Oihane Aguirregoitia

Born in 1980, my background is on Technical Engineering in Industrial Electronics and Organization Engineering at the University of Deusto. I can speak in Basque, Spanish and English.
My real passion is serving to my City: Bilbao, that “small” city in size but “big” in content and therefore capable of competing on a global level. A City with identity and values that move citizens.
After my initial steps in the labour market training on IT, I first served as City Councillor for Health and Consumers at Bilbao City Council. I was later assigned Councillor for Equality, International Cooperation and Citizenship. Subsequently I was appointed Councillor for Youth and Sports.
Last but not least, after last elections in 2019, Mayor Aburto count on me for the Public Services, Civic Engagement and Internationalization city department. I currently serve as Councillor to guarantee close and effective attention to the citizens in all service points (physical offices, web channels). Also to design and manage participatory and co-creation processes with citizens.
Smart Bilbao items are also my responsibility: Open Government, transparency and strategy of technological modernization to improve services and the quality of life of Bilbao. In charge of the strategy of cross-cutting international positioning of Bilbao, aligned with inter-institutional strategic goals and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals.
