On September 11, the Madrid region will shine a spotlight on its thriving tech ecosystem at the Future Tech Fest in Düsseldorf. Through its investment promotion agency, Invest in Madrid, the region invites German startups, scale-ups, and investors to attend the Madrid Investor Talks, scheduled at 11:35 a.m. on the Community Stage—an opportunity to uncover why Madrid is becoming a magnet for European innovation.

At the heart of the Madrid delegation’s presence is a panel discussion bringing together experts from across the startup and innovation landscape. Organized by Invest in Madrid, the session will include perspectives from WAYRA (Telefónica’s global accelerator), OSAPIENS (a German tech company with operations in Madrid), Tenth Revolution (specialists in tech recruitment), and Monereo Meyer (a leading legal firm assisting German-speaking businesses in Spain). The session will highlight practical pathways to growth, from funding and talent to regulatory guidance.

One-on-One Meetings for Tailored Advice

Throughout the day, the Invest in Madrid team will also offer individual B2B sessions—both at its booth and in the networking zone. These personalized exchanges aim to demystify the process of international expansion and present specific tools available to tech entrepreneurs: incentives for hiring qualified professionals, streamlined setup procedures, and tax advantages under Spain’s “Mbappé Law” for foreign talent.

Concrete Insights for Expanding Tech Companies

This interactive session is tailored to startups preparing for internationalization and will cover:

• A trusted support ecosystem, illustrated by WAYRA’s cross-border accelerator model;

• A real-world example of successful market entry from OSAPIENS;

• HR strategies and talent availability in Madrid’s fast-growing tech sector, shared by Tenth Revolution;

• Legal and tax expertise from Monereo Meyer, with three decades of experience supporting German-speaking companies in Iberia.

From tax structures to talent pipelines, the discussion will equip founders with actionable insights.
