Sant Cugat grants five subsidies to business associations and denies one

The Local Governing Board of the Sant Cugat del Vallès City Council approved on October 27, 2026, the final resolution of the call for grants for the promotion of business revitalization and the attraction and retention of talent for the 2026 financial year, with five projects benefited and one dismissed. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona (BOPB) on November 11, 2026, on pages 1-2, with the official reference CVE 202610165063.

The procedure is framed within the line N210 Grants for urban trade and is processed under file 6114/2026 and document 470891/2026. The grants are awarded under a competitive bidding regime, according to the prior assessment of the Technical Valuation Commission, and the expenditure is charged to budget applications 16111 43300 4800000 and 16111 43300 4790000 of the current municipal budget.

Five benefited projects, with two support lines for Sant Cugat Empresarial

The agreement approves the applications submitted by the following entities and projects:

• Association of Female Executives and Businesswomen of Vallès, for the project ADE Vallès Awards 2026, file 35105/2026, with an amount of 2,700 euros.
• Business Association of Sant Cugat del Vallès, for the project SCE Forum 2026 (Sant Cugat Empresarial) Program 1, file 35742/2026.
• Business Association of Sant Cugat del Vallès, for the II Social Impact Conference Program 2, file 35741/2026, with an amount of 2,700 euros.
• Eleyeme 2006, SLU, for the project Women Evolution, file 35480/2026.
• Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Sant Cugat, for the CELEBRATION EVENT of the 10th anniversary of XDESC, file 36248/2026.

The Sant Cugat entity therefore receives two distinct grants: one for the forum program and another for the social impact conference, both linked to the same objective of revitalizing the local economic fabric. The call also includes a project promoted by a commercial company, Eleyeme 2006, SLU, and one from the municipality’s main entity for women entrepreneurs.

One dismissed project

The agreement dismisses the application from Cooperativa La Temerària SCCL for the project CUINA TEMERÀRIA, following the assessment carried out by the Technical Valuation Commission. The resolution does not include any other excluded application in the published text.

90 percent advance payment and justification until January 31

The economic and control aspects of the grant are established as follows:

• The expenditure for the granted subsidies is approved and authorized, charged to budget applications 16111 43300 4800000 and 16111 43300 4790000.
• The obligation is recognized and the advance payment of 90% of the amounts granted to the beneficiary entities is approved.
• The entities must justify the subsidy before January 31, 2027.
• The agreement will be published on the municipal electronic office (santcugat.cat), the Transparency Portal, and the Registry of Subsidies and Aid of Catalonia (RAISC).
• The agreement will be forwarded to the Accounting, Treasury, and Audit services.

The decision comes at a time of reactivation of the municipal financial subsidy calendar for the final stretch of the year and directly affects the associative and business fabric of the Vallès Occidental. For SMEs, freelancers, and entities in the municipality, the text clarifies which projects will receive municipal funds, under what conditions the money can be advanced, and what margin there is until the end of January 2027 to justify them; at the same time, the rejection of a cooperative project shows that the call has been resolved based on technical evaluation criteria and not through automatic assignment.
