Throughout the journey, entrepreneurs from different municipalities will board the train to share their initiatives, exchange experiences and create new collaboration opportunities, with a particular focus on rural development. The journey will depart from Zaragoza and head to Canfranc. The Canfranero route provides a particularly suitable setting for bringing this initiative to different parts of the region and highlighting the entrepreneurial potential that exists both inside and outside urban centers.
Through the experience, Renfe and Aragón Emprende aim to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange and the creation of new opportunities, particularly in Aragón’s rural areas. The initiative is part of the program for Aragón’s 2026 Entrepreneurship Week, which will take place from October 26 to 30, and will serve as a meeting point ahead of the event for many of the stakeholders involved in the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
