The Industrial Cities network
The 'Industrial Cities' initiative seeks to establish a framework for collaboration between public administrations and the business fabric with the aim of strengthening infrastructures, modernizing industrial areas and promoting the sustainability and digitalization of the productive sectors.
This network, promoted by the Junta de Andalucía, aims to carry out measures that favor and promote the creation and establishment of manufacturing and industrial services companies in Andalusia, involving local administrations. The adhered City Councils, which are more than a hundred, depending on each case, will apply tax bonuses to the industries that are implanted in their city, will contribute to the streamlining of administrative procedures and will accompany investors and industrial promoters in the administrative processing of files of their competence.
