A1 Digital Takes the Next Step in Its European Expansion in Spain

With this move, the company is continuing its expansion in Western Europe. Spain was chosen due to its economic dynamism, the strength of its technology ecosystem, and its position as a gateway to the Latin American market. A1 Digital has been serving customers worldwide for nearly a decade and currently has offices in Spain, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

In Spain, A1 Digital is focusing on two business areas: Exoscale, a European IaaS cloud platform based on open source, and “IoT Managed Connectivity,” a global offering of managed connectivity solutions for machine-to-machine communication as well as IoT solutions for a range of vertical industries. This offering is complemented by the local team’s SAP expertise, which is particularly relevant for Spanish companies.

A1 Digital is entering the Spanish market with concrete development plans: The company plans to build its own cloud infrastructure in Spain and is already advertising technical and sales positions in the country. In addition, A1 Digital is offering local partners programs for reselling managed connectivity services and is giving IT service providers and SaaS companies the opportunity to actively help shape the cloud ecosystem.

“Digital sovereignty has reached the boardroom level,” explains Dr. Elisabetta Castiglioni, CEO of A1 Digital International. “It’s about companies making informed and deliberate decisions about which data and intellectual property they want to control—and where. Our Exoscale Cloud exists precisely for this reason—technically mature and regulatory-compliant. And we designed it back in 2017, long before this debate even existed.”

A European Response to Digital Sovereignty

With Exoscale, A1 Digital offers a European alternative to American cloud providers: “Sovereign by Design” with infrastructure located 100 percent in Europe, a technology stack based entirely on open source, and no dependence whatsoever on third-party intellectual property. The platform holds key industry certifications, including ISO 27001, CSA Star, PCI DSS 3.2, and TISAX, and provides its customers with full access to the certification protocols as a guarantee of operational transparency.

Managed Connectivity and IoT at an Industrial Scale

A1 Digital’s managed connectivity offering complements its cloud portfolio with solutions for managed connectivity and IoT for industrial facilities, vehicle fleets, smart metering, and industry-specific solutions in the energy, industrial, transportation, and healthcare sectors. The company has demonstrated its expertise in numerous large-scale projects: Its international references include the networking of 16,000 freight cars for the Austrian Federal Railways and the connection of more than one million measurement points in long-standing smart metering projects. This cloud offering is complemented by key Exoscale customers such as the public health departments of Frankfurt am Main and the state of Hesse, as well as “Trusted Healthcare” with Miranext and Capito.ai from Germany, which offers a solution for inclusion through language simplification. Both of the latter companies use the AI infrastructure of the A1 Digital Cloud Exoscale.

Spain: A Strategic Market and Gateway to Latin America

“Spain is one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies and, at the same time, a natural gateway to Latin America,” said Castiglioni. “It was the logical next step in our European expansion. We’re here to build something good: through investments in local infrastructure, with our own team, and with partners who share our vision of a digitally empowered, sovereign Europe.”
