The tech park in Seville surpasses all its historical records by reaching 602 companies and 35,806 workers, with a turnover of 6.125 billion euros. Councillor Jorge Paradela and Mayor José Luis Sanz present the data and announce an expansion of 140,000 square meters.
Sevilla TechPark, the scientific and technological park of the capital of Seville, has closed 2025 with the best figures in its history. The site, previously known as PCT Cartuja, has reached 602 installed companies and 35,806 direct jobs, according to data presented this Tuesday by the Councillor for University, Industry, Energy and Innovation of the Junta de Andalucía, Jorge Paradela, accompanied by the Mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, and the General Director of the park, Luis Pérez.
The economic activity generated by the park stood at 6.125 billion euros, an 11.1% increase compared to the previous year. This figure represents 2.62% of the Andalusian GDP and 13% of that of the province of Seville. Each of the installed companies generates an average of 59 jobs and invoices slightly more than 10 million euros.
Employment growth has been one of the most notable figures. The total workforce has increased by 13.07% compared to 2024, reaching 35,806 workers. Of these, 47% are graduates and 4% are doctors, reflecting a high qualification of the human capital. Additionally, young talent is gaining ground: 23% of professionals are under 30 years old.
The park consolidates itself as the leading one in Spain in economic activity and a benchmark in southern Europe, as highlighted by Paradela. Employment has doubled since 2018 and activity has grown by 157% during that period.
The international dimension is also continuing to strengthen. Currently, 56 entities have their headquarters abroad and 28 have foreign capital. Advanced technologies are the main driver of the park, with 304 companies of this type generating more than 20,500 jobs and 3.647 billion euros, 60% of the total of the site. The predominant sectors are Telecommunications and IT, Engineering, and Energy and Environment, with Energy and Cleantech being the most widespread specialization.
Innovation was key in 2025. Companies invested 515.3 million euros in R&D+i, of which 77% came from private sources. A total of 7,235 professionals were exclusively dedicated to this area, and 1,105 new projects were initiated, 30% more than the previous year. As a result, 22 patents were granted and 52 new products or services were developed.
Entrepreneurship is also a distinctive feature. The park hosted 81 startups and six spin-offs, in addition to 64 companies and projects housed in incubation and acceleration spaces, a 23% increase compared to 2024.
The next major challenge is the expansion of the site. Paradela indicated that plans are being considered to grow towards the old Expo Canal, whose land has been reclassified by the City Council for tertiary uses, and towards the West Band. Both options would add 140,000 square meters to meet the growing demand for technology and advanced service companies.
Additionally, the councillor announced that the park will soon tender the actions of the Public Procurement of Innovation (CPI) project, which will turn it into an urban innovation laboratory. The investment amounts to 19.8 million euros, financed by the Junta through the FEDER Andalucía 2021-2027 programme.
For Mayor José Luis Sanz, this data confirms Sevilla TechPark as a competitiveness engine that energizes the business fabric, diversifies the regional economy, and accelerates the transition towards a model based on innovation and knowledge. The park thus consolidates itself as a strategic pillar for the city and all of Andalusia.
