Adeje has taken another step in its economic development strategy by joining REDEL, a national network focused on local economic growth, employment and business development.
The organisation brings together 41 public entities across Spain, with a combined reach of more than 1,900 municipalities and over 22 million residents.
Supporting the Adeje Impulsa Strategy
The move aligns with the municipality’s Adeje Impulsa programme, which is built around three key areas:
📚 Training
💼 Employment
🏢 Business Development
The aim is to strengthen sustainable economic growth while creating opportunities for residents, entrepreneurs and local companies.
New Opportunities for Residents and Businesses
Membership of REDEL gives Adeje access to:
📈 Information on grants, funding and development programmes
🎓 Training opportunities through virtual learning platforms
🤝 Collaboration with municipalities across Spain
💡 Sharing of successful projects and best practices
🏛️ Links with national institutions and government agencies
The network works closely with organisations including Spain’s Public Employment Service (SEPE), the Ministry of Labour and Social Economy, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) and the School of Industrial Organisation.
Strengthening Local Employment
According to the council, joining the network will help improve local employment policies while providing additional support for businesses and entrepreneurs operating in the municipality.
The initiative forms part of Adeje’s wider plan to reinforce its economic and social development while ensuring the municipality remains competitive and attractive for investment.
Greater Representation for the Canary Islands
Adeje now joins other Canary Islands administrations already participating in, or preparing to join, the network.
The move increases the presence of Canarian municipalities in national forums where policies and strategies relating to local economic development are discussed and shaped.
For a municipality that continues to grow both economically and demographically, having a seat at those tables could prove increasingly valuable.
