This figure was highlighted by the Minister of Health, Fátima Matute, during the closing of the morning session of the second day of the Madrid Investment Forum 2026, held in Tres Cantos. The initiative, organized by the agency Invest in Madrid, focuses on discussing strategic sectors for the regional government, with particular attention to opportunities in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
Matute emphasized that, beyond the numbers, what truly valuable is the talent, science, and the presence of patients finding solutions. She noted that companies choose Madrid because they perceive a favorable environment for investment, growth, and collaboration.
