Furthermore, there are major economic sectors for the CM comprising the so-called natural clusters due to the high number of agents form said sectors, historically determined by the central role of Madrid in Spain.
These include: Madrid Logistics Platform (MPL) which aims to promote the CM as the logistics centre in Southern Europe and a port to America and Asia, and Madrid Financial Centre Association which aims to contribute to developing financial sector business and support, strengthen and promote the Community of Madrid as an international financial centre, being the European and international reference in creating value and cooperation with other markets, especially in Latin America.
