Living and working in Poblenou

Barcelona is much more than sun and sea. On its eastern coastline, the Poblenou neighborhood has transformed from an industrial zone into Europe's most innovative urban laboratory. This transformation, initiated by the 22@Barcelona urban project, has turned old factories into coworking spaces, tech hubs, and headquarters for major digital companies.

Today, more than 1,500 tech companies and startups coexist here with universities, research centers, and creative residencies. According to the Barcelona Digital Talent Report, 22@ houses 30% of the city's tech companies, including names like Amazon, HP, Glovo, NTT Data, and Oracle.

The streets of the district beat to the rhythm of innovation. Cafes with ultra-fast wifi, 24/7 gyms, healthy menu restaurants, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere make Poblenou a meeting point for designers, developers, creatives, digital consultants, and digital nomads.
