First, the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Energy launched ‘Circular Canarias’, a digital platform intended to centralize information for the archipelago’s circular economy strategy. The platform provides resources and action plans for public administrations, businesses, and citizens to support the Circular Economy Strategy 2021-2030 and the Circular Economy Action Plan 2024-2026. Following this, the government launched the ‘Employment Accelerator’, a three-million-euro pilot project designed to create up to 170 jobs. This initiative focuses on bridging the gap between corporate hiring needs and professional training by using specific vacancies to define required profiles. The program targets five strategic sectors: the blue economy, cybersecurity, the agri-food industry, water and energy, and artisanal trades. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-11: Canary Islands launches employment accelerator to create 170 jobs The Canary Islands is investing €3 million in an 'Employment Accelerator' pilot project to create 170 jobs by aligning vocational training directly with the specific hiring needs of strategic industries. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/canary-islands-launches-employment-accelerator-to-create-170-jobs ### 2026-09-10: Canary Islands launches Circular Canarias digital platform The Canary Islands launched the ‘Circular Canarias’ platform to promote circular economy strategies, amid global reports showing €25.4 billion in annual economic losses due to resource inefficiency. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/canary-islands-launches-circular-canarias-digital-platform --- Cite as: Canary Islands economic and sustainability initiatives.
