Lehendakariaren hitzaldia – Discurso del Lehendakari
Mr president of EPM and all of members of the association, local committee
egun on. Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Ongi etorri. Welcome to Euskadi
/ Basque Country. Eskerrik asko. We thank you for choosing to organize this
European Congress in our Country.
This is an industrial Country.
Our goal is for industry to account for twenty five per cent of the Basque
economy. We are leaders in the Vanguard Network, because we believe in a
more industrial Europe.
This is a Country linked to metallurgy.
Our industrial roots are linked to iron ore and old ironworks. Like metallurgy
itself, the Basque Country has been re-invented.
Euskadik bere burua berrasmatu du; metalurgiak egin duen bezala:
Elektronikaren aplikazio berriak. Aleazio berriak. Teknologia berriak. Muga
berriak, nanoteknologietan. Ingurumen-erronka berriak eta erronka energetiko
berriak. Hitz batez, egokitzapen eta bilakaera prozesu etengabe bat.
This is a Country open to the world.
Our goal is for exports to exceed one third of our production.
This is a Country that is committed to a business support model.
We have a collaboration programme, "Basque industry 4.0", to digitize our
productive economy.
This is a Country that is committed to innovation.
We are placing our stakes on Smart Specialization in Advanced Manufacturing,
Energy and Bio-Health.

talento. La principal demanda de empleo procede de la industria y requiere
