Location data Located in the heart of Catalonia and just 150 km from the French border, it is ranked among the ten major metropolitan areas in the European Union with 4.3 million inhabitants. It is one of the most attractive destinations for investment in Catalonia owing to its excellent geographic location, developed transport and communication infrastructure, optimal cost-performance, prestigious third-level education and world renowned quality of life. The economy, traditionally based on industry (metallurgy, automotive, electronics, chemistry & pharmacy and food) has recently moved towards the services sector, especially in activities such as R&D centres, design centres and added-value shared services centres. Likewise, this area has become the logistics hub for Southern Europe as it certainly enjoys unique conditions: 2,100 ha of land for logistics use, a first-class airport and port, several rail cargo terminals, an extensive network of highways and freeways, and top-level telecommunications. |
