Communications

With satellite coverage and since it is perfectly connected through the underwater fibre optic cable, the Canary Islands is the ideal destination to set up information and communication technology (ICT) related businesses.

Moreover, with the establishment of the first neutral interconnection point to Internet for Africa, the islands became a platform from which to accelerate the development of these technologies in the neighbouring continent as well.

Highly qualified human capital with extensive national and international experience. Telecommunications, microelectronics and software engineering are three sectors with ample investment opportunities on the Canary Islands
