Spain’s tech scene has surged in 2023, driven by strong digital‑transformation budgets from public sector and multinational firms, attractive R&D tax credits, and a highly skilled talent pool concentrated in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.

The country hosts a mix of high‑growth startups and established tech giants. In Madrid, fintech firms like Fintonic and Kubo Financiero lead the market, while Barcelona is a hub for AI and e‑commerce with companies such as Neurala, Konux, and Zalando. Valencia’s gaming sector powers Gameloft and Ubisoft, and the Basque Country’s renewable‑energy tech companies such as Enagás and Iberdrola are expanding their digital footprints.

While the average monthly rent for a one‑bedroom in central Madrid is €1,200 and in Barcelona €1,100, the average tech salary ranges from €35,000 to €60,000 annually, leaving about 30–35% of gross income for housing.
