Strategic Plan for Science and Innovation 2024-2027
Barcelona reinforces its commitment to science with the Strategic Plan for Science and Innovation for the period from 2024 to 2027, which incorporates knowledge transfer as a driving force of the economy.
The aspiration of the city of Barcelona is to establish itself as the scientific capital of Spain and one of the main scientific capitals of Europe. It is also committed to a strategy to boost the city based on knowledge transfer and innovation as the backbone of sustainable growth, the diversification of the economy and the internationalization of the city. For this reason, the plan is born with the commitment and priority objective of ensuring that all the scientific and technological capacity concentrated in Barcelona translates into tangible improvements for social welfare, sustainability and ecological transition, thanks to the transfer of this knowledge of excellence to companies, institutions and the social fabric.
The plan also sets as future objectives to advance towards climate neutrality, to expand and promote the participation of women in the scientific and technological field, and to contribute to public governance based on the technological humanism of artificial intelligence.
In terms of sectors, Barcelona aspires to be decisive in the design and production of electronic and photonic chips, to consolidate its position as the capital of biotechnology and health sciences, especially in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia, and also to be one of the European capitals in the creation and use of digital and quantum technologies.
