CEOE Aragón and CEEI Aragón have presented TRANSFORMER at the headquarters of the business organisation, a new innovation platform designed to support Aragonese companies in the creation of new business models, the development of transformative projects, and the generation of new growth opportunities.
The event brought together institutional representatives, industrial and technology companies, financing experts, and more than one hundred attendees connected to the region’s business and innovation ecosystem.
An initiative to accelerate innovation from within companies
In the opening session, Jesús Arnau, Director General of CEOE Aragón, highlighted that TRANSFORMER was created “to turn ideas into real projects and projects into new business lines, boosting companies’ competitiveness and strengthening Aragón’s innovation ecosystem.”

TRANSFORMER opens the door to multiple scenarios: from the creation of new startups and spin-offs to joint developments with suppliers, technological partnerships, or the entry of investors to explore new economic sectors.
