It is precisely these two challenges that should guide the policies of the coming years through the Next Generation EU Funds. Since the opening of the Next Generation EU Office of ACCIÓ at the end of 2021, almost 2,000 Catalonian companies have sought advice to access their calls.
In terms of attracting foreign investment, 112 projects materialised in 2023, mobilising 880 million euros and contributing to the creation of 4,500 new jobs. As regards impact, 245 euros were attracted for every public euro in the budget.
Finally, another of the mechanisms that ACCIÓ makes available to companies to improve their competitiveness are clusters. At present, the Catalunya Clústers programme boasts 27 associated clusters, groups 2,900 companies and has a combined turnover of 80 billion euros. The cluster policy in Catalonia has also been recognized by Harvard Business School for its decisive positive impact on Catalan companies.
