The acquisition underscores Ferrovial's commitment to capitalizing on the global boom in digital infrastructure investment. As demand for data processing and storage capacity continues to surge, driven by technological advancements and increasing digitalization, the need for sophisticated construction partners has never been greater. This strategic purchase positions Ferrovial to capture a larger share of this high-value market, aligning with its long-term growth strategy in specialized infrastructure sectors.
