Murcia Chamber honors local businesses and leaders

The Murcia Chamber of Commerce handed out its 2025 Premios Cámara on May 21 at the Teatro de Invierno in San Javier during the Noche de la Economía Murciana, an annual gala focused on regional business achievement. The winners were Vidal Golosinas, Cammmpillo, UCAM Murcia CB, OdinS and businessman José María Albarracín. Local reports said the event also included special posthumous mentions for José Fuertes Fernández of Grupo Fuertes and Alberto Martínez Ramos, linked to 3D-printed bionic prosthetics through Limbium Makers. The chamber and local media described the awards as recognition for international expansion, commerce, tourism, innovation and professional trajectory. ### Which companies and people were recognized in San Javier? Vidal Golosinas received the award for Expansión Internacional, according to the Murcia Chamber’s published list of 2025 winners. Cammmpillo was recognized in Comercio Selecto, UCAM Murcia CB’s 40th anniversary was honored in Desarrollo Turístico, and OdinS won in Innovación y Desarrollo Tecnológico. José María Albarracín received the Trayectoria Profesional award. (laopiniondemurcia.es) La Opinión de Murcia and Murciadiario both listed the same five principal winners in coverage before and after the gala. The chamber had announced those results in April after the jury meeting for the 2025 edition of the awards. ### Why was UCAM Murcia CB included among business award winners? (camaramurcia.es) UCAM Murcia CB was honored specifically for “Desarrollo Turístico,” not for an on-court result, according to the award citations published by local outlets and the chamber. Coverage tied the recognition to the club’s 40th anniversary, with the award framed around its contribution to Murcia’s visibility and tourism development. (camaramurcia.es) The chamber’s categories show that the awards extend beyond corporate earnings or exports and include sectors that contribute to the regional economy in other ways. In this edition, those categories ranged from international business activity to selective retail and technology development. ### What do the awards say about the chamber’s priorities this year? (laopiniondemurcia.es) The Murcia Chamber said when it opened nominations in February that the 2025 awards would distinguish excellence in Expansión Internacional, Comercio Selecto, Desarrollo Turístico, Innovación y Desarrollo Tecnológico, and Trayectoria Profesional. Those same categories were reflected in the final winners announced in April and honored in May. (camaramurcia.es) Murciadiario reported that chamber president Miguel López Abad used the gala to defend the role of entrepreneurs in the regional economy. La Opinión described the evening as one of “reivindicación y reconocimiento empresarial,” language that matched the chamber’s public framing of the event as both celebration and institutional statement. (camaramurcia.es) ### Were there any additional mentions beyond the five main winners? La Opinión’s photo gallery and event coverage said the gala also granted special posthumous mentions to José Fuertes Fernández and Alberto Martínez Ramos. Fuertes was cited for his leadership of Grupo Fuertes, while Martínez Ramos was identified as a driver of 3D-printed bionic prosthetics through Limbium Makers. (murciadiario.com) Those mentions did not replace the main prize categories. The five competitive awards remained the chamber’s formal 2025 winners, as listed in the chamber announcement and repeated in local coverage. ### How large was the event and what comes next for the chamber? Murciadiario said about 300 people attended the gala in San Javier, making it one of the chamber’s larger public business events this month. (laopiniondemurcia.es) The same outlet described the gathering as bringing together political, business and institutional figures from across the Region of Murcia. (camaramurcia.es) The Murcia Chamber’s website says its next scheduled public event is the XII Feria de Empleo Talento Joven on May 27 at the patio of Campus de la Merced. The chamber said 40 companies are due to take part in that employment fair, which it linked to the Tour del Talento initiative backed by Fundación Princesa de Girona.
