The regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, highlighted the region's investment appeal after it was revealed that 2,615 new companies were established in February, accounting for 20% of the national total. This marks the third consecutive month of year-on-year growth in company formation.
During a visit to the Danone science hub in Tres Cantos, Ayuso emphasized Madrid's economic attractiveness for both national and international investment, particularly in innovation and high-tech sectors. The region is now the second in Europe for high-tech related employment.
“"International investments continue to focus on Madrid."
Data from the National Institute of Statistics confirms that business creation in Madrid saw a 31% year-on-year increase in February. Additionally, the number of dissolved companies decreased by 12.2%, totaling 640. This represents the second-best historical record for company formation in a February month.
In the first two months of the year, the Community of Madrid registered the creation of 5,098 new companies, representing 21% of the national total, with an average of 86 companies per day. This 19.1% growth compared to the same period last year solidifies Madrid's leadership over other regions like Catalonia in the business sector.
