A1 Digital, the B2B digital services subsidiary of the A1 Telekom Austria Group, has announced its entry into the Spanish market with a sovereign cloud service.

The company, which formally established A1 Digital Spain in early 2026, views Spain as a strategic market due to the growth of its digital economy. As part of its expansion, it plans to deploy its own cloud infrastructure in the country, expand its local team, and develop a network of technology partners.

A1 Digital’s offering is centered around Exoscale, its European Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, built on open-source technologies and with infrastructure located entirely in Europe.

According to the company, this approach aims to offer an alternative to large international providers through a platform designed to ensure control over data and reduce technological dependence on solutions based on third-party intellectual property.

“Digital sovereignty has already reached the boardroom. Companies want to decide what data they control, where it is stored, and under what regulatory framework they operate,” said Elisabetta Castiglioni, CEO of A1 Digital International.

In addition to its cloud business, A1 Digital is launching in Spain with an IoT Managed Connectivity offering, aimed at connectivity projects for industrial assets, sensor networks, smart metering, transportation, energy, and healthcare.

“Spain is one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe and a natural gateway to Latin America. It was the next logical step in our European expansion. We are here to invest in local infrastructure, build our own team, and create a partner ecosystem that drives a digitally sovereign Europe,” added Castiglioni.
