On Tuesday 7 October 2026, from 18:00 to 20:00, the Hotel Porta Fira Santos in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat will host the FEmImpacte 2026 Awards ceremony, organised by the Llobregat Business Forum to recognise outstanding contributions to the region’s economic and social development. The event will bring together business leaders, public institutions, and socioeconomic stakeholders from L'Hospitalet and the wider Baix Llobregat area. It aims to highlight initiatives that strengthen competitiveness, social cohesion, culture, sustainability, and public-private collaboration.
Six Categories to Recognise Regional Impact
Awards will be presented in six categories: Economic Impact; Social Impact; Cultural Impact; Sustainability Impact; Impact of Public and Public-Private Initiatives on Business Development; and SME with the Most Impact in the Region. These categories reflect the Llobregat Business Forum’s goal of promoting projects that drive job creation, inclusion, cultural vitality, sustainable transition, and cross-sector partnerships. Each winner will receive an original artwork by Miquel Aparici, a sculptor based in L'Hospitalet, linking the awards to the local artistic community.
