It does less of 
century that the district 
it stopped being agriculturist, 
it does few years 
that it has let be 
industrialist and has 
overturned its activity 
exclusively to 
sector of services.
The future demand 
to relaunch the activity 
tertiary, fomenting 
telecommunications, 
the tourism, the quality 
residential and 
commerce.
 
Taking advantage of his  strategic situation with respect to the station 
of the TGV,  The Fira of  Barcelona i the F.C. Barcelona.
 
Considering 
that its main ones 
competitors in 
these moments are 
in: the Polygon 
Pedrosa, Las Arenas, 
and the own station 
of Sants.
 
Sants does not have 
great or medium 
companies. However 
it is the paradise of 
small companies.
Sants must then 
to foment 
creativity and 
society of 
information and 
to turn its only one 
defect, the small one 
size of his 
companies,  in one 
quality.

Sants is a district 
highly 
competitive, and a place 
ideal to install 
innovating businesses 
andor strategists.
