DIVERSA has been awarded the prestigious award by the “Deputación da Coruña” among several emerging companies.

 

The rationale of PEL awards

 

The PEL awards are part of the Local Employment Plan of the “Deputación da Coruña”. It is a strong commitment to entrepreneurship, innovation in employment, and the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises as a key stakeholder in the economic development of the Galician province of “A Coruña”.

These types of initiatives seem to have worked perfectly to date throughout the region. In 2021 Galicia created 21% of the biotechnological companies in Spain and established itself as the second most ‘bioentrepreneurial’ region.
