The new Government of Aragon, led by Jorge Azcón, faces 2026 with the pressure of fulfilling its investiture pact and finally managing a regional budget. After two years of extensions, the executive must demonstrate management capacity without accounting excuses and address pending promises in key sectors for the community.
The pending digitalization of Aragon's industrial fabric 💻
Aragon lags behind in the digital transformation of its industrial SMEs, especially in areas such as logistics and agri-food. The budget extension has delayed the implementation of automation and cybersecurity programs. The new 2026 budget must prioritize rural connectivity and R&D incentives to prevent the technological gap from hindering the competitiveness of traditional sectors compared to other regions.
The digital agenda: more smoke than fiber optics 📡
They promise a digitalization plan for 2026, but in many towns 5G coverage is a myth like the Yeti. Meanwhile, civil servants get excited about new apps that don't work, and farmers wait for IoT sensors that never arrive. The only thing that updates quickly is the promise that next year will indeed be the year of technology in Aragon.
