Global Switch Madrid Empowers the Next Generation of Tech Professionals

Release date: 28.01.2025

We are delighted to share an initiative that reflects our commitment to education and the future of the technology sector. Global Switch Madrid recently organised an open house for IT and Engineering students from IES Valle Inclán de Torrejón de Ardoz - allowing them to experience firsthand the infrastructure that powers the digital economy.

Strategically located in the heart of Madrid's Silicon Alley, adjacent to the A-2 highway, our data centre represents the backbone of the region's digital transformation. During the visit, students were able to explore state-of-the-art infrastructure supporting cloud services, advanced liquid cooling systems, enterprise-level security protocols, and high-power density solutions for HPC and AI projects.

Global Switch Madrid has been leading the sector for 25 years, and this educational outreach program demonstrates our dedication to sharing knowledge, developing local talent and fostering the next generation of digital infrastructure professionals. At a time when the demand for specialised data centre professionals is soaring, we consider it essential to build bridges between education and industry.

Furthermore, we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth in the region as we announce the development of our new campus.
