The Consortium is developing a new industrial strategy around the blue economy, sustainability and commitment to the environment
The Cádiz Free Zone is reinventing itself as a model of sustainable industry and is developing a new way of doing industry based on sustainability and commitment to the environment and linked to projects within the framework of the green and blue economies.
The Cádiz Consortium has made a 180-degree turn in its way of promoting productive spaces and the development of projects in the province of Cádiz and in the capital of Cádiz, as an embryo and nerve center, it has begun to work on modern and effective infrastructures, both in the outer polygon and in the tax area.
In this way, we are working to configure a modern, self-sufficient, innovative industrial area committed to the future of the city, which attracts companies that grow and consolidate from the parameters of generating a respectful and less polluting economic activity, based on the economy. circular and that in turn generates new business opportunities for future generations.
One of the references of this new industry model is Incubazul, the high-tech incubator linked to the blue economy subsidized with Feder Funds that will house Zona Base, the innovation and technological expansion center that is being built in the old Ibérica Aga in the industrial estate. outside the Free Zone.
Base Zone will be an example to follow and a new way of doing and living the workplace, which from the heart of the industrial zone of Cádiz will be projected to the rest of the city. The original and innovative design of the building is an example of sustainability since the equipment will be made up of recycled shipping containers.
Another important point of the Consortium's sustainable strategy is the alliance with Navantia to promote sustainable industry in the Bay of Cádiz. A working group with technicians from both entities is creating synergies and conditions to attract companies linked to green energy, a sector in which Navantia already has an international position thanks to its latest offshore wind contracts.
The Free Trade Zone has also launched a Comprehensive Improvement Plan for the tax area, which is optimizing the facilities, modernizing them and adapting them to sustainability criteria, with the aim of offering quality equipment to operators and ranging from the modernization of infrastructure , to changes in mobility, the implementation of clean energy and the installation of electric charging stations for customers and employees.
Another important milestone is the project to install solar panels on the roofs of industrial equipment for self-consumption, with the consequent economic savings and care for the environment.
Likewise, the Cádiz Free Zone is launching a new way of understanding productive spaces in the rest of its facilities throughout the province, projecting these criteria of sustainability and respect for the environment on them as well. Thus, it is carrying out a powerful improvement and adaptation of its spaces to offer facilities that respond to the needs of potential investors.
All of these actions are part of a new industrial model that is more committed and responsible to the environment, which is fully in line with the objective for which the Cádiz Free Trade Zone was created more than nine decades ago: the promotion of economic activity in its area of influence, creating optimal conditions so that companies have everything necessary to start their activity, grow and consolidate within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals.
