The importance of data centers in Madrid

Isabel Día Ayuso, the president of the Community of Madrid, commented on the importance of data centers in the region, pointing out that each euro invested in them “multiplies up to 12 the Gross Domestic Product”. Furthermore, he assured that in the coming years almost 700 million euros will be invested in this type of projects with the aim of turning the capital into the "most important digital center in southern Europe." This will fill us with prestige.

The president also closed this week the round table on the Economy and Madrid's digital capital, according to different media such as Gacetín Madrid, and also indicated that projects like this push society to grow in the future and continue innovating, and she highlighted the location, the district of San Blas-Canillejas, which concentrates 65% of the Internet traffic in all of Spain. Who'd say… 

The president of the Community has insisted that Madrid is experiencing a true economic, technological and digital renaissance and has highlighted the importance of data centers. According to Ayuso, the capital is the “largest digital port” in the country, where much of the data content is distributed and connects the digital economy with Europe, America and Africa. Madrid has fiber optic coverage that reaches 98% of homes, and the smallest municipality has more than many neighborhoods in large European cities, he explained. We are prepared for a very promising future.
