The labor market is increasingly stressed by global trends, and the support of entrepreneurship emerges as a way to contribute to the generation of employment. At the same time, however, support for entrepreneurship is focused on the project definition stages, often leaving aside sales and direct contact with the audience, where traditionally excluded groups in particular have difficulty generating a customer network. La Pionera piloted a market for people who are just starting out.
Challenge
The City of Barcelona needed strategic support to implement a new pilot policy facilitating disadvantaged communities' entrepreneurship efforts.
Interventions
Design research, both of disadvantaged communities and key internal players in the municipality. Strategic design overseeing the final users' experience, coordinating with separated teams of architects and graphic designers (131dg).
