Malaga Valley – Where Tech is Flourishing.

Gecko Towers

Thursday last week I was with a couple of my Biznaga Partners colleagues Biznaga Partners at an Innovation Hub in Malaga.

One of a number of such centers springing up around the city. An informed, educated and active audience of entrepreneurs, who come from all over the world, and are leading the charge in the embryonic Malaga start-up ecosystem.

At the same time, only a block away, Google was inaugurating its stylish new European Cyber Security Centre. This is a massive vote of confidence in the Malaga Valley (as the region and its developing tech offer is starting to be called) from one of the leaders in the revolution that spawned Silicon Valley.

My prediction that businesses like Leed’s born cyber security specialist, Blackdice, who recently decided to make Málaga its permanent home, will recognize the huge advantages of settling in the heart of this new tech region. Embracing the quality of life offered to staff and their families in this blessed corner of Europe. Not to mention the access to European grant funding to help an entrepreneurial dream to grow into a fully formed business.

Even the UK redtop, the usually Eurosceptic, pro-UKIP and pro-ERG, Daily Express, has admitted that Malaga is a “relaxed” European city offering the “perfect new life” and a reasonable cost of living. I know that the Rejoin campaign to reverse Brexit is growing exponentially in the UK but it is a genuine surprise that the Express seems to be encouraging its readers to vote with their feet!
