Asociacion De Comerciantes Y Empresarios De Mojacar (ACEM)

The ACEM represents the local business community.

ACEM is the voice of business in the area. It welcomes all sizes of businesses, be they start-ups or established, small or large, from any sector or from other business groups. In fact the ACEM’s strength comes largely from the diversity of its membership.

What does ACEM do?

The ACEM has three main functions. Firstly, it voices the needs and interests of the local businesses community, and feeds these into the Town’s strategists. ACEM will seek to be represented on all the key local partnerships and initiatives, including the economic and learning inititatives, and any associated local and regional business forums. It represents the local business community as a whole, rather than focussing on specific segments, sectors or special-interest groups.

Secondly, ACEM provides members with opportunities to meet, learn from, and network with a diverse range of other business people. Monthly events alternate between ‘Business Skills Training’ and ‘Business Issues Debate’. Events will include seminars on Creativity, Marketing and E-Commerce, and discussions of Business Legislation, Local Building Programmes and Regional Transport.

The ACEM events will enjoy a high reputation in the area for quality networking and provide an excellent way to keep in touch with the local business community.

Thirdly, but by no means a last priority, the members of ACEM will strive to bring new business growth to the Mojacar area, encourage growth in tourism and work together to put this wonderful area of Spain well and truly on the map, as the ideal location to visit and to which to settle.

What makes the ACEM different?

Mojacar and the surounding areas have a wide range of businesses (and some associations) that represent various retail areas and business sectors, as well as different sizes of companies. The area, however, has only a small number of informal groups and networking organizations. The diverse businesses of this area are one of the strengths within the locale but there is a very definate need to embrace the opportunities that are available and utilise the strengths of the individuals within each of the sectors, in order to help this area prosper. Regretably, such diversity can also result in a lack of focus at the strategic level, and ACEM has been established to direct such necessary strategic focus.

What the ACEM brings is a sense of cohesiveness. It promotes a more collegiate approach to business representation, where companies of different sizes, sectors and business models come together to share information and knowledge across these boundaries.
