Sun, beach and sangria - these are the typical associations that many people have with Mallorca. However, the island is increasingly becoming a hotspot for the tech scene and is attracting founders and investors from all over the world.
Numerous founders have pulled up stakes in Germany in recent months and moved to Mallorca with their families. They send their children to new international schools, network in co-working spaces or at privately organized entrepreneur meetings. Among them are a particularly large number of techies who either have their own company, earn money with crypto or are totally immersed in the topic of AI (artificial intelligence).
Incidentally, the German founders are not the only ones who have recognized Mallorca's potential as a tech hub. The number of start-ups on the Balearic Islands rose by 12 percent last year, and there were also over 20,000 new companies in the tech sector. The Balearic government is expecting an even higher figure for 2024.
What makes Mallorca so attractive for founders and investors? Firstly, the pleasant quality of life. The island offers a mild climate, beautiful landscapes and a relaxed atmosphere. Secondly, the good infrastructure. There are a number of coworking spaces, high-speed internet and a well-developed transport infrastructure.
The island is also an ideal place to find talent. The international school is just one example of how Mallorca attracts many young, well-educated people.
All of these factors are contributing to Mallorca becoming one of the most important tech hubs in Europe. In the coming years, the scene will continue to grow and turn the island into the "Miami of Europe".
Claus von Benz Immobilien keeps a close eye on the development of the tech scene. "We are seeing great demand for real estate from founders and investors," says René Reuschenbach. "The island offers them everything they need to be successful and experience a lifestyle to match."
So if you are looking for a new home for yourself and your company, you should definitely consider Mallorca. The island has a lot to offer: Sun, beach, culture - and a thriving tech and start-up scene.
