Investment aid and incentives in Spain

With the aim of promoting investment, employment, competitiveness and economic growth, the Spanish State and all other public authorities have been developing a broad range of aid instruments and incentives specially targeted at boosting indefinite term employment, regional investment and research, development and technological innovation (R&D and TI).

Furthermore, since Spain is an EU Member State, potential investors are also able to access European aid programs, which provide further incentives for investing in Spain. In this regard, it is also worth noting the particular impact that the “Next Generation EU” Program is achieving as a special funding mechanism aimed at helping the Member States recover from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, of which Spain will be one of the main recipients. .

Against this backdrop and as part of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (and its forthcoming Addendum), major public reforms and investments are being undertaken in Spain to accomplish the so-called green and digital transition, strengthen social and territorial cohesion, promote gender equality, and boost private investment with the aim of contributing to the transformation of the current production model into a more resilient and inclusive structure that is better prepared to tackle future crises.
