President Pedro Sánchez presided over the stone‑laying ceremony for a new Grifols plant in Lliçà de Vall, Barcelona, marking a €160 million investment that will create 400 direct jobs and more than 1,000 indirect positions. He highlighted the plant’s role in strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy in healthcare, industry and technology. The facility will use advanced technology, including robotics, artificial intelligence and clean technologies. Sánchez noted that the pharmaceutical sector contributes 1.9 % of Spain’s GDP and 80 % of its production is exported. He praised Catalonia as the second‑largest European pharmaceutical ecosystem, with nearly 90 000 jobs and a €7.8 billion contribution to the regional GDP. The government will continue to support the sector through new strategies and funding initiatives.
