Geographical coverage
CATCIM will provide its services in Catalonia, Spain. Catalonia corresponds to NUTS2 level. The
reasons to consider a NUTS2 level region as the region to be covered are the Spanish
administrative organisation (Catalonia is one of the 17 Autonomous Regions); the size of
the region in terms of population, which corresponds to NUTS1 level; the number of
companies and existing networks and infrastructures; and its GDP in relation to the
Spanish GDP.
Catalonia is located in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula on the Mediterranean coast,
occupying an area of 31,980 square km, with a population of 6,995,206 (in 2005), which is
about 16% of the Spanish population. The global GDP was 169.855 millions € in year
2005. The Catalan contribution to the Spanish economy currently accounts for 19% of total
Spanish GDP, with a share of 28% and 29% of total Spanish exports and imports
respectively. Catalonia has about 605.000 companies, 74% located at the province of
Barcelona and the rest at the provinces of Girona (11%), Tarragona (9%) and Lleida (6%).
