The president and CEO of Siemens AG, Roland Busch, has announced that the company will invest 160 million euros for the creation of a new “smart” campus in the residential area of ??Las Tablas, in the north of Madrid. The building will house the company’s new headquarters in Spain.
The new enclave, which will be operational at the end of 2028, will have 22,000 square meters of offices, garden areas and services. Until then, Siemens will maintain its headquarters in Tres Cantos.
Likewise, the company has detailed that it has the objective of converting the building, which will be near the future axis of Madrid Nuevo Norte, into a “benchmark” for intelligent, digital and carbon-neutral infrastructure. In addition, the new complex will offer a “flexible”, “inclusive” work environment accessible by different modes of public transport, the CEO explained yesterday.
Siemens sees in this new headquarters the stamp of its commitment to Spain, a country where the company has been based for 128 years. More specifically, he claims to confirm his “vocation of permanence and of becoming a key actor for the growth and transformation of the country.”
The company also placed emphasis on underlining its commitment to the digital and sustainable transformation of its clients and on helping the Spanish economy to successfully materialize the boost that European funds can give to its economic model.
“This decision, in addition to reinforcing our commitment to Spain, as Roland Busch has indicated, also reflects the company’s main purpose, which is to transform people’s day-to-day lives”, commented the president and CEO of Siemens Spain, Agustín escobar.
In this sense, Escobar defended the need to develop, from the perspective of digitization, “radical” changes in people’s way of life, in the way of relating to the environment or in “more efficient and respectful” manufacturing.
