ACCIÓ

ACCIÓ is the Catalan Government's agency for business competitiveness. Belonging to the Ministry of Business and Labour, it is the public facing organisation working to contribute to the transformation of Catalan companies. It has a network of 40 offices worldwide, 7 regional offices in Catalonia, and collaborates with public and private institutions in building tomorrow's company, today. ACCIÓ works so that enterprise can identify the changes in its environment, take advantage of them and transform, enhancing everything that can set it apart and enhance competitiveness. This differentiation occurs primarily through the key combination for business competitiveness: innovation + internationalization. We are driven by three main goals: to increase the productivity of Catalan companies, to accompany them in their transformation and global positioning challenges, and, finally, to strengthen the attractiveness of Catalonia as a destination for high-value foreign investment. These goals are designed to have a positive impact on economic growth and job creation.
