TLP Tenerife 2025 is already underway. The most important technological event in Canarias has opened its doors at the Tenerife Fairgrounds, where thousands of young people will gather until 20th July to enjoy video games, innovation, Asian culture and limitless entertainment.
The official presentation of the event took place today with the participation of key institutional representatives such as Rosa Dávila, President of the Cabildo of Tenerife; Juan José Martínez, Councillor for Innovation; Alfonso Cabello, Vice-Councillor of the Presidency of the Government of Canarias; José Manuel Bermúdez, Mayor of Santa Cruz, and Idaira Febles, Director of TLP Tenerife.
Technology, training and youth employment
During the event, Rosa Dávila emphasized that TLP Tenerife not only offers entertainment but also “a gateway to new training and employment opportunities” for youth. She also highlighted that the event has returned to its original dates and is expected to surpass last year’s attendance figures.
For his part, Juan José Martínez thanked the efforts of the organizing team and the support from entities such as CanaLink, which is responsible for the event’s connectivity, and the Tenerife Science and Technology Park. He pointed out that TLP is a “great opportunity to attract gaming and animation industry to the island.”
Alfonso Cabello reinforced this vision: “Tenerife becomes the world capital of gaming for six days.” Furthermore, he reminded that the sector already has 40 companies and 200 jobs, as well as 38,000 young people training in related fields.
José Manuel Bermúdez described TLP as “one of the most important events for youth in Santa Cruz,” while Idaira Febles emphasized the event’s inclusive nature: “The Summer-Con area is designed for all audiences.”
