The Madrid City Council is committed to urban innovation through the development of Sandbox Madrid, a pioneering initiative that allows companies, entrepreneurs, universities, technology centers, and public and private entities to test innovative solutions in real urban environments in a safe and controlled manner.
Sandbox Madrid establishes a controlled testing environment for innovative projects in the city of Madrid through a specific regulatory framework that provides a single authorization for conducting these tests. Its goal is to facilitate experimentation with new technologies, services, and models applied to the urban environment, generating useful knowledge for both project developers and the public administration itself.
Sandbox Madrid was founded with the mission of driving innovation in the city through real-world experimentation, enabling innovative solutions to be tested, evaluated, and scaled up in Madrid. The initiative aims to have a positive impact in areas such as sustainability, urban efficiency, and improving citizens’ quality of life.
With Sandbox Madrid, the city is cementing its position as a leader in urban innovation and public-private partnerships, promoting a model of a more sustainable, efficient city that is better prepared to tackle the challenges of the future.
