July 15, 2026

The Government of the Generalitat of Catalonia will allocate 2 million euros to the expansion of the TecnoCampus technology and university park. Inaugurated in 2010, it consists of a university center affiliated with the Pompeu Fabra University with 4.500 students, and a business ecosystem made up of 120 hosted companies and several incubators for start-ups.

The new building will allow TecnoCampus to tackle new projects in both the undergraduate and postgraduate offering and in the business field, with new spaces for companies interested in integrating into its innovation ecosystem. 

The forecast indicates that the works could be completed by the end of 2029. The initial investment in the project was 52 million euros, and in this expansion the overall investment will be 20 million euros in the new building. It will be located on a plot of land very close to the main building, on Narcís Monturiol Street with Arenys Street, in the Iveco Pegaso sector. TecnoCampus has formalized a loan of 18 million euros with BBVA that will be complemented by the contribution made by the Generalitat.

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Alícia Romero, has announced that the 2026 budget already includes 2 million euros to promote the expansion of the TecnoCampus. “The Generalitat must commit to major projects like this,” said Romero, who pointed out that this is the first time the Government has made an investment in it. And she stressed that this expansion will allow attracting more talent, facilitating the establishment of new companies and generating more economic activity. 

In this sense, the minister pointed out that it is "essential" that TecnoCampus, "a node of a large network like Catalonia", continues to grow and contribute to making the country more competitive and innovative. 

The mayor of Mataró and president of TecnoCampus, David Bote, has remarked that the TecnoCampus project is a great asset for the city, for its promotion and for the generation of jobs and economic impact. It has been demonstrated, Bote indicated, that TecnoCampus “was not smoke”. The mayor has defended the expansion project as “a commitment to continue transforming the production model” of Mataró. “If we can consider this step forward it is because the activity and the center work”, he said. 

The general director of TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa, pointed out that the future equipment will include classrooms, laboratories, research and transfer spaces, areas for professional training and parking, and responds to the needs of growth and consolidation of the project. “We are moving from a phase of consolidation of a successful project to a new cycle of growth in which we set ourselves the objective of being an actor in the new challenges that we as a society have in the areas of training and business”, he pointed out.
