Multinationals and investors choose the Region of Madrid as a technological destination. It is estimated that next year direct investments will exceed 6,000 million euros. In this context, Mexican investment is growing and represents more than 60% of investment from Latin America.
But, in order to increase the attractiveness and thus increase the number of Mexican investments, what does the Madrid’s region have to offer?
Its privileged geostrategic position allows for exceptional connectivity, making it the interconnection hub of southern Europe. This advantage attracts cloud service providers, data centres and interconnection companies, allowing it to compete at the same level as other powers in this sector, such as London, Paris or Frankfurt.
Furthermore, the Madrid’s region is home to 37 data centres, generates more than 24,000 jobs and has a turnover of 9 billion euros, which represents 45% of the national total.
But it is not only capital that is key; human resources also play a key role. With more than 85,000 university students in engineering, science and architecture, the region has a highly competitive education system, leading the way in job creation in Spain. It also offers an attractive environment for Mexican entrepreneurs, investors and professionals, as well as their families.
The Madrid’s region is a strategic choice for Mexican investments in data centres. Its advanced telecommunications network, secure legal framework and favourable tax regime have attracted large multinationals, which have already committed to the region.
