Reading time: 6–8 minutes

The creation of Andorra Digital, SA: what it means for the country and its business ecosystem

Digital transformation is not just about technology: it is about structure, vision and execution. With this in mind, Law 19/2025 establishes Andorra Digital, SA, a public company designed to lead the digital transformation of both the Government and the private sector.

This new framework opens a significant chapter in the country’s institutional modernisation, with an architecture aimed at accelerating projects, strengthening interoperability and enhancing Andorra’s international standing in the digital sphere.

Why has Andorra Digital, SA been created?

The law responds to an undeniable reality: the pace of technological change often outstrips the capacity of public administrations to adapt. Andorra has therefore chosen a model that is more agile, specialised and results-driven.

The new entity’s main objectives include:

• Accelerating the digital transformation of the public sector through robust technical and strategic capabilities.
• Supporting the digital maturity of the business community by providing tools, coordination and practical assistance.
• Ensuring a secure, reliable and interoperable digital framework aligned with international standards.

The ambition is clear: a more efficient Administration and a more competitive economy.

This approach aligns with the analysis in Andorra’s digital transformation: progress, challenges and the country’s new administrative model, which outlined the Government’s direction in this field.

Although the company will have relevant operational and technical capacity, it will not hold administrative decision-making power.

What functions will this new entity have?

🔹 Leading the digitalisation of the Administration

Andorra Digital, SA will act as an internal engine for public-sector transformation. Its main functions include:

• setting technological guidelines,
• defining security and interoperability standards,
• coordinating cross-departmental projects,
• providing technical support to Government departments,
• managing platforms, software and digital infrastructure.

All with one goal: a more efficient, automated and citizen-centred Administration.

🔹 Supporting the private sector and the wider business environment

Its impact on the private sector will be indirect, materialising through stronger digital infrastructure, better interoperability of public services, and improved capacity to attract technological talent and projects. Expected effects include:

• increased productivity through digital processes,
• promotion of innovation and new technologies,
• creation of a favourable environment for tech projects,
• development of international collaborations positioning Andorra as an attractive digital hub.

The aim is to create tangible opportunities for companies, entrepreneurs and digital professionals. The practical aspects of this support will need further development.

🔹 Strengthening digital security and trust

The company will work closely with the National Cybersecurity Agency to reinforce:

• risk prevention and incident response,
• data integrity,
• trust in critical infrastructure,
• the quality and consistency of public digital services.

In a country where more and more procedures — tax, administrative, banking and corporate — are completed online, this dimension is essential.

The elimination of the MIL is a good example of this strategic direction, discussed in Andorra’s digital transformation: progress, challenges and the country’s new administrative model.

How will Andorra Digital, SA operate?

🔹A public company governed by private law

Although publicly owned, it will operate with mercantile flexibility, allowing:

• greater autonomy,
• faster recruitment of experts and specialised services,
• efficient project development,
• partnership opportunities with public and private entities,
• quick adaptation to technological change without administrative rigidity.

🔹 Shareholding structure

The equity distribution is:

• 75% Government of Andorra
• 25% Andorra Telecom, SAU

A structure that reflects the strategic importance of the country’s digital infrastructure.

🔹 Corporate governance

The Board of Directors will consist of:

• three members appointed by the Government,
• one member appointed by Andorra Telecom.

Management will be entrusted to a specialist with recognised experience and integrity.

🔹 Revenue streams

The company’s income will come from:

• providing services to other public institutions,
• public subsidies,
• and, where appropriate, external financing.

What happens to the previous “Andorra Digital” unit?

Until now, Andorra Digital was an internal unit within the public-sector foundation Andorra Research and Innovation (ARI).

The new law provides for the full transfer of that unit: staff, projects, contracts, assets and all assigned resources are moved to Andorra Digital, SA.

The entire process is tax-exempt, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition.

A step forward in Andorra’s international positioning

The creation of Andorra Digital, SA sends a clear signal internationally: Andorra is committed to a modern, competitive and technologically driven economy.

It also complements other recent reforms aimed at digitalisation and the improvement of public services. To understand how this fits into the country’s broader evolution, International evolution of Andorra: from tradition to the global world provides a comprehensive perspective.

This law confirms Andorra’s continued commitment to internationalisation and advanced digital capabilities.

⭐ What does this mean for companies, entrepreneurs and residents?

Although the impact will not be immediate, the reform is expected to bring:

• A more efficient Administration → faster, digital processes instead of paper-based procedures.
• Enhanced technological infrastructure → greater confidence for investment and operations.
• Innovation momentum → opportunities for startups and tech initiatives.
• Reinforced security → stronger trust in public and private digital services.
• Institutional coordination → a single actor structuring the country’s digital transformation.

Overall, Andorra Digital, SA aims to create a solid, modern, future-oriented environment.

🔹 Is this a real change?

While the reform may appear to be a structural adjustment, its substance is deeper.

The creation of Andorra Digital, SA transforms a limited technical unit into a strategic structure with real execution capacity. It evolves from a support function — constrained in resources, governance and scope — into a public company governed by private law, with a national mandate, dedicated governance and the ability to deliver high-impact digital projects.

This shift allows the new entity to:

• act with greater agility,
• attract specialised talent,
• coordinate critical infrastructure,
• develop public–private partnerships,
• deploy technological solutions that were previously unfeasible.

In other words: it is no longer a consultative body — it is an operator that leads, deploys and executes.

This operational capacity — not the formal change — is what positions Andorra to meet its digital challenges in the coming years.

Conclusion

Law 19/2025 is not a simple organisational adjustment: it is a strategic decision that directly shapes the country’s competitiveness and its ability to navigate global technological shifts.
