This strategic macro-project, planned for Ribera d'Ebre, would not only boost the technological and economic fabric of the province but also be fundamental for the continent's security. The ability to manage, control, and protect data has become a growing asset, closely linked to protection and digital sovereignty, a key concept for security experts.
“"Achieving the gigafactory here would be decisive, because it would provide enormous strategic value to guarantee data defense, strengthen digital sovereignty, and ensure artificial intelligence services at a European scale."
A country's security is no longer measured solely by military power but also by its capacity to protect information. This trend seeks autonomous systems to avoid dependence on third parties, especially in a changing geopolitical context. Technological empowerment thus becomes more important than ever to prevent vulnerabilities.
In addition to Móra la Nova, the Generalitat has identified five potential data center projects in the province of Tarragona. Both the Camp de Tarragona and the Terres de l'Ebre are emerging as territorial hubs to attract and install these infrastructures, considered key for economic growth and technological sovereignty. Baix Camp leads with two initiatives, followed by Conca de Barberà with one, and Ribera d'Ebre and Montsià with one each, confirming the region's strength in this strategic sector.
