Necoclí (Colombia)21.07.26

A network of small businesses boosts local tourism on the shores of the Caribbean Sea

In Necoclí, a coastal municipality in Colombia, tourism is advancing, driven by the creativity and hard work of 32 small businesses. For years, each business operated in isolation, lacking a structure that would allow for a consolidated joint offer and a stronger positioning of the destination. This dynamic began to change from 2025 onwards with the creation of the Necoclí Collaborative Tourism Network, an initiative promoted within the Work4Progress programme.

The talent driving the research of the future to improve lives

Research is usually told through its results, but behind every breakthrough lie less visible stories: early vocations, life changes and crucial support. One of the factors that most shapes a research career is early access to funding – fellowships, contracts or grants – as highlighted by the European Commission’s MORE4 study. The trajectories of Irene Marco, Marc Suárez-Calvet and César de la Fuente, fellows of the ”la Caixa” Foundation, show that innovation requires not only talent, but also time and trust.
