Facebook owner Meta Platform said it will hire 2,000 people over the next five years in Spain.
The 2,000 employees will mainly staff the company’s first lab, a flexible base for its remote workers, in Madrid, Javier Olivan, Vice President Cross-Meta Products and Infrastructure, said.
Spain will become an important link for Meta’s development in Europe as its two subsea cables connecting the region with the Americas and Africa will land in Spain and the company plans to build a data centre in Castile-La Mancha in central Spain.
Meta will also establish a Metaverse Innovation Hub in collaboration with local telecoms firm Telefonica.
