Best Artificial Intelligence Companies in Spain

The 148 best Artificial Intelligence companies in Spain in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: FacePhi.

Spain's Artificial Intelligence sector is one of the more interesting places to watch right now, and this directory ranks the best AI companies in the country by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum. We're tracking 148 companies with $238M in total disclosed funding, no unicorns yet, but real signal underneath that headline number.

FacePhi is the outlier that explains the shape of this market. Its $58M in disclosed funding dwarfs everyone else, with Nymiz ($4M), Turing Dream ($10M), Methinks ($3M), and Galtea ($3M) clustered well behind. So where's the growth pressure coming from? Globally, the AI market sits at roughly $235.3B in 2024 and could reach $1.8T by 2030 at a 34.3% CAGR, driven by deep learning advances and data infrastructure buildout. Spain's ecosystem is catching that current, with hot themes in AI hardware, AI research frameworks, and threat intelligence sharing pulling attention from active backers like Europa, EIC Fund, and Lanzadera. Data privacy regulation adds a structural constraint you'll feel across almost every deal here, especially in health and identity applications. As AI democratization picks up pace globally, that regulatory friction may actually sharpen Spain's competitive edge in compliant, enterprise-ready AI.
