The Antonio Muñoz Armero Foundation and the Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM) have signed a collaboration agreement to promote and support the professional training and higher education of AMC GLOBAL employees and their families.

This agreement will facilitate the training of excellence of AMC GLOBAL employees and their direct family members, who will be able to access a large number of UCAM training programmes on the Murcia and Cartagena campuses enjoying favourable conditions.

This agreement is the result of the excellent relationship between the two institutions, especially fruitful in the field of research and innovation through the International Chair in Innovation and Sustainable Development UCAM-AMC, created in 2016, as well as via several industrial doctorates.

Created in 2018, the Antonio Muñoz Armero Foundation is a non-profit organisation focused on the talent and personal and professional development of AMC GLOBAL employees and their families, mainly through excellence in training. 

The purpose and values of the Foundation are inspired by the values of Antonio Muñoz Armero, who was committed throughout his life to providing educational opportunities to talented people without resources, providing everything necessary for them to be able to pursue their university or postgraduate studies at the best international educational centres.

In recent years, the AMA Foundation has designed and financed, among others, two Executive Development Programmes, Slingshot High Potential with IE Executive University, for 40 senior executives of AMC GLOBAL. The foundation has also organised a Merit University Scholarship Programme for the children of employees and frequently holds masterclasses of excellence for the teams at the company on current cross-cutting issues, such as Positive Leadership, Critical Spirit, Trends or Macroeconomics.

According to Antonio Muñoz Beraza, CEO of AMC GLOBAL and President of the Foundation: ‘With this agreement we aim to contribute to the professional and personal development of our employees and their families. We hope this initiative will be received with the same enthusiasm with which we worked to make it a reality’.

These words were endorsed by María Dolores García, UCAM President, who added that ‘with this agreement we wish to consolidate our link with AMC GLOBAL in the field of training excellence and we seek to launch new research and development projects, taking on new challenges in the field of food together, especially in innovative healthy beverages’.

The agreement was signed on Tuesday 9 April 2024 at the AMC GLOBAL facilities by the UCAM President, María Dolores García, and by Antonio Muñoz Beraza, President of the Antonio Muñoz Armero Foundation. The agreement shall be renewed on a yearly basis.
