BILBAO URBAN SOLUTIONS Bilbao is an international reference model within the field of urban transformation and renovation. It has its origin in the year 1997 with the inauguration of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Its commitment to prestigious architecture, culture, design and creativity, together with the recuperation of deteriorated spaces and its pledge towards liveability and sustainability, merited in 2010 the recognition of the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, considered the Nobel prize for cities. Bilbao has, furthermore, created the conditions necessary for favouring innovation and excellence. The objective is to favour economic development, the best quality of life for people and social cohesion.

BILBAO, ECONOMIC CAPITAL OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY _
bilbao_
New economy for the future _
Bilbao is the economic capital of the Basque Country, a major city with a population of over 1.5 million people, 45 minutes by car from the city centre, well connected with Europe and the world via an international airport from which the most important airlines operate. Located in the heart of Europe, the city of Bilbao is a reference for industrial and urban transformation, now immersed in a strategic commitment to knowledge, innovation, technology and excellence. Bilbao is now strongly engaged in a new economy, which contributes value and future to the city. We have qualified human resources, an industrial tradition over the average, experience in public-private partnership and a transparent and rigorous management of the resources. The challenge for the coming decades involves development an economic policy, linked to urban industrial solutions and strategic sector, such as: • Advanced services • Eco-technology and urban solutions • Art, technology and design • Tourism, health and quality of life

strategic sectors_ 8
Art, technology and design
Tourism, health and quality of life
Creativity, culture, technology and design are assets that Bilbao has incorporated into the economic fabric of the city. Bilbao Bizkaia Design and Creativity Council is an initiative linked to graphic and industrial design, fashion, furniture, video-games and the digital and audiovisual economy.
Tourism is a sector with great potential for growth. Its evolution and expansion generate new opportunities for the development of regional and urban destinations. Bilbao connects with the new trends that favour experiential and unique trips.
In this field, Bilbao offers a level of higher qualified technicians over the Spanish and European average, and a clear vocation to create and consolidate creative hubs in the city. Incorporating technology, digital culture and design to all urban and economic processes is, in fact, a hallmark of Bilbao.
Tourism accounts of over 5.6 % of the city’s GDP and will play an even more important part, which coincides with the setting up of a more competitive industry, the boom in business travel and the consolidation of new fields such as health, quality of life, art, culture, the avantgarde, knowledge and the Basque landscape.
Advanced services
Eco-technology and urban solutions
In societies with a high quality of life, economic development and well-being are directly linked to the existence and generation of business activities with a high added value in knowledge and technology. Advanced services are therefore a core area of a forward-looking and modern society. They generate 27% of the GDP of Bilbao and their contribution to employment stands at 16.5%.
Bilbao has a long list of companies that have been involved in the urban transformation of the city, by contributing experience, technology and excellence.
Further, they are associated to location factors where Bilbao is a European benchmark, which include international connections, internal mobility, urban density and diversity, creative and qualified human resources, good public government, social cohesion, attractive environment, own identity and a first-rate health and educational system.
The capital of Bizkaia is well-positioned to deal with a growing demand for services and infrastructures linked to sustainability, habitability, mobility and recovery of urban areas. Its business fabric is strong in fields such as clean energies, waste water and water treatment, public transport, etc.

tax and selffinancing systems_
The tax and financing system of the Basque Country, based on historical regional rights, has its own individual characteristics. Its uniqueness lies in the Statute of Autonomy, which states that relations of tax and finance matters between the Spanish State and the Basque Country should be regulated by the traditional regional system of the Special Economic Agreement or Conventions.
The Economic Agreement rules that the Basque Country has its own tax collecting system with the legislative and administrative capability that is normally held by the tax authorities of a state. It is the Agreement itself that contains all the appropriate rules for fiscal harmonisation that guarantee the even development of the different tax systems of the Basque Country and the rest of Spain.
