CREA FEINA BARCELONA 2024

Subsidies to foster hiring

Barcelona City Council, through Barcelona Activa, launches the Crea Feina Barcelona 2024 grants with the aim of promoting youth talent and the competitiveness of companies.


In the current edition, companies and self-employed people can receive grants of up to €8,000 for each new contract of youths under 30 (the amount varies according to the gender or the situation of the person hired: unemployment, first job or situation of long-term unemployment, or risk of exclusion), and up to €15,000 in the case of hiring staff with a doctorate degree.

In all cases, the hired person must be unemployed and registered in the city of Barcelona. The contracts must be permanent and full-time, except in the case of workers in situations of risk of social exclusion.

YOUR COMPANY CAN REQUEST THE SUBSIDY IF...

  • It has at least one work centre in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, where the hired persons provide their services.

  • It has been developing its activity for more than six months (in the case of recruitment of the line of youth).

  • It is up to date with payment of its obligations with Barcelona City Council (Municipal Tax Office), the Tax Agency and the Social Security

  • It is not currently affected by employment regulation processes, including temporary ones.

  • It signs and formalises a permanent and full-time employment contract. The recruitment may also be part-time for contracts with people at risk of social exclusion.

  • Contracts from 1st January, 2024 and that are still in force at the time of the request are considered.
     

To favour the maximum presence of companies from Barcelona and its Metropolitan Area, participation is limited according to the programme to be participated in:

  • Creafeina Youth: the grants that the same company can apply for in this call for 2024 will be limited to 3.

  • Creafeina Research: the grants that a single company can apply for in this call for 2024 will be limited to 5.


Consult the legal bases for all the requirements.
