About Us

We are a private, non-profit Foundation with a single goal: to accompany you so that you can say: I am what I want to be!

Our history

It all began in 1986, 40 years ago, when a group of young entrepreneurs eager to change things decided to launch the Autoocupació Foundation. They did so with a very clear idea: to help other people move their projects forward and build the professional future they desired.

Since then, many stories, many paths, and many important decisions have unfolded. Throughout these years, the Foundation has learned, evolved, and created its own ways of accompanying people, whether they want to become entrepreneurs, grow professionally, or reinvent themselves. Today, the Autoocupació Foundation is a solid and accessible entity that accompanies people at very different stages of their lives, but always with the same commitment: helping them be what they want to be.

Mission

To promote self-employment as an attractive alternative for exercising vocations and professional development, and to facilitate access to the necessary resources to create and consolidate their businesses.

Vision

Entrepreneurial spirit is a value deeply rooted in the population, and all individuals have the opportunity to launch and consolidate their professional and business initiatives.

Values

We promote private initiative committed to equal opportunities, based on proximity and trust as the pillars of our way of working. We act with professionalism, efficiency, and sustainability, driving projects with social impact and transformation, and fostering cooperation and networking as key tools to strengthen entrepreneurship and regional development.
