• Barcelona has easy access to very dynamic large markets: the EU common market, which provides access to 510 million people. In addition, it forms part of the axis of the Mediterranean corridor, a Trans-European Network for transporting goods with a direct impact on an area of 250 million inhabitants (50% of the EU population), so improving this connection would be a strategic opportunity to increase the market share of the port traffic of goods coming from Asia. It also offers the strategic potential of relations with the 43 countries that form the Union for the Mediterranean, which include the territories of those in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

A territory with a powerful industrial base

• In 2017, industry generated 21.4% of the Gross Added Value in Catalonia, a weight that exceeds that reached by the European Union (19.6%) and, more clearly, by Spain (18.1%), being the autonomous community with the highest industrial development in the Spanish State.

• In 2017, Catalonia was ranked as the fourth European region for jobs in manufacturing that involve medium-high to medium-high technology intensity, with 230,000 people working in these activities, exceeding the records of regions such as Piemont (Turin), Rhône-Alpes (Lyon) and Darmstadt (Frankfurt). In the same year, it was also ranked the fourth region in the continent for female employment in these activities.

• Barcelona has an important industrial sector and the metropolitan area - with 14% of the working population employed in industry- is home to more than half (60%) of this employment in Catalonia. Key areas include the chemicals and pharmaceutical clusters, the automobile cluster - one of the main producers in Europe -, food production, paper and graphic arts, and waste treatment.

• Barcelona and its area are working to develop industry 4.0 using elements such as the Big Data impetus, the rising number of companies and organisations in initiatives related to 3D printing and the work of Fab Labs to introduce digital manufacturing to schools, companies, entrepreneurs and community projects. In 2017, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area had over 400,000 jobs in activities potentially associated with industry 4.0, after creating more than 27,000 jobs in these areas since 2010, which represents an accumulated percentage increase of +7,3%.

Commitment to digital technology and ICTs

• The city, with over 54,000 jobs and more than 2,700 companies with staff working in ICTs, is the heart of the sector in Catalonia. 55% of employment in the territory and 45.9% of its business community is concentrated in the city. It is estimated that in 2017 the information and communications sector, which encompasses ICTs, generated 8.1% of Gross Added Value in Barcelona.

• According to the Networked Society City Index 2016

report, Barcelona is ranked amongst the fifteen top cities in the world in terms of its levels of digital equipment, technological maturity, social cohesion and institutions focused on the goal of sustainable development.

Towards the transformation of the

productive model

• The city of Barcelona is advancing towards a plural, innovative and socially inclusive economic model, based on sustainability in all aspects: economic, social and environmental. With this goal in mind, and the leadership of Barcelona Activa, the strategy for economic promotion during the 2016-2019 term of office prioritises the impetus of seven strategic sectors which form the backbone of the entire municipal policy and the transformation of the productive model:

Diversified

economic activity

Industry accounts for

of total GVA in Catalonia

(14)

15

the manufacturing industry, the digital economy, creative sectors, the green and circular economy, mobility, health and bio and, as an element that cuts across them all, the social and solidarity economy. • The city is working towards an economic model that is

efficient in the use of its resources and with innovation capacity based on the promotion of

the green and circular economy, which in 2017

represented 3.5% of employment and experienced growth in the number of jobs (approximately +4%) that was higher than in the city’s overall economy (+2,5%).

• In the fourth quarter of 2017 there were over 90,000 jobs and 3,090 companies with employees in the

health and bio sector in Barcelona, representing 8.5%

and 4.1%, respectively, of the city’s total. This sector features various different, yet related components: 75% of jobs in the sector are concentrated in health activities, while those linked to health-related social services account for 15.7% of employment and the pharmaceutical industry is close to 10%.

• The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry

constitutes a dynamic cluster with a remarkable capacity for research and innovation. Catalonia holds 27% of the biotech companies in Spain, leads in investment in biotechnology R&D and has 15 university hospitals, 9 research institutes and 6,000 researchers in this field.

• Barcelona has a strong presence in the social and

solidarity economy - with people and groups at the

centre of the activity -, which include the Third Social Sector (50.9%), workers’ owned companies (25.4%), cooperatives (18.2%) and community economies (5.5%) offering a great capacity for social innovation.

• Since 2014, 193 cooperatives have been set up in

Barcelona, 80.3% of which are workers’ cooperatives and 63.2% of which were created in the past two years (2016 and 2017). On the other hand, the third social sector had 30,000 labour contracts in 2016 and the presence of these entities should be highlighted in the areas of social action aimed at children, teenagers and families, as well as care for people with mental and learning disabilities - which represent 41% and 18% of the total, respectively. Furthermore, the city has 48 special employment centres and 20 social recruitment companies which enable the social and labour market integration of people with specific needs.

Barcelona is committed to local and quality

commerce

• With 16,164 companies and 151,368 jobs, commerce is one of the areas with most weight within the economic structure of Barcelona. Indeed, the sector accounted for 21.4% of companies and 14.4% of employment in the city at the end of 2017. The number of establishments in the retail and restaurant sectors was 35,834 in 2016, which represents 17.3% of the total in the city.

• The municipal markets, with a surface area of 260,941 m2 _{and 2,312 stalls, are one of the} benchmarks of the Barcelona trade model due to their economic and social significance in the city’s neighbourhoods, and they represent the largest

network of food markets on the continent of Europe.

International reference for urban tourism

and the organisation of congresses

• In Barcelona, tourism in hotels reached 7.7 million visitors, while overnight stays were at 19.7 million in 2017, with year-on-year variations of 2.5% and 0.7%, respectively, compared with 2016.

• Various rankings underscore the attractiveness of Barcelona for foreign visitors: The European Cities

Marketing Benchmarking Report 2016/2017 ranks

Barcelona in fifth position in Europe for international overnight stays, while Trip Advisor ranked it as the sixth most attractive worldwide for tourists in 2017. Finally, according to the Top Cities Destination Ranking report from Euromonitor International, in 2017 Barcelona was the 23rd most visited city by international tourists out of 100 cities across the world, and the 6th _{most visited} among European cities.

• With regard to business tourism, according to the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), in 2017 Barcelona was the top city worldwide for the number of international meetings organised for the first time in its history and also the top city

for the number of participants in these meetings.

According to the Barcelona Convention Bureau, Barcelona hosted 2,134 meetings in 2017, with an economic impact estimated at 1,851 million in the city.

• In 2017, with 2.7 million cruise ship passengers, Barcelona held onto its position as the top base port in Europe and in the Mediterranean for cruise ships, and it is the fourth most important base port in the world.

DIGITAL CITY, CREATIVITY, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

Digital city,

research and

innovation

Barcelona leads Spain’s advance towards a

knowledge economy

• Barcelona seeks to become a point of reference in the field of technology to improve the quality of life in a global context in which mobile technology is a key vector for the growth of the economy as a whole. In this context, the role of Barcelona as Mobile World Capital, hosting the Mobile World Congress and the industrial legacy project - present a strategic opportunity to position the city in this sector of activity.

• Nowadays, Barcelona offers one of the most dynamic ecosystems for digital entrepreneurship and according to the Innovation Cities Index 2018 is the 8th_more innovative city in Europe and the 30th_{in the word.}

• Similarly, the British consultancy Atomico ranks it as the 3rd_{favourite European city for establishing} start-ups, after London and Berlin, and the fourth for the volume of investment received for start-ups in 2017 (The State of European Tech 2017).

• As regards the distribution of the investment in start-ups by sector in Barcelona, most notable is the capital invested in the mobile sector (55% of the total), followed by electronic commerce (25%) and those of a social nature (10%).

• In 2017, the area of Barcelona generated 13.9% of the applications for utility models and 13.2% of the patents in the Spanish State as a whole. Catalonia is the region with the highest number of innovative companies in Spain (23%) and 24.3% of the State’s total expenditure in innovative activities.

• Barcelona was ranked fifth in Europe and 18th worldwide in scientific production in 2017, according to data prepared by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia using the Science Citation Index.

• The expenditure in R+D in Catalonia was 1.46% of GDP in 2016, lower than the average in the European Union but higher than that of Spain and regions such as Lombardy and London. There are 46,592 members of staff dedicated to research and development in the Principality.

• Creative activities brought Barcelona over 130,000 jobs in 2017, representing 12.3% of employment in the city and half (49.6%) of creative jobs in Catalonia. It should be pointed out that, according to the latest research, a higher percentage of employees in creative industries is very intensely correlated to a higher level of production per inhabitant.

• The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor 2017 from the European Commission ranks Barcelona as the ninth large city in terms of vitality and creativity.

for businesses

• In relation to the cost of living, Barcelona is ranked in 79th _{position among the cities analysed in the annual} study of Mercer Consulting (which takes New York as a reference) and it maintains competitive prices in comparison with other cities in the world, despite having climbed positions compared with the previous year due to the appreciation of the euro.
