Bilbao Metropoli 30 is a non-profit, public-private partnership, created in 1991, whose aim is to promote the revitalization and development of the metropolitan Bilbao. Our members are 140 organizations, among which there are 30 municipalities from the metropolitan area of Bilbao, academic institutions, companies, professional associations and foundations. Our main objective is to lead the vision of the future of Bilbao, to promote initiatives of special interest for the development of the metropolis, to promote and coordinate debate fora to discuss the main aspects of the city and others, including teaching and training.

Its fundamental task is to promote a shared long-term vision for Metropolitan Bilbao, initially made up of 30 municipalities (hence its name), but within the flexible framework of the metropolitan concept, given that it is an area without defined geographical limits. Likewise, its mission focuses on aligning the public and private efforts of its associated entities in the achievement of this vision, through the promotion of transformative projects.

Bilbao Metropoli-30 has been described by an OECD study in 2009 about the Role of Development Agencies as visionary, collaborative, ambitious, agenda-setting, nimble and focussed.
