Corporate culture and economic dynamism

Elche preserves its hallmark as the city of footwear and its components. It is the main manufacturer, marketer and exporter of shoes in Spain and an international benchmark in brands, fashion, design, innovation and technological development.

But, apart from footwear, Elche is an important centre of entrepreneurial growth with a highly diversified and developed economic structure: agriculture, commerce, construction, industry, logistics, hospitality, services, tourism. Its industrial network ranges from big international companies to medium size and small firms and a large number of self-employed workers. This is all conveyed in the dynamic, innovative, creative and enterprising character of the business world in Elche and its ability to develop new business opportunities. That is why, companies in Elche are consolidated and grow.

Elche is also an ideal place for companies and institutions from the public sector, such as the Agència Valenciana de Protecció del Territori of the Valencian Regional Government that is in charge of ensuring the rational or legal use of land.
