Public Agenda and beBartlet Organize the New Reindustrialization Symposium in Madrid

September 8, 2026

A new strategic window from Spain to boost Europe’s reindustrialization at a decisive moment for the continent’s economy. Madrid will host the Reindustrialization Symposium on October 29, an initiative by Agenda Pública and beBartlet, which already counts MOEVE and Engie as driving partners. Confirmed participants include the Minister of Industry and Tourism, Jordi Hereu; the MEP Susana Solís; the Catalan Business Councilor, Miquel Samper; the Aragon Economy Councilor, Eva Valle; and Members of Congress Paco Conde and Guillermo Mariscal.

“The new symposium will address the dynamics of collaboration between the public and private sectors to achieve Europe’s industrial objectives from and for Spain”

Alejandro Labanda, director of beBartlet, announced this alongside Marc López Plana, editor of Agenda Pública, before a group of industry representatives. The symposium will explore how public-private collaboration can advance Europe’s industrial goals from a Spanish vantage point. In a context where Europe is redefining its economic and strategic model, Spain possesses a competitive advantage in energy that could become one of the principal levers for reindustrialization. The symposium will examine how to turn this edge into greater industrial capacity, reconciling the objectives of competitiveness and strategic autonomy amid the current geopolitical landscape.

This strategic window will bring together institutional leaders, the business sector, and experts to propel Spain as a model of economic success. It is a space designed to transition from planning to action and to activate the levers of competitiveness that convert this energy leadership into reindustrialization capable of transforming the economy and enhancing social and territorial cohesion.

This symposium complements Agenda Pública’s alliance as a media partner in the Health and Competitiveness Symposium of beBartlet and TEHA-Ambrosetti, which will be held on November 26 in Barcelona. With both initiatives, Agenda Pública aims to contribute to a higher-quality public debate by sharing content before and after the events and building a readership community enriched with more analytical elements.

Agenda Pública conceptualizes the drive or collaboration across the various forums, conversations, micro-spaces, or symposia from the perspective of creating an opportunity to share high-quality content with our reader community, beyond the day or days on which the activity is organized. This approach allows the debates, analyses, and perspectives to reach a qualified readership and helps deepen better public policies or prioritize them.

“‘Agenda Pública’ has consolidated a reference community of academics, experts, institutional representatives, corporate executives, public officials, and European diplomats”

At Agenda Pública, we already host more than 10,000 analyses published, more than 1,800 expert authors, more than 140,000 unique monthly readers, and more than 9,000 subscribers who receive our daily content across all channels and newsletters, and we have established a reference community of academics, experts, institutional representatives, corporate executives, public officials, and European diplomats.
