KDPOF on RTVE: Interview with Carlos Pardo about Microelectronics Industry in Spain

KDPOF on RTVE Report “Invest in Spain”

Spain had approved the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation with an important invest in microchips and technology companies. It is essential because we have in Spain some companies that create technological and electronic components and equipment but depend on Asia for manufacturing since they don’t have the capacity to produce microchips on their own. The project PERTE will invest an important quantity of Euros to help these companies for manufacturing. As Carlos Pardo stated in the interview, it could get an important growth in these small companies and also attract private invest resulting in a general economic growth.
