Santiago de Compostela, 10 November 2026
The Director of Igape, Covadonga Toca, and the Managing Director of Xestur, Diego Toja, today took part in the Forum on Industrial Land in Galicia, organised by the Santiago Financial Club. They highlighted the importance of readily available industrial land and efficient public administration in strengthening Galicia’s ability to attract new investment and support the growth of businesses already established in the region.
In her address, Toca Carús stressed that land for business development is a key driver of competitiveness and economic development, particularly in supporting major projects capable of generating employment and stimulating economic activity in the surrounding areas. She highlighted Galicia’s strengths as an investment destination, including its established industrial base, competitive strategic sectors, international outlook and Atlantic location, which facilitates connections with key markets.
Toca Carús called for collaboration between the various public authorities and organisations responsible for developing land for business use to match the available supply with businesses’ needs. She reaffirmed the Galician Government’s commitment to continuing to work closely with businesses to turn investment opportunities into new projects, economic activity and jobs for Galicia.
For his part, Xestur’s Managing Director, Diego Toja, highlighted the results of this year’s public tender process and outlined new developments aimed at increasing the supply of land for business use. These include the expansion works in Lalín, which are currently under way; the new business park in Ribeira; the strategic development at Mandiá, in Ferrol; and the recent initial approval of the expansion of A Sionlla, in Santiago.
Finally, he stressed that Xestur’s aim is not simply to bring more land for business use onto the market, but to ensure that it translates into new industrial projects, investment and jobs.
