He is known for his avant-garde, experimental, and groundbreaking cuisine. He creates dishes that deceive the eye but surprise the palate. He has taken cooking to new limits by fusing gastronomy with art, philosophy, theater, and neuroscience. That’s Andoni Luis Aduriz.

As part of the Sabores del Alma campaign and with the support of Bancamiga and Mastercard, this renowned chef’s dishes will delight 240 guests for two days at the Mola restaurant in Las Mercedes (Caracas). His techniques, wisdom, and essence will unite with those of a team of Venezuelan chefs to present a fusion of flavors.

With products brought from Spain, Margarita Island, and other regions of the country such as La Guaira and the Chacao Market, diners will enjoy unforgettable personal experiences led by Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose creativity has led the Mugaritz restaurant to be considered one of the best in the world, according to Restaurant magazine.

The founder of Mugaritz, in Rentería (Errenteria in Basque), Basque Country, studied at the San Sebastián Hospitality School, where he began to develop his passion for cooking. He has worked with renowned chefs such as Juan Mari Arzak and Martín Berasategui. Between 1993 and 1994, he was part of the El Bulli team, under the direction of Ferran Adrià. Today, he is an international benchmark in culinary research and development.

Sensory freedom on a plate: a pleasant and memorable sensorial experience in gastronomy, brought to you by Bancamiga and Mastercard

On his first visit to Venezuela, the winner of The Best Chef Science Award 2022 and a mentor at institutions such as Harvard and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) hopes to bring to the table creations that take diners beyond conventional parameters and generate unforgettable experiences, one of the goals that Bancamiga and Mastercard pursue with Sabores del Alma.

In addition to being a place to eat, Mugaritz serves as an experiment to explore flavors, textures, and narratives that challenge culinary customs. The same will happen with Mola this June 18 and 19. Customers will have the opportunity to appreciate how Andoni Luis Aduriz’s cuisine combines such diverse products and ingredients, abandoning traditional dishes in favor of pieces from prominent Venezuelan artists and artisans.

The founder of the Basque Culinary Center will show special Bancamiga and Mastercard clients dishes that break with the traditional, offering sensorial freedom and reaffirming why Mugaritz has two Michelin stars and three Repsol suns.

The tropicalized menu, featuring creations such as Entropía (cacao, seeds, and a return to the Chacao market), Oximoron (a Margarita Island ladle and summer truffle), Bestiario (onion and squid), Textura (fish with fish), and Sobremesear (7 capital virtues, and all the “kakao” of Venezuela), will allow guests to explore an explosive combination of flavors and sensations. Andoni Luis Aduriz confirms the reasons why Forbes magazine included him among the 100 most creative people in the world.

“We are very pleased that 240 of our customers are connecting with the cuisine of such a prestigious chef as Andoni Luis Aduriz, with an intimate and unforgettable gastronomic experience,” said José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, adding that “it is an honor for us to reward the loyalty of a group of customers with this tasting, where innovation, creativity, and good taste are the mainstays.”

Through the Sabores del Alma campaign, Bancamiga and Mastercard hope to bring their customers closer to culinary experiences that reach the depths of their soul, led by the world’s best chefs.

The implementation of the DAP (Public Access Defibrillation) program by Venemergencia was recently announced, which motivated us at the El Sumario Digital Communication Group to obtain more information and offer it through our media.

It should be remembered that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Cardiac arrest is the main complication of these diseases, which without immediate treatment with cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation leads to death. The chances of survival decrease 10% for every minute that care is delayed, Venemergencia explained.

– With this program, any person, even without complex or sophisticated professional training, can successfully act as a first responder in their community in situations such as those mentioned; which multiplies by thousands the probability of timely and effectively attending to this type and type of medical emergencies.

We made contact and spoke with Andrea Galarraga, director of Sustainability at Venemergencia, who kindly provided us with information and commented on the value that the Group’s operations assign to the management of innovation, hand in hand with sustainability, as fundamental and convenient as education.

As part of the articulation of an ecosystem that maximizes access to health for all inhabitants and passers-by of the municipality, the Mayor’s Office of Chacao and the Venemergencia Foundation make history with the launch of the Public Access Defibrillation program (DAP), which makes Chacao the first cardioprotected municipality in the country.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Cardiac arrest is the main complication of these diseases, which without immediate treatment, with cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation, leads to death. The chances of survival decrease 10% for every minute that care is delayed.

With the Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) program, anyone, even without professional training, will be able to successfully act as a first responder in their community in situations like this; which multiplies by thousands the probability of timely and effectively addressing medical emergencies.

“By becoming the first cardioprotected municipality in the country, we are once again a reference for the Venezuela we long for. The Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) will be in the main squares and public spaces as a new element to improve the safety and health of all residents,” said Gustavo Duque, mayor of the Chacao municipality.

As a non-profit organization that works on the creation and implementation of community development programs, to promote access to health through education, the Fundación Venemergencia celebrates its 13th anniversary with the launch of this program.

“Thanks to this alliance we are equipping the municipality with Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) and training residents with basic life support training to radically transform citizens’ relationship with pre-hospital health and, above all, with their role within the chain of survival. We want to expand this alliance throughout the country,” said Dr. Andrés Simón González-Silén, president of Venemergencia.

For his part, Dr. Luis Enrique Velásquez, executive director of Venemergencia, said that the DAP, being supported by an educational organization such as the Venemergencia Foundation, will generate the capabilities within the community to effectively address the first stages of cardiovascular emergencies. . “Our goal is to provide access to the equipment and training necessary to guarantee the articulation of people and elements that maximize the probability of successful outcomes, in the face of a medical emergency recognized as the main cause of death in the world.”

To ensure that the entire Chacao community can be part of this initiative, the Fundación Venemergencia and Salud Chacao will measure cardiovascular risk, monitor special cases, and disseminate health information through the Mobile Clinic’s traveling doctors program, they will support the formation of Neighborhood Health Brigades as first responders to any pre-hospital medical emergency and will work to coordinate the movement of neighbors, students, businessmen and volunteer merchants to promote the proper functioning of the program.

In order to strengthen alliances, increase value chains and provide growth in business volume to the financial institution, with a direct focus on companies, Bancamiga opened its Centro de Negocios this Tuesday at the Chacao agency.

The executive president, Ariel José Martínez, pointed out that Bancamiga opened its Business Center in the space located on the first floor of these headquarters, which will allow the growth of the bank, one of the main institutions in the financial system, to be promoted.

“This is an arm of the bank to further project its image and services. With the Bancamiga Business Center we seek to link even more with medium and large companies, corporate and transnational clients. We are well aligned to start diversifying the composition of the portfolio, with high-profile alliances. And in that the specialization of banking is key”.

In the Bancamiga Business Center, customers will have service, proposals and products according to their needs and expectations. There will be greater segmentation of customers.

Ariel José Martínez referred to the importance of diversification and specialization, which is why it is essential to have, as is our case, a human team and preparation directed “towards the high segments, so that they know our portfolio and see Bancamiga as a bank that can offer what a large company needs.”

The presence of the Bancamiga Business Center will gradually extend inland. It already has personnel in Valencia, Puerto La Cruz and in the newly opened El Tigre agency, in Anzoátegui state, it was explained.

Art, finance, Bancamiga and Mastercard come together

One of the attractions of the Bancamiga Business Center is that it has made it possible to unite art with finance, led by the visual artist and photographer María Fernanda Lairet, under a concept she called Global Narratives.

In the 16-meter work, he used a continuous dialogue where he integrated the five offices on the floor. He made subjective compositions on unreal spaces with the circles of Mastercard and played with the Bancamiga logo “uniting the energy and identity of the color palettes of both entities”.

“It also integrated paper money and presented a dialogue of different pieces. There are the bolívar and the stars of the Venezuelan flag, the dollar, the plot of the euros and the Swiss francs, which have a spectacular design and balances. In the work it seems that the logo flies and is integrated at the end with the Mastercard circles, creating a beautiful block. There is a virtual line that goes through the entire composition.”

The intervention of the Bancamiga Business Center, which was carried out in partnership with Mastercard, is one of the most important works in Lairet’s career, with more than 30 years in the world of the arts, where he has exhibited at the International Biennial of Miami, Museum of Contemporary Art of Caracas, Shanghai Latin-American Art Pavilion & The International Wing, Miami Dade College and at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, among others.

The process of creating Global Narratives for Bancamiga began in December and was finalized in March. In the period eight projects were presented, “and one night I managed to find perfection. I am a night owl and night after night the ideas appeared and fit together. Everything was wonderful,” he shared.

“I am happy to do this work,” said the artist, who has also intervened in the Silicon Valley airport in Denver (Colorado) and was the leader in planning an intervention with a mural, as part of the celebration of International Women’s Day. Peace, in Las Mercedes, Caracas.

Father Gerardino Barracchini, episcopal vicar for the cause of Saints and current vice postulator for the canonization of Blessed Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, was in charge of blessing the new spaces and offered heartfelt words of prayer and reflection to all those present.

The commitment to innovation promoted by Bancamiga is not only seen in its products and services. A new concept was shown to the country this Tuesday when it inaugurated its Associated Box Office Centro Lido integrated into the Café Work Center, with which the institution reaffirms that “Bancamiga is not just a bank, it is a lifestyle.”

From now on, customers will have a new space in Caracas that brings together a bank and a cafeteria, which will allow them to do business in a different way, interacting with men and women who are committed to entrepreneurship and the need to progress.

The office will have state-of-the-art technological infrastructure and will be located on Francisco de Miranda Avenue, El Rosal urbanization, Lido shopping center, Ground Floor, Chacao municipality.

Bancamiga is not just a bank, it is a lifestyle

At the Associated Ticket Office Centro Lido, customers will be able to get closer and learn about the institution’s products and services, which are based on innovation and self-management, but they will also have the opportunity to work and ensure that their ideas multiply and consolidate in a different environment; highlights the statement of the banking institution.

This space joins the Altamira, La Castellana, Chacao, Propatria, Sabana Grande, Cementerio, Palo Verde, Parque Humboldt, La Rinconada and Ibarras agencies in Caracas.

As in 2021, the bank expects to maintain its growth in 2022, which, in addition to generating new jobs, contributes to the development of Venezuela and to the fact that citizens have greater financial facilities.

Last year, Bancamiga opened five agencies: La Rinconada, in Caracas; Rattan Porlamar (Nueva Esparta state), Llano Mall (Acarigua, Portuguesa state), Guanare (Portuguesa) and Maracaibo, in the Bulevar Delicias shopping center, in Zulia state.
