Sovereign AI push: AMEC (Swiss multilateral platform) and Andorra’s ASC Group SL signed an MoU to expand sovereign AI, sovereign cloud, data-centre and public-sector digital transformation, with an initial focus on Eastern/Central Europe and East/Southern Africa. Data infrastructure financing: In parallel, OCTOPiAN and ASC Group/AiTEK FACTORY agreed project support and investment for a planned 25–50 MW sovereign data centre in Andorra, including a pre-agreed credit line of up to €750m, with work now coordinated with Andorran authorities. EU market ties: The EU Council approved conclusions to strengthen relations with non-EU Western European partners, explicitly including Andorra, aiming for a more homogeneous extended internal market and shared stability. Cross-border relocation costs: A new book, Quiet Capitals, compares the practical 10-year cost of property, residency and tax for ultra-high-net-worth families relocating to Spain, Andorra and Monaco, highlighting tight Spanish filing deadlines. Travel compliance hits consumers: Multiple UK travellers were turned away at airports after passport “issue date” rules (post-Brexit) left them unable to board and facing near-£1k extra costs.
