Mayor José Luis Sanz has presented the annual report of Sevilla TechPark, revealing that the park has generated 50% of the jobs created in the capital between 2023 and 2025.
The technology park of Cartuja, Sevilla TechPark, has been responsible for half of the jobs generated in the Andalusian capital over the last three years. This was revealed on Wednesday by the Mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, during the presentation of the annual report of the facility, which consolidates the city as a hub of innovation in southern Europe.
According to data provided by the City Council, the park concentrates high value-added activities in areas such as engineering, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, digitalisation, advanced industry, and technological services. Sanz emphasised that these figures “transcend a mere economic result” and reflect a growth model that is “more solid, more competitive, and more diversified.”
The mayor highlighted Sevilla TechPark's ability to retain local talent and attract professionals from outside. “A city progresses when it can retain the talent it trains and, at the same time, attract talent from outside. That is exactly what is happening in Seville,” he stated during his speech.
The annual report comes at a time when the City Council is promoting several initiatives in the Cartuja area to modernise infrastructure, improve mobility, and renew public spaces. Among them is the upcoming intervention in the Expo Canal, which, according to Sanz, will allow “a Cartuja prepared to continue growing without losing what makes it unique: its ability to combine science, business, heritage, and innovation.”
For the residents of Seville, this news reinforces the qualified job offer, especially for young graduates from Seville's universities, who find in the park a professional outlet without having to emigrate. Moreover, the dynamism of employment in the technology sector contributes to diversifying the local economy, traditionally linked to tourism and services.
The mayor insisted that the role of the City Council is to create a favourable environment for investment and innovation, and he argued that the results of Sevilla TechPark demonstrate that the city “is ready to compete successfully in the knowledge economy.”
Sevilla TechPark, located on the island of Cartuja, hosts more than 400 companies and generates around 20,000 direct jobs, according to data from the park itself. The complete annual report has been presented to representatives of the business and academic sectors, and new expansion projects are expected to be announced in the coming months.
