- Madrid Platform is promoting the city of Madrid as a natural bridge for SMEs in Europe and Latin America and to this end is organizing an event (physical, semi-virtual and completely virtual) for May 2021. Madrid Platform is emerging as one of the main levers of the economic reactivation plan envisaged by Madrid City Council, which is actively supporting the project as Official Partner.
- Madrid Platform already has the active support of Madrid City Council and a wide range of public and private institutions, including the airline Iberia, as well as companies such as the Martín Molina law firm, Ferrovial and CBRE. What’s more, most of Europe’s Chambers of Commerce are set to actively participate, as well as the Ibero-American General Secretariat, the Council of Ibero-American Companies, the Foundation for Young Ibero-American Entrepreneurs, the Euro-America Foundation and the Organization of Ibero-American States.
Madrid, March 3, 2021 | MSH Global and Mad FinTech have signed a collaboration agreement aimed at fostering cooperation ahead of the event “Madrid Platform”, scheduled for May 2021. The agreement seeks to promote the visibility and broaden the scope of this international business ecosystem as an opportunity for growth and connection between companies, chiefly SMEs, from both Europe and Latin America.
Madrid Platform was created to address the need for a natural meeting space for companies from Europe and Latin America. It envisages Madrid as a strategic bridge for business between both continents. The project, which has the active support of the Madrid City Council, aims to connect SMEs from different sectors through one-on-one meetings to explore real business opportunities, as well as hear from a wide range of experts on issues such as the future of work as we embrace the so-called “new normal”.
To further these goals, the organization is preparing a hybrid event (physical and virtual) for May 2021, with the aim of starting a conversation with leading experts on key topics of interest on the global agenda and, specifically, aspects that directly affect Ibero-American countries. The event is set to welcome participants from 500 companies and institutions, and from 20 countries, and will see 3,000 attendees take part in more than 1,500 meetings and other events – including 300 entrepreneurs and investors who’ll be attending Ágora one-on-one meetings.
Mad FinTech will be offering its support to this, the first International Business HUB between Europe and Latin America and will be participating in the International Seminar on Technology Applied to the Financial Industry, that is part of the event’s content program. According to the terms of the agreement, both the cluster and its members will be able to take full advantage of the wide range of different services available during the event. In addition, Mad FinTech member companies may avail of a 10% discount if they wish to actively participate in business roundtables or other specific events. Madrid Platform envisages a fruitful collaboration between Mad FinTech and the rest of the event attendees interested in this important niche and in the development of the FinTech industry,
The Director General of Madrid Platform, Carlos Morales said he was convinced that the participation and support of Mad FinTech will be of great value to the companies and other institutions who are teaming up with Madrid Platform to promote the city as an International Hub and natural meeting point for businesses. Morales then personally invited the cluster to participate actively and take full advantage of synergies offered by the more than 1,500 meetings that are expected to be held over the course of the event and which, by all estimates, “will have a success rate of more than 60% in terms of business outcomes”.
During the presentation of the project by Madrid’s City Council on October 7 (read report), the Deputy Mayor, Begoña Villacís, explained that the project “was already part of the City Council’s reactivation strategy” and that Madrid “needs to become the best city in the world to work in” and become a benchmark for the generation of business ideas in the new post-COVID-19 business world.
