Visit of Natàlia Mas Guix to Our Industrial Facilities

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Natàlia Mas Guix, shared this information during a visit to Alier, which to date has received 17.6 million euros from the Next Generation funds to invest in sustainability and the circular economy. Additionally, in collaboration with Engie, over 6 million euros have been secured to build the largest biomass plant in the country dedicated to the self-consumption of thermal energy in the production process of a factory.

Mas Guix detailed that all this information is available in the interactive viewer provided by the Department of Economy and Finance, which is accessible to the public to offer updated data on the real impact of the Next Generation funds in Catalonia. This new tool, which will be regularly updated, allows users to consult the distribution of these resources throughout the region. It provides detailed information on calls for proposals, tenders, and direct grants made by both the Generalitat and the Spanish government.

Minister Natàlia Mas Guix highlighted that “Alier is a benchmark company that combines legacy and innovation, adapting to the times since its founding in 1832, with a strong commitment to internationalization. The EU-funded project to build a large biomass plant for self-consumption, which will be the largest in the country, is an example of bold decision-making. We always say that economic growth can no longer be separated from innovation and sustainability, and here we find a great example.”

She also emphasized, “From the Generalitat, we will continue working to support projects like Alier’s, ensuring that the Next Generation funds drive a greener, more digital economy with a brighter future.”
