Adamo maintains a strong presence in the retail market but also serves 15,000 small and medium-sized enterprises and freelancers. Many of these businesses require industrial spaces to operate, so the company already supplies fiber optic connections of up to 1 Gb to 260 industrial parks spread across almost all of the mainland autonomous communities.
Most of these facilities share a common characteristic: they are located in villages, small towns, remote areas, and regions with limited communications infrastructure. In other words, these 260 industrial parks are situated in what is known as Spain’s depopulated areas, territory home to nearly two million residents. According to experts’ estimates, this figure already accounts for a quarter of the total rural population, which is approximately eight million people.
In this context, connectivity emerges as a key factor for the future of industrial parks, especially those hosting small and medium-sized enterprises. The difference between having or lacking good communications can significantly impact their development. For example, in inland regions like Aragón and Castilla y León, up to 30% of industrial parks remain unoccupied or vacant. In many cases, this situation is linked to the absence of fiber optic infrastructure and unreliable telephone signals.
Faced with this reality, Adamo decided years ago to take on the challenge of deploying fiber optic networks in the most underserved areas. Since then, the company has committed to serving less populated, poorly connected areas with the greatest need for reliable internet. This strategy also considers industrial activity, SMEs, and family businesses, thereby strengthening its position in rural environments with the rollout across those 260 parks.
The company also highlights that, whenever the SMEs located within each complex request it, they can offer ultra-fast connections of up to 1 Gb. This capacity—commonly available in major cities like Madrid and Barcelona—is now also accessible in these industrial enclaves situated in rural areas.
The expansion of fiber optic networks into these business spaces is seen as a vital tool to prevent the closure of local businesses in many Spanish villages. This technology enables SMEs to expand their markets, explore new niches, attract and retain customers, buy and sell online, hold remote meetings, and ultimately stay connected to the world.
