In today’s European context, where reindustrialisation must align with sustainability goals, Madrid is moving forward with both method and ambition.
With more than 200 investment projects aligned with Spain’s national resilience strategy and nearly €22 billion mobilized, the Madrid region aims to accelerate the transformation of its industrial base. The objective is twofold: modernise local value chains and support the decarbonisation of existing activities. Reindustrialisation is seen here not only as a pillar of sovereignty, but also as a driver of environmental transition.
Under the national recovery plan, €4.41 billion have been earmarked for energy transition, circular economy, and clean mobility initiatives. For industrial companies, these priorities translate into concrete support measures: up to €2 million per project for energy efficiency improvements, subsidies for renewable energy self-production, electrification of industrial processes, and recruitment or upskilling of R&D profiles.
The region also benefits from a well-structured industrial infrastructure network, including modern business parks, technology hubs, and innovation zones. Access to public land is streamlined via the Suelo 4.0 digital platform, which lists more than 3 million m² of available plots—a rare asset in a major metropolitan area.
This dynamic is reinforced by a high-level technological ecosystem, centered on the IMDEA Institutes (Water, Materials, Energy) and specialised clusters in e-mobility, artificial intelligence, IoT, and clean technologies. Companies can tap into synergies, collaborative platforms, and structured partnerships to accelerate their innovation projects.
At the urban level, the transition is also taking shape through territorial demonstrators—such as the Vallecas project, where environmental initiatives, low-carbon infrastructure, and social development intersect. In Madrid, reindustrialisation is not seen as conflicting with quality of life, but rather as a means to reconcile both ambitions.
