One in four workers at the Sevilla technology park is under 30 years old, according to the 2025 results report. The proportion of young people has increased by three points in just one year.

The Sevilla technology park, Sevilla TechPark, continues to attract young talent. According to the results report for 2025, 23% of the direct employees at the site are under 30, three points more than the previous year. This means that one in four jobs is held by individuals younger than that age.

The report, prepared by the managing company of the park, highlights that the age group of 30 to 50 years remains the majority, accounting for 55% of the workforce, although it has decreased by one point compared to 2024. Meanwhile, those over 50 have reduced their presence from 24% to 22%, consolidating a downward trend.

“This adjustment is accompanied by an increase in the participation of the under-30 age group, which reaches 23% in 2025, reflecting a shift towards a greater presence of young profiles within the workforce,” the document states.

Sevilla TechPark, a legacy of the 1992 Universal Exposition, hosts over 600 companies that generate nearly 36,000 direct jobs and an economic activity of 6.125 billion euros, representing 2.6% of the Andalusian GDP and 13% of that of the province of Sevilla. Each day, around 40,000 people commute to the site, many of whom are students from the nearby universities, which total over 10,000 young individuals.

The Advanced Technologies area, which encompasses more than half of the companies in the park (Telecommunications and Computing, Engineering, Energy, and Environment), is where the rejuvenation is most pronounced. In this sector, those under 30 now account for 26% of the workforce, up from 21% the previous year. Conversely, those over 50 now represent 15%.

The report emphasizes that the park is consolidating as “a dynamic and diverse environment,” with a progressive attraction of young profiles that compensates for the exit of older workers. This trend, according to management sources, responds to a focus on innovative sectors and collaboration with nearby universities.

For the residents of the capital and the metropolitan area, Sevilla TechPark is emerging as a stable employment hub for new generations, with a job offer that prioritizes technology and higher education. The park, which was the first of its kind in Spain, maintains its leadership in southern Europe.

The complete 2025 report also details that the aggregate turnover of the companies in the park grew by 4% compared to the previous year, although no specific figures are provided per company. The park's management anticipates that the trend of rejuvenation will continue in the coming years, driven by digitalization and the demand for STEM profiles.
