We are a public-private initiative backed by the Xunta de Galicia that supports business ventures with the potential to be a driving force for change (i.e., to have a “tractor effect”) and that use environmentally friendly and digital models to contribute to the stimulation, progress, and transformation of the Galician economy.
Impulsa Galicia was founded in April 2021 as a joint venture between the Xunta de Galicia (40%), Abanca (38%), Reganosa (12%), and Sogama (10%).
