The Community of Madrid has four key technology clusters in the digital field that drive innovative projects: Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things and Digital Transformation. Blockchain Intelligence is the co-founder of two of them: Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, actively participating in their activities.

In the Assembly, López-Valverde, Minister of Digitalisation, reiterated the commitment of the Community of Madrid to attract business and technology.
