Business Support Office (OAE)
The Business Support Office (OAE) is the best gateway to Barcelona and its metropolitan area for new businesses.
A business city
The OAE was created by Barcelona City Council through Barcelona Activa. It aims to improve the competitiveness of the economy and business framework in Barcelona and its metropolitan area and to make it easier for new companies to set up there.
The OAE draws a series of services and resources together into a single space to respond to the needs of local and international companies. It offers customised advice on all aspects of creating a new company: methods of financing, talent hunting, internationalising business and everything about municipal procedures relating to business activity. The OAE also organises training sessions and promotes networking amongst its users, who are professionals.
The OAE is located at the MediaTIC Building, in the 22@ technological district. It aims to boost the city’s economy to create new high-quality jobs and support the establishment of new companies linked to emerging economic sectors of the future, such as new technologies.
