Digital, AI and Data
Technology services for businesses are evolving toward increasingly global, specialized, and efficient models, enabling organizations to optimize resources, enhance competitiveness, and focus on activities that generate the greatest value. At the same time, the outsourcing of non-strategic functions and processes has become a key practice for increasing operational agility, reducing costs, and accelerating business growth.

Audiovisual Sector
Numerous activities linked to the audiovisual sector can be carried out within the framework of the Canary Islands Special Zone, spanning the entire value chain—from production to distribution, including post-production, visual effects (VFX), and a wide range of specialized technical services. This ecosystem encompasses the creation of feature films, short films, documentaries, television series, animation projects, and video games, thereby consolidating a comprehensive environment for the audiovisual industry.

Marine and maritime sector
The presence of key service providers from the marine and maritime sector in the Canary Islands—combined with their accumulated experience and growing specialization—solidifies the archipelago’s status as a strategic hub in the Mid-Atlantic. This ecosystem encompasses a wide range of activities, from port services, maritime logistics, and ship repair to engineering, maintenance, supply, and specialized technical support.
