The regional government has unveiled the new 2026-2030 Industrial Plan, a strategy backed by 853 million euros to transform the western metropolitan area into a hub for artificial intelligence and digital services.

The initiative includes 85 measures aimed at strengthening the business fabric of this area, which currently accounts for more than 7% of the regional GDP. This investment seeks to consolidate a technological corridor capable of attracting talent and fostering innovation within the private sector.
Key actions include the creation of a cybersecurity demonstration center and the launch of the IndustrIA Madrid platform. This portal will help local companies integrate artificial intelligence tools into their production processes, thereby improving their competitiveness in the global market.
The plan also features an open innovation space designed to connect large corporations with emerging startups. Official data indicates that the area hosts nearly 73,000 businesses, representing 9.3% of the region's total, making it a key location for the development of new technology firms.
