Madrid, June 2025 – ISDE and ECIJA have officially launched the Entertainment Lab (E-LAB ISDE – ECIJA), an academic-professional collaboration space created to analyze—through an innovative legal lens—the major challenges of digital transformation in the fields of entertainment, culture, and sports.
The launch event took place at the Fernando Pradilla Gallery and brought together key figures from the legal, cultural, and tech sectors, in a session blending reflection, creativity, and strategic vision. During the event, the first developments of the E-8 were presented—a forum of experts that intellectually supports the E-LAB and serves as a hub for generating ideas and practical solutions for an increasingly complex ecosystem.
Among the featured participants were José Javier Hombrados Ibáñez, Director of Institutional Relations at ISDE, and Helena Suárez Jaqueti, partner at ECIJA. They discussed critical issues at the intersection of regulation, technological disruption, and cultural industries, highlighting both institutions’ commitment to promoting a legal approach suited to new business models and artistic creation.
