Session brings together 97 entities and institutional partners to strengthen Madrid’s audiovisual ecosystem
Raúl Berdonés, President of Secuoya Content Group and of the Madrid Audiovisual Cluster, chaired the Ordinary General Assembly held last Thursday at Estudio Super8 in Madrid. The meeting gathered nearly one hundred entities from the audiovisual sector to review the Cluster’s activities and move forward on new strategic projects.
He was joined by Gonzalo Cabrera, Director General for Cultural Promotion of the Community of Madrid; Nacho Carballo, Audiovisual Industries Advisor of the Community of Madrid; Rosario Urdín, Technical Advisor of the Madrid City Council; Teresa Azcona, Managing Director of the Cluster; and Patricia Motilla, Secretary of the organization.
During the Assembly, the 2024 activity report, annual accounts, and the Board of Directors’ management were approved. The Cluster also strengthened its structure with the addition of a new board position focused on Markets and Regulation, adapting to the emerging challenges of the audiovisual industry.
Among the recent highlights was the success of the first Madrid Audiovisual Investment Forum. New initiatives were also announced, including a financing forum for independent film, a sustainability summit, and the launch of the Madrid Audiovisual Observatory.
The session concluded with a presentation by María Coronado, Director of Audiovisual at SETT, who outlined new funding opportunities under the Spain Audiovisual Hub Plan, with a budget of over €1.7 billion.
The Madrid Audiovisual Cluster now brings together 97 entities, including producers, distributors, platforms, universities, service firms, and institutional partners such as the Madrid City Council and the Community of Madrid. Its mission is to strengthen the audiovisual ecosystem, foster talent, and position Madrid as an international benchmark.
