Catalonia’s digital hub

Catalonia’s digital hub is made up of some 19,000 companies that employ some 180,000 professionals and have an overall turnover of € 30,000M (representing 13% of its GDP). The Catalan ecosystem is built on a solid base of companies, research centres and universities in the sector, and a powerful emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Barcelona (the capital city of Catalonia) is the 5th best ecosystem in the EU in which to set up a startup *, the 2nd favourite EU hub of founders for setting up a startup **, and the 6th EU hub in terms of funding raised for startups in venture capital ***.

Due to the importance of this sector for the growth of the economy, the Government of Catalonia has promoted a strong strategy in the field of digital technologies to make Catalonia a digital country, by improving its digital development in infrastructures, the growth of technological sectors, the digitalisation of public services and the promotion of strategies in disruptive or innovative tecnologies, such as IA, NewSpace, 5G, Blockchain and mobile technologies.
