This initiative, now in its fifth edition since its launch in 2022, aims to consolidate Madrid as a central hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. According to the City Council, the program has proven effective in positioning the capital as a benchmark in these areas.

The grants are intended for events held between November 1, 2025, and June 15, 2026, in either in-person or hybrid formats. To be eligible, events must have a minimum cost of €100,000 and last between two and five days. The application period is 20 business days, starting from June 15.

Eligible events include those that promote innovative or technological entrepreneurship, foster collaboration between companies and academic centers, or bring innovation closer to citizens. The delegate for Economy, Innovation, and Finance highlighted Madrid's optimal conditions as a host city, emphasizing its talent, quality of life, and ability to generate confidence among investors and companies.

Since its implementation, this aid program has facilitated the arrival of significant events such as Madrid Tech Show, MERGE Madrid, and Science for Industry. Many of these gatherings have successfully established themselves in the capital, often exceeding their initial expectations.
