Raven, a global company specializing in disruption, business design, and acceleration, announces the acquisition of DIGA, a firm with more than 20 years of experience in the design, development, and scaling of digital products and enterprise technologies. This transaction strengthens and completes Raven’s offering for Spain and Europe, integrating advanced capabilities in engineering, architecture, data, and delivery into its Think–Build–Sell model.
Raven selected the Madrid Region as the strategic hub for its expansion into Europe and the Middle East, relocating its headquarters from Delaware, United States, to the region.
In the words of J.J. de la Torre, Founder & CEO of Raven: “Madrid offers the perfect location to expand our business across Southern Europe and into other markets such as the Middle East.” He adds, “Our commitment goes hand in hand with Madrid’s value proposition and its role as a cornerstone of our growth and international expansion.”
From Strategy to Scalable Technology
The acquisition of DIGA consolidates a unique value proposition in the European market: strategy, product design, and technology integrated into a single operating model designed to accelerate time-to-market and maximize business impact.
As J.J. de la Torre explains, “With the incorporation of DIGA, we strengthen our ability to build what we design. We bring together strategic vision, product, and technology into a single stack, ready to scale in highly competitive markets.”
This integration enables Raven to deliver digital products in Europe that are built to scale, monetize, and operate efficiently, with a strong focus on banking, insurance, energy, retail, industry, and digital platforms.
20 Years Building for Leading Organizations
DIGA brings two decades of experience delivering mission-critical technology solutions for leading organizations, including BBVA, Banco Santander, Mapfre, Iberdrola, Repsol, and Inditex, among others.
Now integrated into Raven, this technological track record is amplified by capabilities in disruption, value proposition design, growth, and commercial acceleration—bridging the historical gap between thinking, building, and selling.
According to Paco Pereira, CEO of DIGA, “Becoming part of Raven allows us to take our design and engineering capabilities to the next level, directly connecting them with strategy and growth. It is the ideal environment to create technology with real, measurable impact on our clients’ results.”
A European Platform in the Making
This transaction marks the beginning of a series of acquisitions Raven plans to execute over the next 18 months, with the objective of building a leading pan-European and American platform in disruption, technology, and acceleration—combining talent, intellectual property, scale, and industrial execution.
As J.J. de la Torre highlights, “DIGA is the first of several strategic integrations we are driving to position Raven as the European and American benchmark in the design and development of high-growth digital businesses.”
Raven and Invest in Madrid
Raven began considering Madrid as a potential headquarters following a series of seminars organized by Invest in Madrid in Chile and Colombia in the summer of 2022. During those meetings, the company gained first-hand insight into the ecosystem and the advantages of the Madrid Region as a destination for foreign investment.
“Invest supported us at every step of the process, helping us navigate the different bureaucratic requirements we needed to address,” emphasizes J.J. de la Torre.
