Madrid has become the digital hub for Southern Europe thanks to its strategic location within the Iberian Peninsula and the growth of investments in IT infrastructures. In fact, it is growing so fast that it is expected, in the coming years, to compete with the digital hubs in the FLAP market (named after the leading data centers markets in Europe: Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Paris).
The Spanish capital concentrates an ever-growing ecosystem of digital business, and a growing number of Internet Exchange Points and data centers to interconnect enterprises and users. Besides, thanks to the numerous submarine cables connecting the Iberian Peninsula with America, Africa and Europe, Madrid has established itself as one of the major data interconnection and distribution nodes within the region.
