If you thought Spain’s technological future was being decided solely in Madrid or Barcelona, look towards the Ebro River. Aragon is executing a master plan driven by multi-billion euro investments, and its physical heart has a name: DAT Alierta (Aragon Technology District).

Located in Zaragoza, this district is not a distant promise; it is a reality in expansion with committed investments already exceeding €300 million.

What exactly is DAT Alierta?

It is the physical answer to the «Cloud.» While giants like AWS and Microsoft invest billions to build the data centers that process information, DAT Alierta houses the companies and brains that manage that infrastructure.

It is not a traditional industrial park; it is an ecosystem designed under the concept of «radical collaboration». Its goal is to unite three worlds in one physical space: Industry, Research, and Talent.

The power map: who is already inside?

As of today, tenant confirmations demonstrate the district’s firepower. These are the key players who have already reserved their spot:

• Integra Tecnología (the local champion): has confirmed a historic €25 million investment to build its new 8,000 sqm corporate headquarters. Their goal is to create 500 jobs and lead in strategic consulting and AI.
• Siemens (the global giant): becomes the first multinational to settle in the business building. Their mission is to create a tech hub specialized in Data Centers and Digital Twins for all of Spain.
• CIRCE (energy): is projecting its new headquarters with a €20 million investment. They will be the brain researching energy efficiency and microgrids necessary for data sustainability.
• ITA (intelligence): the Aragon Institute of Technology is expanding with an €18 million building focused on AI and applied robotics.

Why now? The «ETC» formula

Aragon has convinced investors thanks to three factors that no other European region combines quite like this, known as the «ETC» formula:

1. Energy: the region possesses massive renewable generation capacity (wind) critical for data center sustainability.
2. Talent: a huge flow of engineers thanks to the University of Zaragoza and a robust Vocational Training system, now physically integrated into the district.
3. Connectivity: a premium logistics location complemented by world-class digital connectivity.

Conclusion: DAT Alierta is where the abstract investment of the cloud touches the ground. If you are a tech company, an investor, or an engineer, your future in the coming decade will pass through these coordinates.
