In recent years, Madrid has confidently moved beyond its role as an administrative center. The city has become a magnet for companies, startups, and investors looking not only for favorable conditions but also for a space to develop new ideas. A unique ecosystem is emerging here, where science, business, and modern technology come together.
On November 11, 2025, the capital will host a large-scale forum dedicated to regional development. Digitaliza Madrid will bring together government officials, business leaders, and major corporations to discuss how Madrid maintains its edge in innovation and attracts international projects. Among the participants are leading banks, tech giants, healthcare holdings, and developers.
Medicine and Biotechnology: A New Economic Driver
One of the main focuses of the forum will be the development of medicine and biotechnology. The city is rapidly expanding its network of modern clinics and research centers, while collaboration between universities and private companies enables the introduction of cutting-edge healthcare solutions. Experts will discuss how investments and new technologies are helping Madrid become one of Europe’s leaders in medicine and clinical research.
Particular attention will be given to neuroscience and biomedical startups. Participants will explore how the capital is creating conditions for new medical projects to emerge, as well as what opportunities are opening up for investors in this sector.
Digital Infrastructure and Technological Growth
The second section of the forum focuses on the development of the digital environment. Madrid is already being called the main digital hub of southern Europe. New data centers are being built here, AI-based solutions are being actively implemented, and the city’s infrastructure is becoming increasingly ‘smart.’ Representatives of major IT companies and startups will discuss how the capital supports the growth of tech businesses and what opportunities are opening up for international investors.
Key topics include business scaling, the development of data transmission networks, and creating a favorable environment for innovation. Forum participants will share their experience on how Madrid manages to compete with other European cities for the status of a technological leader.
Finance, Entrepreneurship, and Urban Transformation
The third section of the event is dedicated to the financial sector and supporting entrepreneurship. Banks and investment firms will talk about how they are becoming not just lenders, but true partners for businesses. They will discuss new financing tools, startup support, and sustainable development projects.
The forum will conclude with a discussion on urban transformation: development of the transportation system, new approaches to residential construction, and integrating sustainability principles into urban planning. Experts will explore how Madrid can maintain a balance between rapid economic growth, housing affordability, and environmental concerns.
The forum will conclude with a speech by a regional government representative, who will outline the priorities for developing the digital economy and emphasize the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors. Madrid continues to prove its ability not only to attract investment but also to create conditions for sustainable growth and innovation.
