Exhibition of illustrations and Andorra is in a period of economic transition, of regeneration and reorientation of an economic model started the Decade of the seventies of the 20th century and until now competitive and growing, but that in recent years has presented a clear need of renovation because the economic analysis point out that, although the wealth of the country is above the European average , the growth has been reduced recently.

With the mission to diversify and modernise the Andorran economy, in 2005 he created the Bureau for business innovation (OIE). Specifically, the objectives were: a) to encourage the creation and development of new sectors of economic activity of added value; and b) position internationally for Andorra as an open economy, modern and attractive.

Then, in 2006, with the aim to consolidate the planning of the future of the Andorran economy, the Government established the program and the Agency Andorra 2020 economic strategy, to define and establish a set of priority actions to undertake in the next few years that they have become the source of the necessary transformation of the economy. The Government, with the aim of adjusting to the economic policies of most advanced countries, has set goals of modernisation, diversification and opening of the economy in which the sectors of services of high added value and new technologies have a leading role.

One of the main strands of the Andorra 2020 programme is the modernisation of the economic framework of Andorra to attract national and international investors, and which includes performances in several fundamental areas of the economic system; among others, the strengthening of the legal framework, the rules governing foreign investment and tax reform.

After the approval, at the end of 2007, of the law of corporations and limited liability and the law on the accounting for entrepreneurs, with the recent adoption of the law of foreign investments has closed the first phase of the strengthening of the legal framework which aims to establish a secure, transparent legal framework and international directives and regulations towards convergent.

As its reason, the latter legislation on foreign investment should become a very significant part of the economic policy aimed at promoting progress and competitiveness of the Andorran economy, because through the attraction of foreign capital can be achieved increase the level of development and of innovation. From its entry into force, the foreign capital will be able to have more presence in the country, up to one hundred percent of the share capital of companies of certain sectors, with the aim of diversifying the Andorran economy and attract sectors of high added value.

The next step in the process of economic reform and opening up is to introduce a tax reform that video the benefits of the companies and create a new tax that simplifies and unifies the current indirect taxes.

In addition to the modernization, another of the main strands of the Andorra 2020 programme is the diversification of the economy through the promotion of new sectors with which it aims to convert Andorra in a favourable environment for the creation and development of new companies. It is within the framework of this initiative which is a major part of the actions of the Bureau for business innovation.

This Office was created with the initial name of Office for Technology strategy and organically from the head of Government. With the restructuring of the Presidency of the Government of 26 September 2007, adopted the current name of Bureau for business innovation, and with the 20 initiatives of which consists the Andorra 2020 strategic plan has had an important role to encourage the emergence of new sectors.

In order to achieve the objectives, the OIE has been encouraging an environment suitable and attractive for the proper growth of entrepreneurship through the implementation of an innovation system that catalyses the synergies of the various actors in the economic growth, both public and private. This system is based on three axes: a) support entrepreneurship and catalyze it; b) facilitate the financing, and c) to promote awareness.

As a technical body of economic development, the OIE has given service to the company as the entrepreneur and private investor, and also has favored intermediation between these and the main socio-economic agents, both public and private, around common projects and key which benefit the country in general and the economic growth in particular.

Since its creation, the OIE has helped the development of 20 business projects through the Innovative Award and has supported one hundred projects; has promoted Andorra internationally through the Future of Europe Summit Economic Forum and has started a change in business mentality with the proposed services and innovative activities ever made in Andorra earlier.

However, the experience of the operation carried out during this time has shown the need to provide for a more flexible and dynamic management tool. The wanted to boost and support to businessmen and entrepreneurs requires an agile and efficient negotiator, sufficiently flexible to adapt to business needs and provide them with a quick response.
