Aragón Exterior

The Ebro river valley is one of the main industrial centers in Spain. It is home to industries from all sectors: Construction Machinery, Agricultural Machinery, Paper, Iron and Steel, Electronics Industry, Chemical Industry and Food and Agriculture Industry.

Its strategic location and qualified labor have created a network of small and medium sized enterprises that have fostered the industrial energy of Aragón.

Aragón offers:

• Average economic growth rates of 3.8% over the last 4 years, above the Spanish average and nearly double the European average. Forecast of 4.4% in 2007.
• Flexible labor market: little conflict and competitive salaries.
• Large open spaces for big industrial projects: the low population density means there are large expanses of land that can house large-scale industrial projects.
• Wide availability of urbanized industrial land: public and private initiatives have set up industrial parks with all the services ready for the installation of any type of business.
• Saragossa Fair: Internationally renowned meeting places; for example the FIMA Shows in the agricultural machinery sector and the SMOPYC for construction machinery.
• Lines of incentives of up to 15% of investments.
