To incorporate green innovation into the traditional industrial fabric by producing pharmaceutical and textile products, among others, for the European market and by spearheading part of the environmentally-responsible global industry

The shifting of industrial production from Europe to Asia or North Africa has reduced production costs and delivered lower consumer prices over recent decades. However, combating climate change means we must reduce our environmental impact in every respect, and this gives Catalonia the opportunity to recover part of its industrial production by making use of more productive and environmentally friendly technologies. Indeed, the Green New Deal promoted by European funds paves the way to embarking on a competitive industrial policy with a forward-looking perspective linked to the production of pharmaceutical and textile products, among others, aimed at the European market without environmental dumping. We benefit from the infrastructure, the knowledge, the expertise and the historical opportunity to achieve this. One proposal, thus, is to develop a renewed Catalan industry that produces a range of labelled products with environmental guarantees, acting as a pioneer for a sector of the global industry that is responsible to the planet.
