# Software Development Company in Madrid > Custom software, web and mobile apps and AI for Madrid corporates, fintech and insurance firms and startups, built by founders who work in Madrid. Source: https://authect.com/madrid Authect builds custom software, web and mobile apps and AI features for companies in Madrid: corporate teams, fintech and insurance firms, startups and suppliers to the public sector. Our founders work in Madrid, so you talk directly to the people who build your project. ## Why building software in Madrid is different Madrid is where much of Spain's business is decided. **Many of the country's largest companies keep their headquarters here**, alongside banks, insurers, consultancies and the national government, so a software project in Madrid often has to satisfy several departments at once: the business owner, IT, security, procurement and legal, each with their own questions. That changes how a project should start. Before anyone writes code, the work needs **a clear scope, an architecture your IT team can review and a security approach your compliance team can sign off**. Done well, that groundwork speeds everything up later, because decisions are made once and written down rather than reopened in every steering meeting. In Spain our founders work between Madrid and Marbella, so Madrid clients **talk directly to the people who build their software**, online first and in person later if it helps. Every project is led by a senior engineer, AI speeds up the routine work while an engineer reviews every line, and the code, infrastructure and designs belong to you from day one. ## Who we build for in Madrid - **Corporates, Headquarters and innovation teams**: Internal platforms, customer portals and proofs of concept for large organisations, built to pass architecture and security review and to hand over cleanly to the in-house team when a pilot becomes a product. - **Fintech and insurance, Payments, lending and insurtech**: Customer onboarding, policy and claims journeys, dashboards and the integrations behind them, with audit trails, strong authentication and data protection designed in from the start rather than added just before launch. - **Startups, Founders building a first product**: A focused first release of your SaaS or app, scoped around what your first customers need, with an architecture and codebase that a future engineering team will be glad to inherit. - **Public sector, Suppliers to public bodies**: Accessible, well-documented software for companies delivering digital services to public administrations, built to the accessibility and security standards those contracts usually require. ## What we build for Madrid companies Madrid projects often sit inside larger organisations, so they combine product work with integration, security and a clean handover. These are the services that come together most often here. - [Enterprise applications](https://authect.com/services/enterprise-applications): Internal tools and platforms that replace spreadsheets and email chains across departments, integrated with the ERP, CRM and identity systems you already run. - [Application development](https://authect.com/services/application-development): Web, iOS and Android apps for customers and staff, built in Spanish and English and ready for other markets when you expand. - [Cyber security](https://authect.com/services/cyber-security): Threat modelling, access control, secure code review and documentation your security and compliance teams can check, with personal data handled the way GDPR requires. - [Artificial intelligence](https://authect.com/services/artificial-intelligence): AI features with a clear business case, from document handling in insurance to assistants for service teams, with a person in the loop wherever a decision matters. - [Legacy software modernization](https://authect.com/services/legacy-modernization): Gradual replacement of ageing systems that still run critical processes, one piece at a time, so the business keeps working while the old platform is retired. ## Working with us in Madrid - **Founders who work in Madrid**: Our founders work in Madrid as well as in Marbella and Dubai. Kick-offs and stakeholder workshops run online, and once a project is under way we can meet in Madrid to review the work. - **Your time zone**: From Madrid we share your Central European working day, and the Dubai side of the team starts a few hours earlier, so questions raised late in your afternoon are often picked up before your next morning. - **Workshops and documents in Spanish or English**: Steering meetings, specifications and handover documents can be in Spanish, English or both, so business and technical teams each read them in the language they work in. Our contact team also answers in Arabic, Russian and Lithuanian. - **Clear contracts, full ownership**: Contracts and invoices come from Authect - FZCO, a Dubai free-zone company under IFZA trade licence 70505. Code, infrastructure and designs sit in your own accounts from day one, which keeps procurement and IT on firm ground. ## Madrid: common questions ### Do you have an office in Madrid? No. Our founders work in Madrid, as well as in Marbella and Dubai. Conversations start online, and once a project is under way we can meet at your offices when it helps. The company, Authect - FZCO, is registered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, and contracts and invoices come from that entity. ### Can you work with our IT, security and procurement teams? Yes, and we expect to. We share a written scope, an architecture outline and security documentation early, work inside your repositories and review processes if you prefer, and answer supplier questionnaires as part of getting started. ### Can we start with a proof of concept? Yes, and for many large organisations that is the right first step. We agree what the pilot must prove, build it properly rather than as throwaway code, and you decide whether to continue with the evidence in front of you. ### Do you build for regulated sectors such as finance and insurance? Yes. We design for audit trails, strong customer authentication, least-privilege access and GDPR from the first sprint, and document the controls so your compliance team can check them against the rules you work under. ### Will we depend on you after launch? Only if you want to. The code lives in your repository, the infrastructure in your cloud accounts and the designs in your workspace, with documentation written for whoever maintains it next, whether that is us, another supplier or your own team. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
