Through its investment promotion agency Invest in Madrid, the region invites German startups, scale-ups, and investors to discover a thriving ecosystem during the Madrid Investor Talks, taking place at 11:30 a.m. on the Community Stage.
A unique opportunity to explore Madrid’s tech ecosystem
By actively taking part in Future Tech Fest, the Madrid region aims to showcase the concrete conditions it offers for innovative companies looking to expand. The Madrid Investor Talks, hosted by Invest in Madrid, will feature voices from across the innovation and business support landscape: Telefónica’s tech accelerator WAYRA, German startup OSAPIENS, as well as Tenth Revolution (tech talent recruitment) and Monereo Meyer (a law and tax firm supporting German-speaking businesses in Spain).
Tailor-made B2B meetings
In addition to the panel, Invest in Madrid will offer personalized B2B meetings throughout the day, both in the event’s networking area and at its dedicated booth. The goal: to build trust, answer early-stage questions about Madrid’s ecosystem, and present concrete tools—such as hiring incentives for tech profiles and the “Mbappé Law”, which provides highly attractive tax conditions for foreign talent.
Practical insights for tech entrepreneurs
The workshop will address several key dimensions of business internationalization for disruptive companies:
- A solid support network with insights from WAYRA, a pioneering accelerator connecting startups between Europe and Latin America.
- A concrete and innovative success story from OSAPIENS, a German startup based in the Madrid region.
- Direct access to tech talent, with a presentation from Tenth Revolution, a specialist in cloud, Salesforce, and cybersecurity recruitment.
- A favorable legal and tax framework, with Monereo Meyer drawing on 30+ years of experience assisting German-speaking companies in their Iberian expansion.
This session is designed to respond to the practical concerns of founders: taxation, recruitment, setup time, public support, and access to strategic networks.
Future Tech Fest: A must-attend event for Germany’s innovation scene
With over 5,000 participants expected, Future Tech Fest is one of the key events on Germany’s tech calendar. Organized by digihub, the event spotlights the latest advances in AI, robotics, Industry 4.0, and cybersecurity.
