Bilbao and other Basque cities are internationally avowed as successful urban regeneration models and through this project we want to spread and applied the expertise and knowledge of our Urban Solutions Consortium.
The main objective of the project is to seek new frameworks of work and cooperation for the partners of “Bilbao Urban & Cities Design” and GAIA IT Cluster in the field of urban solutions in three emerging markets such as India, Peru and the Philippines, in order to improve the partners international competitive position.
And more specifically, work will be done in the following areas:

- Search of international partners.
- Seek opportunities for the diversification of the Urban Solutions sector.
- Promotion of the urban solutions applied in the urban transformation process of the Metropolitan Bilbao Area, through the planned Reverse Trade Missions.
To develop the Project, the following steps will be fulfilled:

- Prospecting trips to three mentioned emerging markets.
- Organization of a Reverse Trade Mission from Peru and India.
- Organization of a Trade Mission to India and Peru with the Consortium of Companies.

India as probably the biggest urbanization process on a world scale and Peru with a clear lack of appropriate urban planning, represent an important opportunity for our urban expertise.
