Unicaja Banco reinforces its support to the business fabric and entrepreneurs in Andalusia with the sponsorship of the 6th edition of the Andalucía Emprende Awards, whose provincial phase has finished today in Granada. This year, the winning companies have been ‘Huerta Tropical’ and ‘Maquetas Axfito’.
