Barcelona City Council has opened applications for its Crea Feina grants, with funding available to help companies hire research staff in Barcelona. The scheme is designed to support research profiles and strengthen the city’s scientific and technological sector.
The grants are intended to encourage businesses to invest in research and development by making it easier to bring in skilled professionals. The council says the programme should support both established companies and start-ups that want to expand their innovation capacity.
This forms part of Barcelona’s wider strategy to position the city as a leading European hub for science and technology. By subsidising research jobs, the council hopes to increase the number of high-quality roles in the scientific field.
Officials say attracting and keeping research talent is important for economic growth and competitiveness. The programme is open to a range of businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises to larger companies, as long as they are based in Barcelona and meet the hiring criteria.
