Working groups
Communication and visibility: It works to improve awareness and dissemination of the companies offered by the club. Among the actions carried out in this area is the launch of video campaigns on social networks, mainly Linkedin.
Last year, the first campaign served to highlight the importance of collaborations between companies and the consolidation of the innovation ecosystem around different areas or connection opportunities promoted by Málaga TechPark: Ideas, Nature, People, University, Talent and Sustainability.
For its part, the second wave, a series of 30 short video clips, allowed members of the Málaga TechPark Execs management club to share specific experiences of these business collaborations.
This year, the campaign launched by the Executives Club on Linkedin has consisted of publicising those products, solutions and services that are implemented by companies. Under the slogan ‘Powered by Málaga TechPark’, the wave consisted of five video campaigns with these products that were launched from 11 May to 30 June throughout Europe.
