The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has unveiled the upcoming Law against Overregulation to reduce bureaucracy and announced an 8 million euro investment in a technological innovation center.

This legislative initiative, currently in its final stages, primarily aims to simplify administrative procedures that, according to the regional government, hinder economic activity. This measure complements the elimination of 540 regulations in recent years, with 202 suppressed in 2025 alone.

"Bureaucracy must exist because where there are no rules, the law of the jungle prevails, but it must be like taxation: fair, attractive, and incentivizing."

The head of the regional executive emphasized the importance of a regulatory framework that encourages stimulus and initiative within a diverse ecosystem comprising freelancers, SMEs, and large corporations. These statements were made during her participation in the sixth edition of the Wake Up Spain!, Wake up Europe! conferences, held at the Casa de América in the capital.
In addition to the law, Díaz Ayuso announced an 8 million euro investment over the next four years for the creation of an innovation center, named Madrid Venture Client Hub. This space will function as a "technological incubator" to connect startups with large corporations, investors, and public administrations, facilitating their growth and the adoption of cutting-edge technology.
The project seeks to consolidate the Community of Madrid as a European benchmark in applied innovation, leveraging its higher education offerings and its position as Spain's economic engine, contributing almost 20% of the national GDP. The initiative will also promote the participation of regional companies in international missions and meetings with investors, aiming to expand their business opportunities and generate skilled employment.
