Gran Canaria is the ideal destination for the development of companies and projects related to the marine-maritime sector, given its strategic position between Africa, Europe, and America, its natural and economic characteristics and its role as a logistics and industrial hub of the Canary Islands archipelago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gran Canaria’s advantages in the sector lie in the activities linked to the Port of Las Palmas (bunkering, ship repair, offshore wind, cargo traffic, cruise ships or crew changes), the attractive tax incentives and the presence of blue research spaces, such as The Canarian Oceanic Platform, which provides efficient access to the ocean in an environmentally sustainable way.<\/span><\/p>\n

To all this, with the promotion and financing of <\/span>Promoci\u00f3n Econ\u00f3mica de Gran Canaria and Cabildo de Gran Canaria, there<\/span> are two new offers that will boost Gran Canaria’s competitiveness to hold blue economy business projects: the new services of IAT Marino Mar\u00edtima are launched and the new spaces of Centro de Innovaci\u00f3n Marino Mar\u00edtima get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, it has specialized advisory and consulting services in the areas of business, internationalization, legal and tax advice, finance, and technology consulting; group and specialized workshops and programs, testing and experimentation opportunities; promotion programs and knowledge dissemination actions; cloud computing services; and promotion of collaboration between the entrepreneurs of the different projects, companies and collaborating entities.<\/span><\/p>\n
