The year 2025 will be decisive for the development of Galician companies, thanks to a set of funding measures and programs aimed at boosting their growth and consolidation in an increasingly competitive market. The Xunta de Galicia is actively working to energize the business fabric, especially in key areas such as innovation and competitiveness, through a combination of public aid, direct loans, and the arrival of private investors.
One of the main resources available to Galician companies is public aid, offered by the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (IGAPE). These programs are designed to support companies of different sizes and sectors, aiming to improve their competitiveness and foster innovation. The aid is aimed at supporting small, medium, and large companies in the region, so they can face the challenges of the global market.
Direct loans are one of the most important forms of financing. The Xunta offers different types of loans adapted to business needs, such as those aimed at strategic investment, which finance new infrastructure or the expansion of productive capacity. This type of support allows companies to modernize and grow. There are also loans for business consolidation, supporting succession processes or the acquisition of production units, and loans for technological innovation projects, helping companies to develop new products or processes.
The Xunta also offers grants for business investment projects, designed to support large-scale projects, such as expansions or new investments.
In the social economy, the Xunta has launched the Social Economy Consolidation Voucher, to support digital transformation, improved energy efficiency, and competitiveness of cooperatives and other social enterprises. The application period is from February to April 2025.
Despite public aid, the arrival of private investors is also proving crucial to Galicia’s economic development. The region is becoming an attractive destination for private capital, especially in sectors such as science, technology, and innovation. Galicia is home to prestigious educational and research centers, which facilitates the arrival of investment, particularly in the health, finance, and mobility sectors.
The Network of Entrepreneurship Hubs is also playing a key role in promoting entrepreneurship. With 15 centers throughout Galicia, this network helps new businesses establish and grow, providing resources and support, especially in sectors such as technology and innovation.
In summary, 2025 will be a year full of opportunities for Galician companies, which have various public and private tools to improve their competitiveness and face the challenges of a globalized market. The Xunta de Galicia is creating a favorable environment for innovation and entrepreneurship, and Galician companies are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and make a qualitative leap in their development.
