Avançsa gana un 90% más pese a realizar provisiones por 2,25 millones

Avançsa, the business holding of the Catalan government, reported a significant 90% increase in net profit to 8.49 million euros in 2025, despite provisions totaling 2.25 million euros. This growth marks a turnaround in the company's results, which had been declining for the past four years. The company, led by Claudia Canals, experienced improvements in its portfolio of startups, including Project Lobster, Shoppery Networks, Kleta Mobility, Ananas Anam, and Gymtonic.

The largest provision came from Project Lobster, with 600,000 euros. Avançsa's investment in Shoppery Networks, the bicycle company, and Ananas, the vegan leather company, each resulted in provisions of up to 500,000 euros. The holding also had to write off 100,000 euros from its investment in textile firm Gymtonic. In 2024, Avançsa had provisions of 9.3 million euros, but the previous year, the company had financed four credit launches for a total of four million euros to adapt to changing credit terms.

Despite the provisions, Avançsa managed to offset much of the impact by selling Talent Clue, a Barcelona-based human resources software firm, to the tech group Beetween the previous summer. Avançsa does not pay dividends, as it continues to support transformative projects within Catalonia's business ecosystem.
