Moventia joins the fight against childhood cancer

Today, 15 February, is International Childhood Cancer Day, a date that is particularly important for us at Moventia. This year, Moventis Autobuses Lleida decided to take action alongside the Association of Children with Cancer (@afanoc_lleida) and joined the Put Your Cap On initiative (@posatlagorra), an event aimed at children and teenagers with cancer that will take place at La Seu Vella in Lleida on 27 March.

 

This event is a symbol of solidarity against childhood cancer, a big party that also seeks to raise social awareness about the reality of this disease. Everyone taking part will be able to enjoy free transport on our buses to La Seu Vella in Lleida, where the event will take place.

 

Moventia fully supports all the child warriors who fight against this disease every day and we continue to cooperate and protect their well-being in every way we can.

Moventia at the Palace of Catalan Music

 

Since 2018, Moventia has been working with the Orfeó Català – Palace of Catalan Music Foundation. This foundation’s mission is to promote music with a particular focus on choral singing and knowledge and communication of cultural heritage. Under this partnership, Moventia sponsored a concert performance of Missa Scala Aretina by Francesc Valls with “La Grande Chapelle” on 21 December. The Montserrat cathedral choir was due to take part in this concert. However, a last-minute case of COVID in one of the children meant they were unable to attend.

Moventia joins the Eurofirms Foundation campaign

 

To help celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Eurofirms Foundation launched its #IgualdeDiferentes #Igualdeprofesionales [#EquallyDifferent #EquallyProfessional] campaign to highlight the talent and skills of persons with disabilities who are often obscured by the numerous stereotypes that exist today.

The campaign is based on five illustrations by the prestigious illustrator, Javier Royo, that reveal how persons with disabilities are sometimes treated in order to underline the importance of recognising them as professionals in their own right.

Moventia has joined this initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.

 

 

Moventia supports the 2021 La Marató

Moventia has firmly maintained its commitment to society and even made it stronger at a time when support for tackling some tough circumstances is so very much needed. Moventia wants to be actively involved in developing a better society, whether that be by promoting its own programmes or by collaborating with non-profit entities and foundations in various areas. Hence, Moventia is supporting the TV3 “La Marató” once again this year, this time with two Izaro and Calella coaches for use by the various artists who will perform during the show.

The charity programme on TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio will air on Sunday, 19 December and will be focused on mental health problems. These issues are very common and affect one in four people at some point in their life. They have a heavy impact on society and healthcare services, as well as on the quality of life for those affected and others around them.

You can support this campaign by making your donation by bank transfer, the Internet, CaixaBank ATMs or Bizum

Jordi Castells in the Capital&Corporate magazine

Jordi Castells, Operations Director at Moventis, appears in the article entitled “Urban Mobility” published in the Capital&Corporate magazine.

“(…) The urban mobility sector is almost unrecognisable from how it was a decade ago. A commitment to sustainability from society, investors and the public authorities has driven the rise of new urban transport solutions with strong growth potential. In light of such a model shift, large corporations and venture capital and private equity funds have decided to take up positions in strategic projects and at strategic firms with strong potential for future development.(…). 

Moventia takes part in 2nd edition of Sant Joan de Déu Inseparables Gala

For the second consecutive year, Moventia had the pleasure of supporting the 2nd edition of the Sant Joan de Déu Inseparables Gala in Barcelona. This charity event seeks to make progress in the approach to researching serious diseases that affect children.

The evening consisted of a virtual dinner, with each attendee sat at home but connected via smartphones and computers. Everyone who registered for the event took part by making donations to their chosen line of research during the course of a gala that was full of entertainment, fun, prizes and lots of emotion.

More than 2,200 people living in over 25 Spanish provinces and 11 different countries came together for this evening of music, science and many surprises. Guests had the chance to hear about new medical projects at various departments, listen to the testimony of several families of patients who shared their experience first-hand and to re-live moments and experiences from the past, including a video made with oncology patients nine years ago that got everyone very emotional indeed.

A total of € 650,000 was raised by the event for the lines of research chosen by each guest attending the event. A night full of emotions that once again made it possible to raise funds to support the work being done to treat diseases in children at Sant Joan de Déu

Moventia at the Tomorrow Mobility World Congress

 Tomorrow.Mobility is a global event for promoting the future of mobility. As part of the Smart City Expo World Congress that began yesterday in Barcelona, this new event – jointly organised by Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a body of the European Union – was unveiled to society. The event is also supported by major institutions and companies in the mobility sector, including Moventia. Tomorrow.Mobility seeks to become a global benchmark in mobility and to grow beyond an isolated event as it will have an online knowledge platform that remains active throughout the year and an innovation hub for gathering the top players in the industry. Miquel Martí Escursell, Chairman of Moventia, has formed part of the Advisory Board that manages this debate and knowledge platform about the future of mobility since it was first set up and attended the event opening yesterday.

The Smart City Expo World Congress is a globally leading event on smart cities. Its partners include EIT Urban Mobility, the largest European initiative for transforming urban mobility created by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. It is also receiving initial support from over 100 companies and entities, including the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, United Nations, Microsoft, Mastercard, ADP (Airports of Paris), the International Association of Ports, the Port of Barcelona, Moventia, RACC and Social Car.

Tomorrow.Mobility is an evolution of the Smart Mobility Congress, the event focused on smart intercity and urban mobility that has been taking place alongside the Smart City Expo World Congress since 2016. Tomorrow.Mobility will tackle such issues as micro mobility (electric scooters, bicycles), public transport, mobility service providers (car sharing, aero taxis), the automotive industry (electric, connected and autonomous cars), last-mile logistics (e-commerce deliveries, delivery drones), smart infrastructures (fleet management, geopositioning and payment systems), the energy transition and efficiency, and digitalisation. It exists in response to the questions surrounding what mobility should be like in cities of the future with smart and sustainable transport systems, and builds an innovation network for urban mobility at a global level capable of encouraging innovation and its transformation towards a more sustainable form of mobility.

The event will take place at the Gran Via venue in Barcelona from 16 to 18 November

 

 

 

 

Moventia takes part in 1st PAE 3040 Forum

Josep María Martí, Managing Director of Moventia and Deputy Chairman of Moventis, attended the 1st PAE 3040 Forum organised by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and the Catalan Industrial Estates Union (UPIC). This recent event sought to analyse the transformative and innovative capability of Economic Activity Industrial Estates (PAE in Spanish).

The event, which discussed the future of industrial estates and their economic activity in Catalonia, produced some highly enriching results and debated various perspectives on key current affairs in this sector, such as Cofactoring, connectivity, sustainability and the importance of cross-cutting technology solutions.

In this regard, Josep Maria Martí took part in a round table discussion on innovation where he shared the various mobility options that Moventia offers to PAE and that seek to improve travel services for employees of companies based in these areas through such solutions as on-demand buses with the Moventis Empresa app.

This debate also benefited from opinions expressed by the experts Mercè Conesa, Director of INCASÒL (Catalan Institute of the Sun) and Board Member at ODEE (Observatori de la Dona Empresa Economia); Santi Macià, an officer from the Productive Fabric Service of Barcelona Provincial Council; and Vicenç Iglesias, Managing Director of MODI.
