Etién Aldea continued his presentation highlighting the sacrificial work carried out by the municipalities for the public good. «Many times it is not visible, but we must highlight the work of the city councils when it comes to attract projects and investments to their localities and to improve the quality of life for their neighbors. We are witnesses of this difficult and not always rewarding work. in our day to day and for this reason we want to join this recognition”, assured the businessman.

Objectives that, in Village words, both Embou and the town halls have in common. «We share this desire to improve the quality of life of the Aragonese, in our case improving the connectivity of the towns and reducing the digital gap between the urban and rural environment», said Aldea, who wanted to launch a reflection to those present so that they could verify the work of Embou in the territory. «Among the great problems of the municipalities, three issues were always mentioned: housing, road communication and telecommunications. And lately, we see that towards the latter, the one that concerns us, there are hardly any mentions and if there are, it is positive, “analyzed Etién Aldea.

social return

«We do not want to poke out, because there is still a lot of work to be done, but we can affirm that we have been pioneers in reducing the digital divide in Aragon. In some towns we are the only ones that have installed fiber optics»continued the Business and Marketing Director of Embou, a company that continues to maintain a strong sense of belonging to the Aragonese community: «We keep intact our local business philosophy and we strive to create real wealth, employment and social return in the territory», he asserted. For this reason, Etién Aldea continued, “we work hand in hand with local collaborators, both in the technical and commercial sections”.

A work, that of Embou, that would not be possible in any way without the support of public institutions and administrations, as Village wanted to highlight. «Public-private collaboration is fundamental and necessary to achieve all the objectives that both of us set ourselves. and that always revert to the well-being of the citizen,” he said.

Embou is a company that “continues to grow day by day”. «Currently, we generate almost 1,500 direct and indirect jobs. In addition, we have 50 face-to-face customer service positions, and I would like to emphasize the face-to-face aspect”, Aldea pointed out.

One of the circumstances that the Embou representative recognized as key to the smooth running of the company fwas its alliance with the Caja Rural de Aragón, also present at the II Forum on Municipalism organized by EL PERIÓDICO DE ARAGÓN. «We have an excellent relationship with them. and thanks to this alliance we have 200 more collaboration points”, explained Aldea.

To show the work carried out by the company, the Embou Business and Marketing Director ended his speech by offering some numerical data that demonstrates the advances of the community in terms of telecommunications. «Today, our fiber optic service, an essential service in the times we live in, reaches 700 towns throughout Aragon, which means that we reach 95% of all Aragonese“said Village.

This tremendous development and bridging of the digital divide has been possible thanks to a «investment of more than 100 million euros that we have done in the last five years. Despite everything that has already been achieved, Etién Aldea said goodbye recalling the work that still lies ahead and with a promise thinking of the nearest future: «We will continue contributing to the development of our territory and its people”.
