Competitive Context and Opportunity
Analysing the competitive landscape, there is an opportunity to empower the I+D in order to create the new wave of art and the new generation artists. We find that during the first and last quarter, especially in March and October, different fairs will be held each year in Madrid which will attract thousands of visitors, gallery owners, curators, curators, artists and collectors are as follows.
