The European Entrepreneurial Region (EER) Award is an annual project that recognises EU regions for their innovative entrepreneurial policy strategies, regardless of their size, wealth or skills.

In the 2021-2022 edition, the Community of Madrid focused on promoting collaboration between the public and private sector.

The bid strategies included:

• Coordinating regional and local policies with private initiatives to support entrepreneurship.
• Incorporating programmes that support both individual and collective entrepreneurship.
• Engaging entrepreneurship in public policy and collaborating with the private sector.

The plan included several initiatives, especially highlighting the Promotion of Individual and Collective Entrepreneurship. Programmes were launched such as the "Promotion of Entrepreneurship", which includes the "Day of the Entrepreneur" to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate interaction between entrepreneurs, as well as the "STEM Women Entrepreneurship Programme". This measure seeks to foster the entrepreneurial spirit, promote interaction between entrepreneurs and demonstrate commitment and support for entrepreneurship as a driver of employment and business creation.

This event brings together people interested in entrepreneurship, members of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (in particular solopreneurs), investors and related entities. It offers talks, workshops and debates focused on the needs identified in the entrepreneurial process, and provides an opportunity for networking among participants. In addition, there are stands where entrepreneurs exhibit their products, services and solutions for the entrepreneurial community.

On the other hand, the "Programa de Atención Integral al Emprendedor" establishes a network of support and advice points for the creation of companies, offering training in entrepreneurship on various topics.
