Instruments and Actions to support the EDP
The objectives established in the S3 (and in the EM2i), require the participation of all the agents of the Madrid research and innovation ecosystem and the support, by the administration, through a series of instruments, platforms and actions directed, ultimately term, to promote entrepreneurship, as a touchstone to achieve the ultimate goal of leading the Community of Madrid to be the reference Hub for Research and Innovation in southern Europe.
CM financing programs
The financing of R+D+i in the CM is organized in regional plans known as PRICIT, the last being the VI Regional Plan for Scientific Research and Technological Innovation 2022-2025 (VI PRICIT) . The VI PRICIT includes a set of instruments and actions in the field of Research and Innovation that are articulated in different Programs:
- TALENT program. (Development, Attraction and Retention)
- Program promoting SCIENCE and generating KNOWLEDGE.
- Program to promote COLLABORATION AND VALUATION of results.
- Support program for BUSINESS INNOVATION AND COMPETITIVENESS
- Program to improve the DISSEMINATION AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION of society
- Program to maximize RESULTS ORIENTATION
Considering the scope of application of the calls, we can differentiate those focused on the RESEARCH (oriented to Universities, Research Centers, etc.) of those oriented to the INNOVATION and transfer (companies, SMEs, Startups, etc.). Below is a list of the different calls in both areas.

Clusters of the Community of Madrid
During the year 2022, the Community of Madrid promotes the creation of several clusters within the Madrid ecosystem, aligned with the Madrid strategy and with the new European paradigms. These clusters are created in order to boost the Madrid ecosystem, creating a meeting space for the agents that make them up (quadruple helix), identifying their needs and strengths, as well as promoting synergies, collaboration and transfer between them. The ultimate objective, once again, is to strengthen the Community of Madrid as a pole of reference, nationally and internationally, in relation to the scope of activity of each cluster. The total number of Clusters created is nine:
- Digital Clusters: Four Clusters promoted by the Department of Local Administration and Digitization, with the aim of continuing to promote "digital transformation" in the region.
