In an effort to optimize the resources dedicated to innovation, Madrid Network and the law firm Elzaburu organized the event “Recover and Maximize Your Investment in R&D&I.” The event, held on October 16, 2025, brought together experts and businesspeople with the aim of exploring the available tax and employment opportunities to foster innovation in the business environment.
Gema Sanz, Director of Institutional Relations at Madrid Network, opened the event, emphasizing the importance of R&D&I not only as a driver of innovation, but also as a tool to improve competitiveness and generate significant savings.
Among the day's featured speakers, David Puentes, from Elzaburu, offered a detailed view on how companies can maximize their savings by utilizing current tax incentives. Puentes emphasized the value of the Binding Motivated Report (IMV), which provides legal certainty and allows companies to take advantage of the incentives without incurring unnecessary risks.
According to Puentes, the tax deductions applicable to corporation tax are a powerful tool, even allowing retroactive application back to 2019 thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court. Moreover, incentives for research personnel emerge as a key resource, offering significant reductions in Social Security contributions.
The event also addressed the use of the Innovative SME Seal, a designation that enables the combination of tax deductions and credits and that is obtained by meeting certain innovation-related requirements.
As a success story, Emilio Avilés, CEO of SlashMobility, shared his company's experience, which has managed to save €273,000 in the 2024-2025 period through these incentives. SlashMobility has evolved significantly, becoming a benchmark in digital talent and technological transformation.
The event concluded with a networking session, reinforcing Madrid Network's commitment to fostering collaboration and providing companies with the necessary tools to drive their development through innovation.
