The deputy delegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, participated this morning in the second day of the III Spanish Economic Forum “The Galicia that comes”, highlighting the importance of the implementation of the Government of the Recovery Plan Transformation and Resilience, and the positive impact that this has on the issues that are addressed today in this forum: the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, green industry and circular economy.
The subdelegate showed in her speech that Galicia is the sixth community that has received the most funds from the Recovery Plan, specifically 3.8 billion in just 3 years; the one that has allowed support to many small and medium-sized enterprises, reaching more than 42,000 beneficiaries.
In the Recovery Plan it has a specific PERTE of Circular Economy, which leaves in Galicia already more than 15 million euros and which now also opens up a strategic sector for our community as the textile sector.
Another of the Government’s commitments is the rehabilitation of the housing stock and the construction with the aim of using it primarily to increase social rent always under the criteria of greater energy efficiency, promoting a sector that must have among its ambitions to be increasingly sustainable.
Rivas, also touched on another of today’s topics: Cybersecurity. A field in which the Government acts through the Incibe and various campaigns to raise awareness among vulnerable groups.
The subdelegate referred to the medicine of the future, which has a specific program in Galicia, the Complementary Plan of Biotechnology Applied to Health financed with funds of the Recovery Plan; the strength of the Galician audiovisual that will have in the city of ICT with the largest virtual audiovisual study in Spain also cofinanced through Recovery funds; and artificial intelligence, remembering that the State Agency for Supervision of Artificial Intelligence, which we already know as the AESIA, will have its headquarters in A Coruña.
