Official description of the call

In exercise of the competence of the Azpeitia City Council for the promotion of the local economy, it has been subsidizing the economic promotion of the town for years. In order to adapt these subsidies to the current reality, year after year, and after observing and analyzing the evolution of the economy in the municipality, the details are reflected to address the new needs for economic promotion. In this area, the Azpeitia City Council intends to exercise the functions established by law, taking into account the current reality. Local endogenous development is based on the use of the resources that localities have; These constitute the potential of "development" and, therefore, territorial strategic planning becomes a necessary instrument. The City Council's Strategic Plan 2030, approved in plenary session on May 4, 2021, has as one of its main lines the articulation of its own economic model to face the following challenges: — Socialization of the economy, the economy must play a role that satisfies the needs of citizens and allows the residents of Azpeitia to work in the municipality itself. — Increase the level of professionalization and competitiveness. The interdependencies that the economic structure supports are increasingly evident in the global context, in response to external and internal challenges. — Industrial and land transformation and revitalization of activities. Industry, the municipality's economic engine, is a priority sector for its stabilization. It would offer quality employment to Azpeitiarras and facilitate the development of their professional careers in the municipality itself, industrial strengthening. Promoting the industry, and above all the commitment to a new industry, will generate the possibility of citizens having quality living conditions. — Support and complement local commerce. Local commerce is essential to maintaining the prosperity of street life and the richness of relationships and social exchanges. The sectors that make up the local economy are immersed in a profound transformation process that must respond to challenges such as adaptation to new consumer habits, the incorporation of new information and communication technologies, the lack of turnover and low rate of entrepreneurship, the adaptation of street spaces, the management of empty premises, the leap to renewable energies, etc. All these transformations condition the survival of the sectors of the local economy, factors on which it is considered essential to influence to minimize their negative impact and maintain, above all, an economic model (local economy) that guarantees the quality of life and social cohesion of the municipality. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Administration, among other issues, to support new entrepreneurs and businesses, prioritizing their economic development. On the other hand, the closures mean that more and more empty stores are found on the streets of the town. In the case of the premises in the Old Town, they also have added difficulties when starting a new activity. In order to revitalize and make sustainable the sectors that make up the local economy, it is considered essential to establish the eligible lines regulated in these bases, through which the following are promoted: 1. Creation and growth of companies and job creation. 2. Create new development spaces and opportunities for entrepreneurs and companies. 3. Innovation in entrepreneurship and promotion of entrepreneurial culture. 4. Promotion of economic and social activity through innovative projects. 5. Revitalization of the town's historic center. 6. Support for the energy transition. 7. Promote business and commercial hiring. In this sense, the City Council has approved and adopted measures of various kinds to alleviate the acute effects of the current transformations, needs and energy crisis. For this reason, this year's subsidy program has included a series of specific aid in sectors that are suffering the effects of inflation and in sectors strongly affected by the energy crisis. These subsidies are included in the Strategic Subsidy Plan 2026-2028 of the Azpeitia City Council approved by the Plenary Session of the City Council on February 3, 2026 (BOG February 25, 2026), and s
