Yesterday, the plenary session of Paterna City Council unanimously approved the Paterna Local Pact for Innovation, a city strategy through which the City Council will promote and lead as the engine of socioeconomic development of the town, along with the main economic and social agents of the region.

It will be valid for two years from its signature and may be tacitly extended for two more years. Among its signatories will be, in addition to the Mayor of Paterna, Juan Antonio Sagredo, the regional councilor for Sustainable Economy, the Productive Sector, Commerce and Labor, Rafa Climent; the rector of the University of Valencia, Esteban Morcillo; the rector of the Universitat Politècnica, Francisco Mora Mas; the president of the Valencian Business Confederation, Salvador Navarro, the secretary of CCOO of the Valencià Country, Arturo León, and the general secretary of the UGT in Valencia, Ismael Sáez, among many others.

Amazon advances unstoppably in its expansion strategy in Spain and has already began to work to install its first logistics center in the Region. The electronic commerce giant will be located in Táctica Business Park -the third phase of Fuente del Jarro-, where it will locate its third warehouse in the country, after the ones of San Fernando de Henares in Madrid and Castellbisbal in Barcelona, which are operating at full capacity . In addition to these two warehouses, the company has two smaller urban facilities for its urgent delivery service in the first two capitals.

Paterna City Council expressed yesterday its "satisfaction that a multinational like Amazon has shown interest in the Tactica Business Park, one of the six business areas of the city, for its expansion plans in the region". However, in a context marked by strong discretion on both the company and the municipal government, the consistory limited to talk about "the possible arrival" of the US firm in the city. On the contrary, sources from the business environment of the industrial estate confirmed to LAS PROVINCIAS that they have started to work, as El Mundo announced yesterday, which also placed the start-up of the new center within a month.
