The CETT Fundació Entrepreneurship Day, organised with the support of the Barcelona Provincial Council, is the annual event that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation and the creation of new projects in tourism, hospitality, gastronomy and food service.

The event brings together students, alumni, professionals, companies and entrepreneurs to share experiences, discover initiatives with transformative potential, and reflect on the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship in the sector.

The event also hosts the final stage of the CETT Fundació Entrepreneurial Project Awards, recognising and showcasing innovative projects. During the day, the finalist projects will pitch their proposals to a specialised jury and the audience before the winners are announced.

The programme also includes presentations of entrepreneurial academic projects, inspiring conversations with entrepreneurs from the CETT community, and a session focused on personal development and emotional wellbeing — key aspects of navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship.
