Reus recognizes the European commitment of three local companies and institutions
Three companies from Reus, together with the Gaudí Institute and the Centre de Lectura, have received recognition for their European commitment. This award highlights a connection that often goes unnoticed but drives the city toward the international stage.
The presentation took place on May 12 at REDESSA Tecno, as part of the Europe Day events organized by the Department of Economic Promotion, Innovation, and Knowledge. The City Council thus values the local European projection.
