On October 6, 2026, Ángel Niño, the Councilor for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, participated in a session of Cazacracks de Madrid in Game, an initiative by the Madrid City Council that visits schools to promote educational programs and career opportunities in the video game sector.

The Cazacracks are a group of gaming professionals who inform secondary school, baccalaureate, and vocational training students about the potential of the video game industry for their academic and professional futures. “Through engaging and informative activities, we highlight that video games encompass much more than just playing on a console, covering in-demand professions in today’s market such as programming, design, art, direction, and scripting,” Niño stated during his visit to San Juan Bautista Salesian School in Tetuán.

Niño emphasized that Madrid is “a privileged environment for studying and working in the video game industry,” as it offers “over 40 specific degrees and master's programs.” Additionally, the Spanish video game market reached a turnover of €2.293 billion in 2025, with 22.8 million players, according to the Spanish Video Game Association (AEVI).

In Madrid, the video game ecosystem generates over €1.3 billion in direct revenue, hosts 244 active companies, and employs nearly 2,900 professionals. The Cazacracks initiative has been guiding students and touring schools in the region since 2023. The 2026 tour will continue throughout October, visiting more than 20 educational centers in the Community of Madrid.

Furthermore, on November 4 and 5, the Madrid in Game Video Game Campus will host two days that will serve as a meeting point for students, universities, and training centers. Attendees will receive personalized advice and guidance, gaining firsthand knowledge of the academic offerings and career paths available in the gaming field.
