The Generalitat, Catalonia's regional government, presented its new Pacte Nacional per a la Indústria 2026–2030 in Puigcerdà on Wednesday, with a total planned investment of €5 billion and more than 190 measures aimed at strengthening industry and spreading economic growth across the territory.

For businesses and workers in Cerdanya, the plan matters because it sets the framework for public industrial support over the next five years, including measures tied to competitiveness, productivity and local economic development. Companies and residents who want to check the full pact text can consult the official Pacte Industrial portal.

The presentation in Puigcerdà was led by the Govern, according to local reporting by Regió 7, after the pact had been developed through talks with business groups and trade unions. Earlier Generalitat material on the same pact had referred to an initial working document worth nearly €4.4 billion and 166 measures, before the final package rose to €5 billion and more than 190 actions.

From a €4.4 billion draft to a €5 billion pact

The Generalitat first announced the start of work on the 2026–2030 pact in a note published through its press office. It later said a first working document provided for nearly €4.4 billion of investment across 166 measures to reinforce productivity and competitiveness in Catalonia's industrial sector.

The final version presented this week increases both the budget and the number of actions. According to the official Pacte Industrial portal, the new pact will mobilise up to €5 billion to transform Catalan industry.

Business groups and unions have signed on

The pact has backing from employers' organisations and trade unions. Foment del Treball Nacional, one of Catalonia's main business associations, said it had signed the 2026–2030 pact to reinforce the competitiveness of Catalonia's productive fabric.

That agreement is central to how the plan will be delivered, because the pact is designed as a shared framework between the public sector, employers and unions rather than a standalone announcement. The Generalitat's earlier statements described it as a tool to strengthen productivity and competitiveness across industry in Catalonia.

For firms in Puigcerdà and the wider Cerdanya area, the immediate next step is to review the measures published through the official pact channels and check which lines of support, investment or industrial modernisation programmes apply to their sector.
