A new
edition of the Business Factory Auto (BFA) initiative is already underway, with
18 innovation projects participating: 10 in the acceleration phase and 8 with a
greater degree of maturity, in the consolidation phase.
In
this context, yesterday the welcome day of this new edition took place, which
included several presentations on the BFA and key issues for the automotive
sector such as Lean Manufacturing or the digital transformation of the sector
value chain, as well as a visit to the facilities of the initiative.
The
participating projects will end the stay in the accelerator the next months of
August (acceleration) and November (consolidation).
During
the stay, the projects will have a work space, financial support, training, and
a unique ecosystem composed of tutors, mentors, partners and other agents
related to the automotive sector.
The

and Industry of the Galician Government, the Consortium of the Free Zone of
Vigo, Groupe PSA and CEAGA, with the objective of identifying, accelerating and
consolidating specialized projects in automotive and transform them into viable
and scalable innovative companies that attract and retain talent.
