Babel is an IT and digital transformation services provider focused on large organizations and public bodies. It helps clients modernize systems, implement digital solutions, and navigate technology change through a services-led approach delivered by its consulting and delivery teams.

Babel’s “Hyperspace 2029” plan aims to reach 1 billion euros in turnover by 2029 through a combination of organic growth and further acquisitions, supported by a stronger balance sheet.

Babel acquires Anadat and strengthens its presence in the Spanish market. * 5 March 2026 With this transaction, Babel adds more than 200 new professionals specialised in the management of complex infrastructures and multi-cloud services, key capabilities to reinforce the company's sector-focused strategy, particularly in telecommunications and banking, where Babel already has a strong presence. Babel, a Spanish multinational technology company specialising in digital transformation solutions, announces the acquisition and integration of Anadat Technology, a Madrid-based company with more than 200 professionals. Anadat specialises in infrastructure management, cloud services in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and advanced SOC operations, delivering services to top-tier clients. The transaction brings Babel's total workforce to nearly 4,000 employees, strengthening its position in the Spanish market and enhancing its footprint in strategic sectors such as telecommunications and banking, where the company already has a solid presence and leading references. With this integration, Babel expands and accelerates its infrastructure and cloud management offering, covering everything from migration and modernisation of environments to the 24x7 operation of hybrid and multi-cloud platforms, supported by automation, AIOps and efficiency models such as FinOps. The deal also reinforces Babel's strategic alliances with global technology partners including AWS and Microsoft. The acquisition is part of the Hyperespacio 2029 Plan, through which the company aims to consolidate its position as a leading technology player in the countries where it operates. Anadat brings over 20 years of experience and a value proposition focused on the continuity, efficiency and scalability of complex technological environments, both on-premise and in the cloud, serving large enterprises and highly regulated industries. Its managed services model, supported by automation, AIOps and predictive analytics, enables the anticipation of incidents and the reduction of operational risks. "This integration allows us to continue strengthening our capabilities while preserving our identity, nurturing and empowering our people, and building a shared culture from day one," said Tony Olivo, CEO of Babel. "We want Anadat's professionals to find in Babel a long-term project with vision and professional growth opportunities, and for their clients to benefit from a provider offering the same level of quality with greater robustness and a broader range of services." Marcos Carbonero, CEO and co-founder of Anadat Technology, added: "Joining a company with Babel's track record opens the door to new growth opportunities. We share what matters most, the same way of understanding technology and, above all, the value of people as the cornerstone of the project." The acquisition forms part of Babel's expansion strategy, which combines organic growth with inorganic operations. As with previous integrations, the company will implement a phased process of approximately 12 months to align brand, systems, processes, policies and culture, with the aim of continuing to build a single company capable of delivering increasingly high-quality and diversified services to its clients. With this transaction, Babel begins 2026 continuing its growth trajectory and reinforcing its commitment to incorporating differentiated capabilities in infrastructure, cloud services and advanced operations, key areas for the Spanish market. The company will remain active on the inorganic growth front, supported by a strong pipeline and several promising opportunities currently under evaluation for potential completion during the current financial year.
Babel strengthens its presence in Colombia with the acquisition of Meraki. From left to right: Pablo Argáiz, Corporate M&A Director at Babel; Angélica Garzón, Founding Partner of Meraki; Evelyn González, Head of the Legal Department at Babel; and Christian Rojas, Founding Partner of Meraki. * This operation strengthens the company's presence in Latin America, a key region for its international expansion strategy. * Meraki has more than 120 professionals specialized in cutting-edge technologies for solutions in the banking sector. * Babel thus continues its growth and expansion based on a combination of organic growth and strategic inorganic operations. Babel, a Spanish-origin multinational technology company specializing in digital transformation solutions, announces the acquisition of the Colombian technology firm Meraki. With this operation, the company strengthens its presence in Colombia, one of the most important markets in Latin America, gaining greater operational capacity and expanding its service network in the country - particularly in strategic sectors such as financial services. In doing so, it reinforces its model of supporting global clients from different countries through consolidated local structures. With the integration of the Meraki team, the group now has a global workforce of over 3,500 people, reinforcing its inorganic growth strategy, which adds to the other five acquisitions carried out over the past four years. Alongside Babel's service offering, Meraki brings extensive expertise in banking technologies. In this field, it operates along two main lines: providing professional services with training or experience in financial platforms (APX Online and Batch, ASO, Seemas, DataX, Control M, Host, and Cells) and developing tailor-made projects in these environments. Its team masters both advanced systems and legacy technologies under Datapower. The integration of Meraki follows the model that Babel applies to all its acquisitions: a comprehensive integration process over a period of 12 to 18 months, during which all processes, policies, procedures, KPIs, brand, and systems are unified. The goal is to create a single, unified company that operates as one team with one culture. This model, already proven in previous Babel acquisitions, once again plays a key role in an initiative that further strengthens the company's position in Latin America. "The incorporation of the Meraki team into Babel consolidates our presence in Colombia and confirms our commitment to the country. Moreover, it further enhances our technological capabilities in the financial sector, where Babel is already a reference. This is a milestone within our Hyperspace 2029 Strategic Plan, which focuses, among other aspects, on international growth in the countries where we already operate, positioning us as leaders in the ICT sector. We are very excited about this operation and the opportunities it opens up for us in Colombia, one of the countries with the greatest potential in Latin America." Angélica Garzón, founding partner of Meraki, adds: "Being part of Babel allows us to take a step forward in our evolution as a company." Christian Rojas, also a founding partner of Meraki, adds: "We are convinced that this integration will open up new opportunities both for our teams and for our clients." Babel thus strengthens its position as a partner in accelerating digital transformation across the region and as a driver of Colombian ICT talent. The company plans to close one or two more deals this year in other regions, in line with its inorganic growth strategy.
Babel and Claroty have held the 1st Industrial Cybersecurity Conference, a leading forum in which prominent experts from the industrial sector shared experiences, knowledge and new strategies to address the growing challenges in the security and resilience of critical infrastructures.
For 2025, Babel announced the launch of its new strategic plan, 'Hyperspace Plan 2029,' which combines sustained double-digit annual organic growth with an acquisition and integration strategy, allowing the company to multiply its current numbers by five in approximately five years.
