THE PORT OF VIGO WILL HAVE A NEW INTERACTIVE MUSEUM DESIGNED BY ITS OWN EMPLOYEES

·        The implementation phase of the finalist projects of the 1st edition of the APVIGO Intraemprende programme is underway.

·        Jairo Mera and Noemí Sío are leading the creation of a space that combines historical dissemination and smart tourism.

·        Alberto López is designing a digital solution that acts as a virtual trainer, integrating personalised physical activity and nutrition plans.

·        Laura Otero's ‘Ondiñas’ programme will promote career guidance and closer ties between Vigo and its port.

The Port of Vigo has taken a decisive step towards its cultural and social modernisation. After months of training under the umbrella of the Blue Growth strategy, the institution chaired by Carlos Botana has presented the results of the first edition of its intrapreneurship programme, in which its own employees have dared to design the future of the port.

The result of these months of training and specialised mentoring has been four projects that will now move on to a technical evaluation phase to determine the steps for their final implementation, consolidating the Port of Vigo as a benchmark in talent management and the blue economy. ‘We are not only seeking to modernise infrastructure, but also our organisational culture,’ said the port's chief executive, who was very pleased to learn about these projects ‘with a port soul’ in detail.

A new cultural epicentre: The Port of Vigo Museum

As part of its strong commitment to promoting heritage, the Port of Vigo will invest in a museum designed by workers Jairo Mera and Noemí Sío. This project is the result of the fusion of two key concepts: historical dissemination and smart tourism.

The new space will be located in the port area and will showcase the evolution of the port from its strategic origins to its current role as an economic driver.

The museum will also be supported by a technological solution designed by Jairo Mera, consisting of an application that will offer personalised and accessible routes around the port area, integrating Vigo's cultural and natural heritage with the port's commercial activity.

A ‘virtual trainer’ for the port community

Similarly, and in its commitment to the well-being of its human capital, the institution will also promote sport through the ‘O Porto Móvese’ project, devised by Alberto López. This is a technological solution that acts as a virtual trainer, integrating personalised physical activity and nutrition plans.

The application is specifically designed to adapt to the particularities of the working environment of port companies, promoting healthy lifestyles from the heart of the organisation.

Alongside these proposals, the programme has also given the green light to initiatives such as Laura Otero's ‘Ondiñas’ Programme, which in this case focuses on career guidance and breaking down barriers between citizens and the port.

Following the success of this first edition, the organisation will soon launch the second call for proposals for this initiative, which has served to confirm that the institution's most powerful driver of innovation lies in its own human capital. The selected projects will also form part of the Port of Vigo's Blue Growth strategy.
