In September 2026, stakeholders and experts in the Canary Islands salt industry convened a three-day conference in Lanzarote. The meeting focused on the future of the archipelago’s traditional salt pans, addressing the modernization of production methods, industry regulation, and the commercial viability of the region’s six active salt works.

By October 2026, development efforts on the island expanded into the digital sector. Utilizing the Canary Islands Development Funds (FDCAN), Lanzarote mobilized 19.5 million euros for 19 specific actions. This investment aims to enhance digital public services, connectivity, the digital economy, and research and development as part of a broader regional strategy to increase competitiveness.
