The space that will be part of the current premises is designed as a strategic center for the development of companies and SMEs and is part of the Industrial Park Reconversion Plan promoted by the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto.
As explained by the president of EMAPI, Santiago Caprarulo, the building will feature a coworking space for industrialists, workers, and entrepreneurs and will function as a startup incubator. Training and initiatives related to the development of R&D activities will also be provided.
“In dialogue with Pedro Kohon, Director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy, we thought of a modern design that includes spaces that allow for interaction, the generation of links between those who undertake and produce, and precisely a place where innovation occurs and new technologies and knowledge are generated and applied, mainly so that the people who attend can work with the companies based in the Park, thus generating a virtuous circle that transforms axes of the local economy,” he detailed.
Likewise, Caprarulo indicated, “we seek for it to be a center for training and support for the development of the Knowledge Economy. Featuring a room where meetings and networking actions can be held, and where officials related to the subject, specialists, and prominent speakers can also be received. The expectations for this space are high because we understand that today it is a place that the city is demanding, in a productive and industrial node and in a strategic location for the city such as this Park”
The Knowledge Hub will be located in a green space designated within the existing complex, taking into account its location, also guaranteeing sustainable development and environmental care (since it will have sustainability standards in its construction), while also facilitating accessibility and the link between the different institutions, SMEs, and companies of our city.
