The ARAPDIS Association attended as an invited guest the commemorative event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Fundación INCYDE, which took place at the prestigious Teatro Real in Madrid. The gathering highlighted a quarter-century of dedication to fostering entrepreneurship in close partnership with thousands of entrepreneurs, Chambers of Commerce, businesses, and institutions committed to economic development.
Throughout the session, participants reflected on the journey achieved so far and addressed the major milestones shaping the future of business, focusing on innovation, digitalization, corporate competitiveness, and, most importantly, the social impact of entrepreneurship.
The event held a deeply meaningful connection for our organization, as José Luis Bonet, President of Fundación INCYDE, also serves as the Honorary President of ARAPDIS. In his keynote speech, Bonet emphasized the human and community-driven dimension of business creation:
“Throughout these 25 years, we have proven that entrepreneurship is not merely a pathway to create businesses. It is also a powerful tool for economic and social transformation. Wherever new business initiatives emerge, opportunities, employment, innovation, and the ability to retain local talent quickly follow.”
From ARAPDIS—an organization currently building new horizons for social inclusion and entrepreneurship through projects like the future OIQU Observatory—we would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Fundación INCYDE on this landmark anniversary and share our deepest gratitude for the invitation. We fully share their vision of creating opportunities that transform society, and we will continue working together toward a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible entrepreneurial ecosystem for everyone.
