The event features 88 speakers, mainly women, with 27 different nationalities represented. They will be taking part in the virtual sessions and facilitating information and resources on topics relating to personal landing, work and training, how to do business or to start up, as well as how to enjoy and be a part of the city.

Barcelona Expat Week is one of the measures by the Economic Response Coordination centre (CECORE), under a municipal government measure to promote new actions to capacitate, develop and generate talent in the city.

The event is free, with registration on the platform which will be used to create the virtual community. Over 1,700 people of 100 different nationalities have so far signed up to take part.
