iaS headquartersMadrid, Spain

Where the iaS network began in Madrid

Madrid is the headquarters of iaS: this is where the team works, the programs are coordinated and every new chapter gets its support.

Illustration: a blue figure celebrates with victory signs next to the words “Hola Madrid”, with “Madrid” highlighted in red, a nod to programming’s “Hello, world”.

The iaS network

From Madrid we coordinate the network and give each chapter the brand, materials and mentorship it needs to get started.
