Galicia industrial and technological development

Overview

Galicia is being positioned as a center for innovation and strategic manufacturing. During business and mining forums, experts highlighted the region’s potential to address challenges regarding technological sovereignty and the secure supply of critical minerals necessary for electrification.

To support these strategic goals, the Xunta de Galicia has launched a 6 million euro funding initiative specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the security, defense, and aerospace sectors. This program aims to promote dual-use manufacturing—goods compatible with both civil and defense applications—as part of a broader strategic initiative to mobilize significant public-private investment by 2030.
