Marbella Technology or Marbella Tecnologica (in Spanish) is a government project to meet new challenges of the municipality by facilitating a technology oriented environment.
Being one of the modern cities along the Costa del Sol that has been projected as a flagship town, the local authority has recognised to promote new technologies in the promotion of citizens and their living.
Geographical area, great climate, tourist facilities, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle have been driving force in building the present image of the city. Although Marbella is a model city for other Spanish region in terms of tourist value, it is also important to design and develop projects that in turn benefit the masses.
The development of Marbella as a prominent travel destination of southern Spain has certainly fuelled its economy, and at the same time the need to increase its competitiveness and enhance its image with overall expectation.
To attain the goal, the City is trying to promote an economy with information that facilitates creative projects, productive synergies, harmonization of the environment and access to public aids.
University education to own human resource and to attract the talent of overseas professionals, in addition to appropriate technological innovation, especially in the information and communication field, together creates key opportunities for Marbella to develop itself as a modern day Spanish city.
Under the project Marbella Technology, the primary objectives focus on technological invention and promotion, development of a good communication network, applied research in the areas of ICT and alternative energy, dissemination of information, and participation of civil society for sustainability and energy efficiency.
