EAE Business School Barcelona and Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco to develop training programs to boost financial talent

This union will also foster research in finance to drive innovation and development in the sector with the creation of a Research Observatory. The combination of academic resources and industry experts allows for the creation of a robust research system. The Observatory will explore and analyze emerging trends, challenges and opportunities to generate insights that can be applied to improve financial and business practices.

"The alliance with the Barcelona Finance Hub means boosting financial talent and attracting it to the city of Barcelona with a global vision, from training, practicality from the hand of financial companies to research, through innovation projects in the financial sector," said Natalia Bagnati, director of Corporate at EAE Business School Barcelona.
