The Basque Mobility and Logistics Cluster held its 22nd Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assembly today with around one hundred attendees.

Economic highlights
In 2024, the cluster’s members achieved a joint turnover of 14 million euros, which represents approximately 15% of the Basque Country’s GDP. Of this figure, 29.6% came from international markets, and 3% was allocated to investment in R&D&I, underlining the sector’s commitment to sustainable development objectives and, specifically, to more efficient, safer, smarter and cleaner mobility.
Innovation projects and funding
During the past year, the Cluster promoted 44 innovation projects with a total value of more than 137 million euros. Through these projects, funds from European and regional funding programmes totalling 6 million euros have been attracted to the Basque Country.
Internationalisation and promotion
The international activity of the Cluster has been reflected in its participation in trade fairs and foreign markets in countries such as Germany, Colombia, Dubai and Mexico. In addition, the Cluster has organised its own events and in collaboration with other organisations, which have brought together almost a thousand attendees, maintaining active agreements with some twenty leading events in the sector.
New Strategic Plan 2025-2028
During the Assembly, the new Strategic Plan 2025-2028 was approved, and its presentation was attended by the Deputy Minister of Industry of the Basque Government, Andoitz Korta. During the presentation, the strategic position of the Basque Country and the relevance of electric mobility as one of the five priority markets of the RIS3 were highlighted as strengths.
The plan identifies three vectors of change that will mark the sector’s activity: energy and green transition, digital transition and sectoral competitiveness. With this perspective, the cluster’s activity will focus on five areas of specialisation: Connected and Automated Mobility; New Mobility; Urban Logistics; Intralogistics; and Long Distance and Multimodal Logistics. The main lines of action from which the different axes will be developed will be strategic vigilance; innovation; internationalisation and markets; talent; sectoral dynamisation and excellent management.
