Strategic Plan
The sustained economic development model of Braga was released in 2014, right at the onset of the implementation of the Strategic Plan for the Economic Development of Braga 2014-2026 (PEDEB 2014-2026). After 4 years, an update of the plan was necessary, in accordance with the degree of implementation of the objectives so far and the evolving context.
This plan is continuously monitored by InvestBraga and its Strategic Council, to evaluate the implementation of the several actions defined.
Our aim is that Braga becomes increasingly recognized as a city open to the world, for all its history, heritage, deeply marked by multiculturalism and multilingualism, with education and innovation at the heart of its economic ecosystem, thus evolving from the ”motto” made in Braga to the invented/designed in Braga. An average and sustainable city in size, but with high economic and cultural dynamism, champion and promoter of entrepreneurship, and based on the following development axes:
- Centres for Engineering, Innovation and Shared Services;
- Industry and Construction;
- ICTE – Information Technologies, Communication and Electronics;
- Health and Medtech;
- Tourism and Culture;
- Commerce;
- Territory.
The implementation of the strategy outlined in this plan will continue to create the adequate conditions so that, until 2026, Braga will:
- Be in the Iberian top 10 and Portuguese top 3 at the levels of economic, cultural and quality of life;
- Keep the 1% economic growth above the average of Spain and Portugal;
- Generate on average 500 new jobs per year;
- Evolve into an Innovation City in the Iberian Peninsula scenario, based on contemporary knowledge and millenary heritage;
- Continue to position itself as a centre for young and creative industries.
