Doing business in the European Union

To do business on Gran Canaria is to invest in a territory of the European Union with all the legal certainty that it offers. The fiscal benefits and investment incentives offered by its special Economic and Fiscal Regime make it an attractive place for firms to locate.

• Gran Canaria is one of the Canary Islands, an archipelago that is part of Spain and the European Union.

• It is fully integrated in the Single European Market and, since it is classed as an outermost region, it enjoys fiscal advantages and investment incentives that are extremely attractive in the international context.

• Its economic growth is average to the other European regions and its tourism industry is particularly important.

• The island’s internal market is determined by its population of over 800,000 inhabitants, the population of the other Canary Islands, and the affluence of visiting tourists.
