- The edtech company has been awarded the contract to supply content licenses for the eBiblio Madrid platform during 2026 and 2027.
- It will manage the fiction, non-fiction, and audiobook collections, thereby strengthening Madrid residents’ access to education, culture, and digital knowledge.
Madrid, November 25, 2025 –ODILO, the Spanish edtech company that transforms the way people and organizations learn in a unique digital environment, has won the tender for the second time to supply e-book and audiobook licenses for the eBiblio Madrid platform, which was used by 71,875 people in 2024, according to data from the Ministry of Culture.
This new agreement reinforces the commitment between ODILO and the Community of Madrid for the next two years (2026 and 2027), bringing closer and expanding access to training, culture, and digital knowledge to all citizens of Madrid.
“At ODILO, we are very grateful and proud to have been awarded this tender and to contribute to making eBiblio a space where reading and digital education are available to everyone. We will continue to promote new forms of learning and cultural enjoyment for citizens,” said Eduardo Yagüe, VP of Content Innovation at ODILO.
Within this framework, and thanks to an elaborate content proposal that reflects a careful curation of titles, authors, themes, and formats of interest to Madrid readers, and which is fully aligned with the interests and priorities of the publishing industry, ODILO will manage all of the lots (fiction, non-fiction, and audiobooks), for which it must meet several criteria of excellence: the content provided must be in epub (ebooks) and mp3 (audiobooks) formats with a minimum loan period of 21 days.
More training and more access for Madrid residents
The eBiblioMadrid platform is a key resource for the Ministry of Culture and the Subdirectorate General for Books of the Community of Madrid: during the first half of 2025, more than 813,000 loans were registered through eBiblio Madrid. This growing volume shows that citizens in the Madrid region are increasingly using the service to read digitally and access audiobooks.
With the support of ODILO, the service is expected to continue promoting digital literacy, self-learning, and access to culture for all. Specifically, it will ensure that the platform offers a comprehensive, attractive, and carefully managed catalog, with efficient and scalable operation for the entire network of public libraries in the Community of Madrid.
In this way, the agreement between the Community of Madrid and the edtech company highlights ODILO’s leadership in supporting the Public Administration in its training, cultural, and citizen digitization plans. In this regard, the Spanish edtech company leads and owns the technology behind renowned public library project platforms both nationally and internationally, such as the Public Reading System of Catalonia, eBiblioCat, BibliON in São Paulo, the National Library Network of Chile DIBAM, and Plan Ceibal in Uruguay, to name a few.
