A strategic sector for the Canary Islands
The technology sector is consolidating itself as one of the key drivers for the economic diversification of the Canary Islands. In the last year, 35% of new establishments in the archipelago have been in this field, also being the sector that has generated the most employment. Participation in events such as the Web Summit reinforces its position as a generator of talent and quality employment in a globalized environment.
