The Barcelona we want

Diversified and innovative economy

Economia diversificada i innovadora

Barcelona is a cherished and much-visited city, but it can’t live from tourism alone. We are a city of commerce, talent, scientific and cultural capital, and we’re Europe’s second most attractive city for the tech sector.

Through its commitment to diversify and innovate, the city is leading the economic recovery and has the best figures for reducing unemployment in the Spanish state, with more permanent job contracts than ever.

We’re driving a social, digital and green transition, backing innovation and the creation of quality jobs, improving people’s lives.
