes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>Puig Women’s America’s Cup.</b></p>
<p>Defying the gender barriers of previous editions of the America's Cup, the Puig Women's America's Cup is held. Sailing has traditionally been a male-dominated discipline. Therefore, the inclusion of a women's competition promotes <strong>equity</strong> in the sport and has the potential to <strong>inspire</strong> a new generation of female athletes. The Puig Women's America's Cup offers a valuable opportunity for female racers to compete in a high-level international event.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Throughout the 170-year history of the America’s Cup, women had also participated, integrated into the teams, although these were always composed of a majority of men. This competition offers an exclusive platform for female racers. Thus, it amplifies the visibility and leadership of women in a sport traditionally dominated by men.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Twelve teams participate in the competition from New Zealand, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, the United States, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Sweden, and Australia. The regattas feature notable athletes such as <strong>Hannah Mills</strong> (United Kingdom), Olympic medalist and one of the most awarded sailors in the world; and <strong>Marie Riou</strong> (France), winner of the Volvo Ocean Race and multiple world champion in the Nacra 17 class. Both make their first America’s Cup debut in this edition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Taking into account that physical strength is a determining factor for maneuvering in navigation, the boats used are the <strong>AC40</strong>. These monohulls have been specifically designed to allow more equal conditions. Equipped with foiling technology, thus reducing water resistance, the competitors have to focus on their technical and tactical skills to achieve victory.</p>

			<p class=" translation-block">Los Angeles is home to a <strong>vibrant ecosystem of technology startups</strong> and established companies, especially in Silicon Beach, which includes areas such as Santa Monica and Venice. Here, companies such as Snap Inc. and Hulu, along with various incubators, contribute to a dynamic environment for innovation. The city <strong>attracts talent from around the world</strong> thanks to its attractive lifestyle and prestigious educational institutions.</p>
<p>In recent years, Barcelona has emerged as a <strong>technology hub</strong>, excelling in digital health, fintech and smart cities. However, its ecosystem is relatively smaller and less mature compared to that of Los Angeles. Strengthening Barcelona's tech ecosystem would require improving tax incentives for investors who support local startups, promoting missions to tech hubs, and establishing <strong>global alliances with other tech cities</strong> to share best practices and attract talent.</p>
