Quantexa Signs First Office Lease at Kadans Science Partner's Node I in Málaga

MÁLAGA, Spain — Sept. 3, 2026 — Quantexa has signed the first office lease at Node I, Kadans Science Partner's deep-tech hub at Málaga TechPark, the two companies announced Wednesday. The deal formally launches the building's innovation community and positions the 12,000-square-meter facility as a focal point for advanced technology activity in southern Spain.
First Tenant at Node I Signals Start of Leasing Ramp-Up
Node I, which opened in April 2026 at Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía in the Campanillas district of Málaga, offers approximately 129,000 square feet of laboratory, cleanroom and office space across three floors. Kadans Science Partner, a European developer and manager of innovation real estate, designed the building specifically for knowledge-intensive organizations working in microelectronics, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software development and digital innovation.
Quantexa, a global Decision Intelligence software company, will use the Málaga office to support its continued growth across Southern Europe and to deepen collaboration with customers, partners and regional technology talent. The company cited Node I's flexible infrastructure — including adaptable utilities, ceiling heights and specialized installations — as a key factor in its decision, along with the building's central location within Málaga TechPark and the opportunity to customize the space around its own culture and values.
"Welcoming the very first tenant to Node I is a significant milestone for Kadans," said Miguel Muñoz, Kadans head of Spain. "Quantexa perfectly represents the type of innovative, international technology company we envisioned when developing this building. Their arrival marks the beginning of a collaborative innovation community that will continue to grow and strengthen Málaga's position as one of Europe's leading technology clusters."
Quantexa's Regional Site Lead, Flabio Costa, echoed that framing. "While Node I's central location within Málaga TechPark was a key factor in our decision, it was the opportunity to shape the space around Quantexa's unique culture and values that made it the ideal home for our next chapter," Costa said.
Node I: Purpose-Built Deep-Tech Infrastructure
Node I represents an investment of between €25 million and €32 million, with Kadans describing the project as the first of two planned advanced-technology buildings at Málaga TechPark. At full occupancy, the building is designed to accommodate approximately 800 professionals across an anticipated 20 to 25 tenant firms. Kadans has indicated it expects the building to reach roughly 40 percent occupancy by the end of 2026, with several firms already signed and others in advanced negotiations.
The facility is part of Kadans Science Partner's broader European network of science and innovation clusters. Beyond standard office space, Node I provides access to laboratory and cleanroom capacity, shared meeting rooms, informal collaboration zones and high-specification building systems.
Kadans designed Node I to connect tenants with researchers, entrepreneurs, institutions and academic organizations active in microelectronics, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity — sectors that align directly with Quantexa's Decision Intelligence platform, which is applied in financial crime detection, risk management and data analytics.
Málaga TechPark as a Regional Technology Cluster
Málaga TechPark, formally known as Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía, has emerged as a growing hub for international technology companies seeking a base in Southern Europe. Node I adds purpose-built deep-tech infrastructure to an ecosystem that includes a concentration of technology firms, research institutions and engineering talent.
Kadans has framed Málaga as a strategic location for companies seeking proximity to Southern European customers and talent pools, particularly in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors.
With Quantexa established as Node I's first tenant, Kadans said the building will continue to grow its community of technology companies, researchers and innovators in the months ahead.
