“The Barcelona Talent Map highlights the diversity and balance of the digital sector, with 29% of professionals coming from the business and legal fields, 12% from the humanities and 15% from the creative sectors, complementing the remaining 44% from scientific, technical and digital disciplines. Therefore, it shows the great attractiveness of this sector in Barcelona, while at the same time, unfortunately, it also shows that it is necessary to incorporate much more female talent, and this is one of the priorities of the Barcelona City Council”.

Felix Ortega – General Director of Barcelona Activa
