Aragon has ceased to be «flyover territory» to become a magnet for technological investment. But for a startup founder, the critical question is not just «why Aragon?», but «where exactly?».

The region has consolidated a network of technology hubs based on smart specialization. Launching an agrotech app is not the same as prototyping an electric vehicle. Here we analyze the three major ecosystems to help you decide.

1. Walqa (Huesca): the consolidated hub (ICT and Biotech).

Located in Huesca, it is a mature ecosystem that already houses more than 84 companies and 830 jobs.

• Its DNA: historically focused on Information Technology (ICT) and Biotechnology.
• Advantages: offers robust incubation infrastructure and consolidated coworking spaces. Additionally, its connection to the data economy is reinforced by the arrival of an AWS center in its vicinity.
• Ideal for: software, agrotech, or biotech startups looking for quality of life and a proven business environment.

2. TechnoPark MotorLand (Teruel): the automotive niche.

Located in Alcañiz, it is an example of hyper-specialization integrated into a world-class racetrack.

• Its DNA: unequivocally linked to motorsport, automotive, and mechanical engineering.
• Advantages: it offers not just offices, but «incubator warehouses» and direct access to test tracks for homologation and R&D.
• Ideal for: electric mobility, automotive component, or engineering startups that need a physical «test bench».

3. DAT Alierta (Zaragoza): the data & deep tech epicenter.

This is the next-generation project located in the capital, designed to lead the digital economy.

• Its DNA: high Tech, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Industry 4.0.
• Advantages: «radical Collaboration.» It is the only place where giants like Siemens, consultancies like Integra, the University of Zaragoza, and CEEI Aragon coexist in the same precinct.
• Ideal for: deep tech startups (AI, SaaS, IoT) looking to scale by selling to large corporations or integrating into the Data Center value chain.

Conclusion:

Aragon has a place for you. If your project lives in code and data, CEEI Aragon in the heart of DAT Alierta is waiting for you.
