The Madrid Regional Community, under the leadership of Digitalization Councilor Miguel López-Valverde Argüeso, reaffirms its commitment to digitalization and entrepreneurship, betting on innovation as the engine of economic growth and social cohesion. The objective of this new call is to consolidate the Madrid region as a national and European reference in innovation, entrepreneurship, and the generation of quality employment.
