The Government delegate in Galicia, Pedro Blanco, highlighted the role of the Business Park of Agrela in the transformation of the city of A Coruña when it is 60 years since its creation, and also the commitment of the Government with the companies and entrepreneurship of the city. He did so during the gala celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Association of Entrepreneurs of Agrela, “a business success that fills all Galicians and Galicians with pride,” he said.
The delegate, who was accompanied by the subdelegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, recalled the more than 500 companies and the 20,000 jobs that this business park houses, “which is no longer only a reference industrial center, with top-level firms such as Estrella Galicia or Vegalsa, but is increasingly united this city and the people of Coruña, who walk through it and enjoy an offer of services that went further in recent years.”
The delegate, who had words of thanks for Manuel Aurelio García Santamaría, historical leader of Ipasa, honorary president of the association and honored in this event, said that the anniversary serves to look back and see what has been achieved in this time, but also to claim that this project “is more alive than ever thanks to entrepreneurs”.
Pedro Blanco indicated that all companies have in the Government of Spain their best ally to modernise, grow and move towards a more ecological and sustainable model with the help of PERTE or initiatives such as the Digital Kit. Also to provide them with services and infrastructures. An example of this is the government’s commitment to the Atlantic freight corridor, with more than 700 million euros in execution, half of the total investment.
“Agrela is an example of the transformation that A Coruña experienced in these 50 years, a time in which the Government promoted the growth of companies, promoted the creation of new jobs and helped modernize the industry,” added the delegate, who said that the Government will continue to be there to help the companies prosper and that the Agrela polygon “remains the beacon that marks the growth of this city.”
