What Fundación Cluster de Automoción y Movilidad de Galicia does

CEAGA (Fundación Cluster de Automoción y Movilidad de Galicia) is a non-profit foundation established in 2006 and registered in the Register of Galician interest foundations (number 2006/20), headquartered in Vigo, Spain. The organization operates as the official automotive and mobility cluster of Galicia, aggregating 100% of the sector — including Stellantis Vigo (the anchor OEM), over 160 component and services suppliers, the CTAG Automotive Technology Center, and 90+ startups created through its BFA accelerator program. CEAGA delivers a portfolio of interconnected services across training (Universidad Corporativa CEAGA corporate university), innovation coordination (DIHGIGAL Digital Innovation Hub with 450+ entities), startup acceleration (Business Factory Auto & Mobility, launched 2016, generating €103 million in turnover and 869 jobs), collective sustainability (GREEN ENERGY: 109 plants, 91 GWh electricity traded), industrial excellence (COMPETE 2030 with 512+ Lean Managers), and project funding support (Project Office reaching 350+ executives).

The foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of senior representatives from major member companies (ZF Group, Stellantis, TI Automotive, GKN Driveline, Lear, Plastic Omnium, Borgwarner, TB Spain Injection, CTAG), with Patricia Moreira (ZF Group) as Chairwoman as designated in March 2023. CEAGA's revenue model is built on member company fees, fee-based and subsidized training programs (including partnerships with Xunta de Galicia for subsidized courses), and professional services through its Project Office — none of its individual service lines have publicly disclosed pricing. The organization holds Registered Innovative Business Grouping status (Spanish Ministry of Industry, since 2007) and was the first automotive cluster in Europe to receive the ESCA Gold Label for cluster management excellence (renewals in 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, scoring 98% in the most recent renewal). In 2023, CEAGA expanded its mandate from automotive-only to include mobility, and in 2026 it launched new AI-led initiatives (INTEGRA-AI for predictive industrial planning and CIRCULINK for circular economy + AI), as well as a cross-sector partnership with the Galician Naval Cluster (Aclunaga).
