GlobalLogic, which specialises in digital engineering, on Tuesday (January 17) announced plans to open new engineering centres in Spain. The Hitachi Group Company helps its clients offer digital transformative services by combining experience design, complex software engineering and data engineering.
As per the company, the Spain centres will represent GlobalLogic’s first sites in Southwest Europe, adding to more than 20 existing EMEA locations across nine other countries.
Nitesh Banga, President, and CEO of GlobalLogic made the announcement during a meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

“To be able to plant roots in a country that publicly embraces digital transformation, and to harness the exceptional talent in Spain to meet our shared objectives is incredibly exciting. Further, we are grateful for the warm welcome and incredible support of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s administration throughout the process,” said Banga.
What will these centres do?
These centres will provide design-led digital engineering services to global and Spanish clients in both on-site and off-site support models. As per the company, Spain emerged as a key location for GlobalLogic and it got help from the government’s public commitment to the digital transformation of its economy laid out in the Digital Spain 2026 (España Digital) agenda.

“Establishing a footprint in Spain provides GlobalLogic access to the country’s highly capable software engineering talent. It also enables the company to bring its unique digital engineering capabilities, best practices, and industry expertise to top Spanish brands seeking experienced partners for their digital transformations,” the company said in a statement.
Where will the centres be?
For its Spain operations, GlobalLogic is considering several target cities, including Valencia and Malaga for a 2023 launch. Madrid and Tarragona are on the company’s long-term roadmap. The company will seek to hire Software Architects and Engineers, Designers, Data Scientists, and other professionals. GlobalLogic anticipates creating a workforce of up to 2,500 to 3,000 professionals over the next three years through local hiring and potential acquisitions.
