Catalonia Trade & Investment

Catalonia has solidified its technological strength, boasting a digitization index of 63.96%, nearly 12 points higher than the EU average and 1.6 points above its 2021 standing.

Harvard University has published a case study that shows how clusters have had a "decisive" positive impact on Catalan companies, and that Catalonia is one of the most developed regions in Europe in this area.

The company serves various sectors, such as consumer electronics, mobile phones, and automotive, for companies such as SAMSUNG, LG, KIA Motors, Continental, and INTEL, among others.

According to ACCIÓ-Catalonia Trade & Investment, companies from the United States, France, and the United Kingdom stand out in ICT, electronics, audiovisual, health products, and R&D sectors.

The Saudi Arabian company, which develops mobile video games, considers the Catalan capital "the perfect place" to attract talent.

These schools are IESE Business School, ESADE, and EADA, with IESE ranking in 3rd place, ESADE in 12th place, and EADA in 30th place.

Both Catalan startups have been recognized by the Innovation Radar Prize 2023, organized by the EC and the Dealflow.eu platform, aimed at identifying high-potential innovative projects.

With a budget of 498 million euros, this project is part of the Trade Fair Infrastructure Plan and is expected to be completed in 2026.

The project, called RETRIEVE, will last 3.5 years and will demonstrate the efficiency of using different technologies to recycle components such as glass, silicon, silver, polymers, or heavy metals to produce photovoltaic panels.
