Barcelona, a hotspot for Monta's innovation

Expanding its footprint in Spain, Monta recently established a hub in Barcelona, positioning the city as a key launchpad for its operations. Demonstrating its commitment to the Spanish market, Monta will see a 270% increase in headcount, with a portion of the newly secured funds specifically earmarked to strengthen its operations.

Monta's choice of Barcelona as the location for its European hub is a strategic decision driven by the city's reputation as the 4th most innovative city in Europe. In addition to its innovation capabilities, Barcelona offers state-of-the-art laboratories and testing facilities, particularly in the field of connected and electric self-driving vehicles.

For a comprehensive overview of the connected vehicle sector in Catalonia, you can explore the Catalonia Industry Suppliers database, which showcases the region's contributions to this dynamic industry.

Beyond its technological appeal, Barcelona's cosmopolitan atmosphere is a magnet for entrepreneurs worldwide. Ranked the second most popular city in Europe to launch a startup, Barcelona boasts top universities, prestigious MBA programs, and a robust network of technology centers. This combination cultivates a pool of highly skilled professionals, both local and international, perfectly aligned with the needs of the connected vehicle industry.

The city's prominence in digitalization is evident in the fact that leading OEMs and tier-one companies have established their digital hubs and innovation labs in Catalonia. SEAT's digital hub, SEAT:CODE, is a notable example - a software development center designed to drive breakthrough mobility solutions.

Monta continues to be a driving force in the development of the electric and connected vehicle sector, and Barcelona serves as a beacon for innovation and growth in this dynamic industry.
