The PP will request in plenary session that Dénia is a City of Science and Innovation
The spokesperson for the Popular Group in the Dénia City Council, María Mut, has presented a motion, which will be raised to the Plenary of the City Council, in which she requests that the Dianense town opt to obtain the distinction of City of Science and Innovation.
From the PP they ask that the City Council present the appropriate procedures and evaluations for the candidacy of the city of Dénia before the Ministry of Science and Innovation, within the established deadlines for this distinction to be granted (maximum term until 2 of December).
Según indica el escrito popular, «esta distinción es concedida a aquellas ciudades que se han distinguido en el apoyo a la innovación en sus territorios, definiendo políticas, potenciando estructuras, instituciones y empresas locales con un fuerte componente científico, tecnológico e innovador.
The Ministry of Science and Innovation has announced that it is working on improving this appeal with concrete measures. In this sense, it has approved a pilot project that will be managed by the General Secretariat for Innovation, endowed with 10 million euros between 2021 and 2022, to facilitate the incorporation of innovation agents in distinguished municipalities.
The cities distinguished with this award are part of the Network of "Cities of Science and Innovation" and the INNPULSO Network Association (ARINN). The Network is a forum for meeting and defining innovative local policies where experiences and projects are shared.
Los Populares han manifestado que consideran «sumamente valioso» para la ciudad de Dénia, formar parte del conjunto de ciudades distinguidas con dicho reconocimiento, al igual que ya lo son en la actualidad ciudades como Alfaz del Pi, Benidorm, Gata de Gorgos, Alcoy, etc.
