In the 21st century and amidst the increasing interdependence of national economies, the role of cities, and in particular large metropolitan areas, is changing significantly. Cities nowadays are dense networks of interchanging investments, information, goods and people as well as centres of innovation and knowledge management. Cities are the true powerhouses of economic development and knowledge.

In the global market, Madrid is the capital of one of the most stable and yet dynamic countries on the European continent and a prime choice for setting up new professional, business or personal projects.

The city with the best opportunities for businessmen:

1. Madrid is an economic, political and administrative hub with a solid and diversely structured economy, and a truly dynamic city. In 2008, Madrid's growth has reached 1.8 percent;   in 2009 is expected a decrease given the current finantial crisis. However, this decrease is still well below of the Eurozone countries.
2. Diversity and differences co-exist with social harmony and institutional stability. Madrid is renowned for its generosity and hospitality. The political framework is peaceful and offers guaranteed growth and stability.

4. Situated in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid has a privileged geo-strategic position and is the natural link between Europe, Latin America and North Africa. Naturally, the top foreign companies setting up in Spain have chosen Madrid as the base for their head offices.

6. At the forefront of scientific and technological innovation, Madrid has one of the most advanced regional networks of science and technology in Spain, and indeed Europe.
7. Madrid offers a highly qualified work force yet considerably lower labour costs than cities such as London, Paris or Amsterdam. It is an ideal space for creativity as its young, vibrant and intellectually inclined population is coupled with an extremely dynamic and consolidated business culture.
8. It has modern, high-quality infrastructure where innovation is the common denominator.
9. Its cultural heritage is among the most important in the world in terms of art, culture and monuments.
