At Fomento de San Sebastián, we are committed to showing our city as a city of innovation, through the San Sebastián Connecting Talent strategy. We have developed tools for professional development, talent attraction, retention and return through different programmes aimed at the recruitment of highly qualified profiles, entrepreneurship, as well as the Talent House Welcome Plan. We also participate in international fairs and hubs. 


This year, we have gone a step further and have launched the first edition of the San Sebastian Connecting Talent Prize, which aims to recognise and raise awareness of professionals who have had and have a close relationship with San Sebastian and who are now developing a distinguished career in the field of R&D and innovation beyond our borders.

We are sending you a brief summary so that you can help us find that person who has a distinguished international career in research, business or innovation. Help us to do so! 

We look forward to receiving your proposals - Click Here to Enter
