This action is possible after the agreement between the Free Trade Zone, the Campo de Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce and the Incyde Foundation.
In its last meeting, held this Friday, the Executive Committee of the Free Zone of Cádiz has authorized the awarding to the company San José Constructora of the construction works of 14 industrial warehouses located in the Business and Technology Park of the Marismas de Palmones, in Los Barrios, intended for entrepreneurs in the sector.
This action is carried out thanks to the collaboration agreement signed in February by the Cádiz Free Trade Zone Consortium, the Campo de Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce, and the INCYDE Foundation (Camera Institute for Business Creation and Development) of the chambers of commerce.
This work, which was put out to tender in April and for which nine companies have submitted offers, has an award amount of 1,511,061.04 euros (VAT not included), although the total investment is 2.8 million euros, eighty percent contributed by the European Regional Development Fund through the INCYDE Foundation and the remaining twenty percent, by the Cádiz Free Zone Consortium.
The set of warehouses will be located on plot T3-2 of the Marismas de Palmones Business and Technology Park, in Los Barrios, which has an area of 3,795 m2, and will consist of 14 industrial warehouses of 240 m2 intended for entrepreneurs in the sector and that will have a 35 m2 mezzanine.
The agreement establishes that the property will remain in the hands of the Cádiz Free Zone Consortium, while its management and administration will be developed jointly with the INCYDE Foundation and the collaboration of the Chamber of Commerce, an entity that will work on the revitalization of the incubator and the dissemination of its services, all within the deadlines designated by FEDER.
A commission, made up of these three entities, will be in charge of selecting the applicants who wish to settle in the business incubator. This selection will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines set by the FEDER Operational program through the instructions of the INCYDE Foundation.
Zona Franca already has experience in this type of projects. In Ubrique, the construction work of the 10 warehouses that will make up the business incubator of this municipality is already being carried out and which was also born after the signing of the agreement between the Consortium, the Chamber of Commerce of Cádiz and the Incyde Foundation. Sando is the company in charge of the work, which began in March, and the award amount of 798,133.77 euros, also co-financed by funds requested within the Framework of the FEDER Operational Program of Andalusia 2007-2013.
