http://www.elcorreodeburgos.com/noticias/2013-03-13/cajaviva-y-aje-colaboraran-para-dar-formacion-financiera-a-los-emprendedores13/03/2013Entrepreneurs who take their first steps into a "protective structure" and "training" as a business incubator are more likely to survive their initiative than those "entrepreneurs by obligation" to launch the business without proper training.

Burgos saw the creation of 204 new companies in 2011, 56 more than in the previous year
http://www.diariodeburgos.es/noticia/Z93D0C86C-D710-1E1F-D64023010E1D263E/20120621/burgos/registro/creacion/204/nuevas/empresas/2011/56/mas/a%C3%B1o/anterior28/06/2012Out of the 204 new firms, the 49.51 percent were created by men and the 50.49 percent belong to female, with the more common profile of a person between 25 and 45 years with high school degree, with a less than one year unemployment period.

The Dry Port aims to be the key logistical corridor to Algeciras
http://www.diariodeburgos.es/noticia/ZE21422BB-B3A2-AEF9-AEA6FA596A670A48/20120628/puerto/seco/aspira/ser/clave/logistica/corredor/algeciras28/06/2012The agreement reflects accurately what Villafría aspires to be for many years, a vital logistical node in the north of the peninsula, a kind of a center of rail freight business, in which the major ports in northern peninsular ( Bilbao and Gijon, mainly) concentrated loads for shipping to destinations such as Madrid, Seville, among other capitals, or the ports of Algeciras, Barcelona and Valencia.
Villafría, says Gonzalo Ansotegui, manager of the dry port, "fits perfectly into the puzzle strategic rail freight because it is very well situated as it is an industry that demands around rail services." In fact, since their operation despite the removal of the service to the port of Valencia, has tripled container traffic up to nearly 4,500 last year, a movement that comfortably exceed this year with the arrival of trains from (or address) Bilbao.
Villafría currently operates seven trains a week: three to Zaragoza, one of Barcelona and the rest doing the triangle Bilbao-Madrid via Zaragoza Villafría. These convoys generate an average traffic of 24 trucks per day loading and unloading work. However, estimating in three hours time to the development of a convoy, the terminal Burgos could have capacity to serve six daily, which would be necessary to increase the services available from Renfe, operating cranes, transport and could even extend to night time activity (currently, operates from 8.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 18.00). It is feasible, he recognizes.
Within 10-15 years, Villafría also need much more space, because a logistic node bases its activity on the turnover of goods. Operators require a large stock of empty containers and many shipping companies to shit merchandise. "Do not think about tomorrow, but in the next 20 years," recalls Ansótegui, who points out that to date only been implemented half of the 2,500 m2 expansion of the beach road approved in 2011 by the ADIF, allowing improved loading and unloading large convoys of 410 meters in length without costly maneuvers.
"Underutilized"
The Dry Port manager insists that, despite its potential, the terminal is still Villafría "underutilized" (in fact, two days a week serving no trains) and although the numbers show that is the center most important logistical Castilla y? Leon, "the Board endeavors to promote other sites that have no future and not wanting to see that in Burgos things are done well, even in times of crisis." The dispersion of supply rail logistics in the region, they conclude, reduces competitiveness and the investment required to Puerto Seco.
This is a not bad if you think that the main connection to the south of the peninsula, the line Burgos-Aranda, is unusable for freight traffic, an old claim that touches himself to Arandina industry and has not yet solution.
The Dry Port consolidates the second train to Barcelona and it will have one more in fifteen days
EL CORREO DE BURGOS15/02/2010The perspectives of the Spanish companies for the year 2010, according to a report of the Chambers of Trade, foresee a recovery of the exports, thanks to the increase of the sales on the outside.
The province of Burgos already walks in a positive path and the last available information of the exports to July, 2009 assesses a whole of 224 million Euros, which supposed an increase of 4,8 % with regard to the last year. The imports promote 182 million, one 7,6 more %, for what the balance of the commercial scale is positive with 42,4 million Euros, in spite of the current economic crisis.
The indicator of the exterior(foreign) trade in the province has influence in the march of the Center of Transport of Burgos (CT Burgos), that exploits Villafría's Dry Port, and that now announces the putting in march of a new train with connection between(among) the capital and Barcelona, of punctual form and providing that sufficient beech goods to transport. The news arises after producing(operating on) the second railroad only one month ago. Therefore, the Dry Port of Burgos will possess(rely on) from fifteen days three convoy of going and return, two they with a fixed weekly periodicity.
The manager of the Center of Transport of Burgos, Gonzalo Ansótegui, stands out the importance of possessing(relying on) another convoy to Barcelona. " In the good moments when there was many activity, we were relying on a weekly train from 2007 that in exportation it(he) was complete but with a load of sluggish(weak) enough import. Now, we have two connections and, shortly, there will be another because in certain moments there are goods that we cannot load ", it(he,she) makes clear. And, everything, in an economic conjuncture that is not the best.
But the good news can have continuity since the persons in charge of the Dry Port of the capital study the possibility of connecting Burgos with Valencia, thanks to an extension from Madrid and up to Bilbao. It(he,she) would mean to recover the link with another important port of the Mediterranean, which got lost in March of last year after three years of functioning before the lack(mistake) of profitability of the operator Hanjing who was exploiting the route. The long distance train between(among) Burgos and Valencia, at first(in principle), is rejected by his(her,your) high economic cost and with the dread of not existing load. Another thing would be to have two weekly punctual services, thanks to the nearness of Madrid.
You climb in Saragossa and Vitoria The third train that will operate between(among) Barcelona and Burgos, as the one that already works for one month, it(he,she) will have scales in Saragossa and Vitoria, with the intention of completing the load. At present, the two convoy proceeding from the port of Barcelona every Tuesday come to Villafría's station and on Thursday night, though the containers disburden throughout Wednesday and Friday. The forecast is that the third train, of a punctual way, inserts between these days.
Ansótegui admits that the key of the good march of the Center of Transport of Burgos, with a considerable increase of the goods to transporting, owes to itself to the existence of trains multiclients of the operator TCB Railways every week, which they allow the load of containers - both of import and of exportation - with content for any shipping one. Before, on the other hand, the only(unique) convoy existed for an alone client. " There are companies that, from the whole life, work with the shipping one and do not want to change because it(he,she) they is OK. Another thing is that if to this shipping one like Cosco or China Shipping them one offers the possibility of being mounted in the train, with a few very competitive prices, he(she) will accept the transport ", makes clear Ansótegui.In addition, stands out the good work of the operator who optimizes the loads(charges) with the scales in Saragossa and Vitoria. The CT of Burgos realizes the transportations whereas TCB contracts and completes the train.
Since always it has happened in an industrial city as Burgos, the weight of the load of the exports is superior to that of the imports in Villafría's Dry Port. The solution is to compensate the equipment(team) because it is " mathematically impossible to fill all the containers that go out ". Hereby, the train comes to Burgos with 80 % of coaches (between(among) empty and complete) whereas almost always it(he,she) goes towards Barcelona to the complete one.
As for the type of load, it(he,she) continues being of the most varied. The chemical products have a good behavior but also there are the sectors of the plastic, automotion and nourishment.
Promotion of the Port of Barcelona Burgos was the city chosen by the Port of Barcelona to present his(her,your) railway services and of short is(am) shipping, more known as the highways of the sea with the transport of goods by ship for short tours.
The persons in charge of the Port of Barcelona emphasize the perspectives of growth of Burgos in the sector of the transport and the logistics, in spite of the current moment of economic crisis, and the enormous possibilities of an enclave that moves 23 % of the exterior(foreign) trade of goods with a whole of 51,8 million tons a year. It is a question of a port that it(he,she) connects with the principal ones of Italy and the north of Africa, besides perspectives to grow in areas as Turkey, Slovenia and Greece.
The strategic location of Burgos, in the north half of the Iberian Peninsula and bordering with Alava, Biscay, La Rioja and Cantabria, they turn her into a node for the networks(nets) viarias and railway Spanish. Other one of the strong points of the city is to possess(to rely on) two important infrastructures as the Center of Transport Pays duty of Burgos and the Dry Port, with Villafría's station that allows the railway connection between(among) Burgos and the Mediterranean
The manager of the Center of Transport of Burgos, Gonzalo Ansótegui, stands out the bet that has demonstrated the Port Authority of Barcelona for Burgos. In addition, the functioning of the second train and, shortly, the third convoy is a guarantee for the companies of the province, which not only will know the advantages of the transport of goods by train but also the competitive prices of this system
