The Government of Aragon, through the Aragon Institute for Development (IAF), has launched €400,000 in grants for small and medium-sized enterprises to support their positioning and promotion in the defense, security and dual-use technology industries. The call, published in the Official Gazette of Aragon, provides subsidies of between €5,000 and €30,000 per company and is aimed at SMEs in sectors including manufacturing, telecommunications, computer programming, consulting, and certain healthcare and social services activities.

CEOE Aragón and the Valencian Community Business Confederation (CEV) have jointly submitted objections to the Information Study for the Cantabrian-Mediterranean Railway Corridor, covering the Sagunto-Teruel section, which the Ministry of Transport has opened for public consultation. Both confederations are calling for the current document to be withdrawn and for electrified double track to be included as the reference option.
The Spanish government says its data center decree aims to manage growth and prevent expansion from causing energy supply, water consumption or social acceptance problems. In Aragon, 3.6 gigawatts of access to the electricity grid have already been granted—triple the region’s electricity demand—although, as Economy Minister Eva Valle noted on Friday, the region produces more than twice the electricity it uses.
