Grants for Attracting Companies to Galicia 2026

The Xunta de Galicia, through the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (IGAPE), is launching the Grants for Attracting Companies to Galicia, co‑funded by the European Union under the Galicia Feder Programme 2021‑2027. 

This is a tool designed to financially support business investment projects, especially those promoted by small and medium‑sized enterprises, with the aim of fostering sustainable growth, strengthening competitiveness, and supporting the creation and maintenance of stable employment in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. 

The call is structured into two main lines of action, allowing projects of different scales and needs to be supported:

• Business investment projects (mode I.1), with eligible investment between €800,000 and €10,000,000, aimed at the creation of new establishments, capacity expansions, diversification into new products, or substantial transformations in production processes.
• Projects with investment equal to or greater than €100,000 (mode I.2), provided they generate 25 or more full‑time permanent jobs directly linked to the investment. This line is particularly geared towards promoting the establishment of new activities with a high employment impact.

For both lines, the aid consists of applying a subsidy percentage to the eligible investment or, where applicable, to the wage costs of up to 24 months for the new jobs to be created under mode I.2. 

The aid percentages range from 35% for small enterprises to 25% for medium‑sized enterprises, with reduced percentages (20% and 10%, respectively) in sectors such as coal, steel, ferroalloys, or transport and related infrastructure.

Eligible investments cover a wide range of tangible fixed‑asset costs, such as civil works, machinery, technical installations, equipment, furniture, or transport elements, as well as intangible investments, including industrial property and software applications. In all cases, the investments must be directly and unequivocally related to the project’s typology and to its economic impact. 

The execution period of the project runs from the date of submission of the application until the deadline established in the grant award resolution, without exceeding the final date set out in the call. This allows companies to adapt the implementation pace to the size and complexity of the project, ensuring compliance with the committed investment and employment milestones.
