An ever-growing ecosystem

DFactory Barcelona continues to meet the objective of becoming the factory of the future, promoting and developing industry 4.0, new talent and new technologies and investments, in an unbeatable space. In this environment, technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, cybersecurity and blockchain, artificial intelligence or sensors give rise to a new way of producing, much more sustainable, generating synergies between companies and providing the possibility of establishing alliances with the rest of the organizations present in the building.

It is a project aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which facilitates the digitalisation of industry as a key lever for the ecological transition and promotes the circular economy by adopting new sustainable production and advanced manufacturing systems.

The ecosystem currently has facilities of 17,000m² on four floors, where more than 30 companies have already been installed and in which around 500 people work, figures that endorse its 85% occupancy. In addition, it is expected that this year the second phase of the emblematic building will be projected, a boost that will allow it to reach nearly 80.000 m² more in the coming years, so it will have almost 100.000 m². With this, it is expected that a total of 1.500 people will work directly and 5.000 indirectly.
