Granada: Hub of innovation and digital talent
In addition to its historical, cultural and tourist attractions, Granada is a benchmark in technology and innovation.

Thus, Granada is positioning itself as an attractive residential destination for digital nomads, specially for those with artificial intelligence.

Granada is consolidating its position as a technological leader thanks to its advanced digital infrastructure and dynamic business environment. The city has significantly improved its connectivity, with fiber optic networks up to 1.000 mMbps covering historic neighbourhoods such as Albaicín, Realejo, and the city centre.
In the business world , OnTech Innovation stands out as the largest technology cluster in Southern Europe, with more than 640 companies in the ICT and biotechnology sectors.
Centers that consolidate Granada’s position in the field of artificial intelligence:
- iQuantum, the first urban Artificial Intelligence demonstration center in Spain, aims to bring AI closer to the public through educational and outreach activities. It also seeks to attract talent and technology companies, consolidating Granada as a hub for AI innovation.
- The Artificial Intelligence Center of Andalusia, which will open in 2025 in the Health Technology Park, will coordinate 65 cases of use of Artificial Intelligence already active in the regional administration. Its goal is to position Andalusia at the forefront in Europe in the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies, improving the efficiency of public services and promoting the development of digital talent. In addition the center will have an Experimental Technologies Innovation Space, aimed at the development of quantum computing, within the Quantum Project.
These initiatives, supported by the new Digital Andalusia Law, which designates Granada as the “capital of artificial intelligence”, reinforce the city’s role in the region’s digital transformation.
