Last year, a total of 16 projects were approved, receiving subsidies worth €9.9 million and enabling the maintenance of 720 jobs and the creation of 120 additional ones.
During the 2020–2025 period, this aid programme—jointly managed by the Ministry of Finance and INFO—has supported nearly 100 projects, with more than €525 million in total investment.
The Regional Incentives programme, a tool jointly managed by the Ministry of Finance and the Regional Ministry of Enterprise, Employment and Social Economy through the Institute of Development (INFO), aims to promote high-impact industrial investments. Last year, it approved 16 projects in the region, mobilising €59.2 million in investment thanks to €9.9 million in subsidies. These grants helped maintain 723 jobs and create 123 new positions.
“Regional Incentives are a quiet but decisive lever, as they turn business projects into reality, encourage companies to invest here, and sustain stable employment in strategic sectors,” said the Regional Minister for Enterprise, Employment and Social Economy, Marisa López Aragón. “This is a funding line that aligns with one of the regional government’s priorities: accelerating the modernisation of the productive sector, attracting industrial investment, and strengthening regional competitiveness through sound, viable projects with territorial impact.”
Through the Regional Incentives system, projects involving the creation of new facilities, the expansion of existing activities, or the launch of new business activities by the applicant company are promoted, as well as the modernisation of facilities, provided it is not merely replacement investment. The non-repayable subsidy is calculated as a percentage of eligible costs and is primarily aimed at projects with investments exceeding €900,000.
Currently, the maximum aid intensity can reach 50% for small companies, 40% for medium-sized companies, and 30% for large companies, always subject to conditions such as viability and the requirement that investment has not begun before application. López Aragón highlighted the active collaboration between the regional administration and the Ministry, “which includes advising companies through INFO in preparing applications, as well as participation in commissions in Madrid, allowing us to prioritise the needs of our industrial sector in its modernisation.”
€525 million invested in industrial modernisation since the pandemic
Between 2020 and 2025, the programme approved 94 projects in the region, with more than €525 million in investment and €83.3 million in subsidies, supporting 7,499 jobs and creating 1,274 new ones. By sector, logistics and transport, the chemical industry, and the food industry stood out.
In terms of geographical distribution, based on the highest volume of subsidies granted, Murcia leads with €12.4 million, followed by Torre-Pacheco with €9.7 million, Yecla with €9.3 million, Cartagena with €7.7 million, and Alhama de Murcia with €6.9 million, among other municipalities.
