Core offering

PTA operates and manages the Málaga TechPark (Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía), a public-private technology park hosting 715+ companies and 29,018 employees. Its core offering is the provision of physical office, laboratory, and industrial space for lease or sale to technology and R&D companies, complemented by an innovation ecosystem (Innovation HUB), talent programs, professional meeting rooms, food and catering facilities, urban conservation services (EUC), and international cooperation programs. The park is structured as a real estate and ecosystem-services platform rather than a unified software product, anchored by institutional shareholders (Junta de Andalucía, Ayuntamiento de Málaga, Unicaja, Universidad de Málaga) and by strategic tenants including imec's first Spanish chip design centre.
