A list of all the businesses and companies is available on the Employers section of the Agency's website.

The results and findings of this stage of the project are to be presented at a workshop to be held at CosmoCaixa on 13 May, an event which is aimed at the businesses and companies that participated in the survey as well as university officials, social partners, academics, students and others interested in the subject. The findings of the survey on Master's degrees in the employment outcomes project carried out by AQU Catalunya last year will also be presented for the first time at the event, followed by a discussion on ways to enhance synergies between the universities and business with the aim of analysing the future needs of business and for the universities to better meet the requirements of industry and business.
