The municipality's technology stack centers on a Smart City framework with the Sede Electrónica electronic administration platform enabling 24/7 online administrative procedures, the Portal de Transparencia for open government, the App la Nucía mobile application for incident reporting and event notifications, La Nucía TV as a local broadcast channel, and integration with the Vortal electronic bidding platform for public procurement.

Key partnerships include AQUALIA S.L. for water services, Universidad de Alicante for educational programming, and Aqualandia Benidorm for youth recreation activities.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: local tax revenue (IBI property tax, IVTM vehicle tax, IAE business activities tax), service fees (water via AQUALIA, waste management, market licenses, construction permits), central and regional government grants and subsidies for municipal projects, and public procurement and licensing fees. As a public administration entity, services are primarily funded through mandatory local taxes and government transfers rather than discretionary commercial pricing. The entity is positioning La Nucía as a "Ciudad del Deporte" (Sports City) destination, hosting international sports campus events and tournaments to drive sports tourism.
