2024/11/10
In a context where digitalisation has become a fundamental pillar for business development, the project “ Todo en está en Madrid ” has been recognised as one of the three finalists in the third category of the European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA) 2024. This award, which celebrates initiatives that support the digital transition of companies, underlines the commitment of the Madrid City Council to the modernisation and visibility of local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The Madrid project has stood out among the 442 applications submitted by 29 countries , achieving a place in the European phase of these prestigious awards. The digitalisation of the city's commercial and hotel offering has been key to “Todo en está en Madrid” obtaining this recognition. The platform provides SMEs with an accessible digital space, both for citizens and tourists, improving their visibility and commercial viability in an increasingly competitive environment.
International recognition in Budapest
The “ Everything in Madrid ” project will now compete with the other 2 finalists from Poland and Serbia. The overall winner will be announced at the SME Assembly, which will be held in Budapest from 18 to 20 November 2024. This event will bring together business leaders, policy makers and representatives of the European Commission to discuss the future of entrepreneurship and digitalisation in Europe.
