This European aid represents an opportunity and a challenge, since this modernization is not only economic but, even more importantly, social. In short, we are talking about European funds aimed at a greener, more digital, more egalitarian and socially and territorially cohesive future.
Until 2026, Spain will receive around €150billion of these funds, which will be distributed on the basis of four cross-cutting axes:

- Digital Transition
- Territorial and social cohesion
- Gender equality.
These axes are projected in 30 components whose objective is to modernize the country.
