The number remains in a very similar range to previous years, when authorizations were between 70 and 80. Of the total licenses granted, 43 correspond to small businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a fundamental segment for job creation and economic diversification. New activities include physiotherapy clinics, teaching academies, and establishments related to physical activity, among other businesses.
Around twenty additional authorizations are linked to large companies located in the municipality's main productive areas, such as the industrial estates of Sabón and Morás, and the outer port of Punta Langosteira. This distribution reflects the diversity of Arteixo's business fabric, where proximity businesses coexist with large industrial and logistics companies.
One aspect highlighted by the Municipality is the processing time for licenses. Typically, business activity files are informed within an approximate period of one month, allowing promoters to receive an administrative response in a short timeframe and proceed with launching their projects. This agility facilitates investment planning and supports the productive sector.
The 78 licenses granted during 2026 also serve as an indicator of the economic activity in Arteixo and its surrounding area, as thousands of workers from other municipalities commute daily to the area. The concentration of industrial infrastructure and the presence of large companies create a diversified economic base, consolidating the municipality as a key business hub in the A Coruña region and Galicia.
The Municipality believes these figures support the importance of continuing to encourage business establishment, the growth of existing businesses, and job creation, by maintaining an agile and accessible administration that supports Arteixo's economic development.
