The Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, left Seoul yesterday under a heavy snowfall, after five days of official visit that concluded with open lines of communication to “work on technology, housing, health and education,” said the head of the Madrid Executive. A “very intense” trip in which Ayuso and three of his advisors – those of the Presidency, Education and Digitalization – have developed parallel agendas trying to attract investors and business opportunities to Madrid, in addition to formulas for improving public services.
Throughout the week, the president and her team have held ten meetings and meetings with groups of investors and managers from sectors such as culture, music and entertainment, startups – some of them Spanish – in that Asian country, and contacts with other firms that “want to come to Madrid to bring solutions in terms of transportation or the construction of new homes,” explained the head of the regional Executive.
They have placed special emphasis on technological solutions that can be applied “to facilitate the lives of citizens from the Administration, from education, from health, from Madrid companies, to help them, for example, to modernize, to take giant steps in technological matters and be more competitive,” Ayuso insisted.
Yesterday, Madrid politicians said they admired “the levels of demand never seen before” that they have found there, “equally in education and in business, a style of demand that we also want for Madrid.”
In the balance of the trip, the regional president presents progress and contacts “both between politicians and institutions” in matters such as “transport, new ideas for new homes, or the digitalization of the health system.”
Digitalization has been one of the highlights in the meetings held in South Korea, and experiences have especially been known in relation to “student monitoring through digitalization.” Always, he clarified, when a sufficient degree of maturity is reached: “We defend traditional school for the first stages of life, especially outside of social networks.”
In terms of tourism, the Korean Air company has already launched a fourth weekly flight between Seoul and Madrid, and “even the fifth is being studied for next year,” said Díaz Ayuso. The president invites them to get to know the region and also the rest of Spain, and that is why she has highlighted to investors and businessmen that any city on the Iberian Peninsula is a maximum of one hour from the capital by plane.
