The event that took place on February 6th at the headquarters of ‘Confederación de Empresarios Andaluces’, was attended by the President of the CEA, Mr. Javier González de Lara, and the Councilor for University, Research and Innovation of Junta de Andalucía, Mr. José Carlos Gómez Villamandos.
According to data from the report prepared by the PwC consulting company on the impact of CTA on the R&D ecosystem and the Andalusian economy, the new products and services developed in the projects financed by the corporation, both in their development phase and in their marketing, have contributed 1,500 million to GDP between 2006 and 2021 and 31,000 jobs in the same period.
The report also indicates that the 176 CTA member companies account for 3.6% of the national GDP and 1.5% of employment in Spain -almost 300,000 jobs-, while in Andalusia -taking into account only the member companies with headquarters in this community- account for 1.8% of regional GDP and 1.5% of employment. In addition, the companies in the CTA cluster almost triple the average productivity of work in Spain.
The impact of CTA occurs in sectors with higher productivity and salary rates, which contributes to reinforce a more solid productive network in Andalusia.
