MADRID (AP) — The new Formula 1 track in Madrid will be called the Madring, organizers said Monday.
The new venue is due to bring F1 to the Spanish capital from next year with a 5.4-kilometer (3.4-mile) circuit laid out around an area of exhibition halls near Madrid's main airport, using a mix of existing roads and purpose-built sections of track. Organizers have signed a decade-long contract with F1 through 2035.
The choice of Madring echoes the likes of Austria's Red Bull Ring and Hungary's Hungaroring, both regular fixtures on the F1 calendar.
The name “aims to establish a concise and memorable identity that directly references its host city, is instantly recognizable worldwide, and requires no translation,” organizers said in a statement.
Organizers added the name is meant to emphasize the track's connection to the city of Madrid and said it would be a “spectacle circuit” similar to the F1 venues in Miami, Abu Dhabi and Las Vegas.
The new track is due to take over the Spanish Grand Prix from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya near Barcelona, which has hosted the race since 1991. F1 last raced near Madrid in 1981 at the Jarama circuit on the city's outskirts.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 20, 2026--
Everbridge, Inc., the global leader in High Velocity Critical Event Management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced an evolution of its High Velocity CEM platform, introducing a dynamically adaptive approach to resilience designed to help organizations respond to increasingly complex and interconnected disruptions.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260420027916/en/
“Organizations are operating in an expanding Risk Zone where disruption moves faster and rarely happens in isolation,” said Dave Wagner, President and CEO of Everbridge. “Resilience can no longer depend on manual coordination during a crisis. It requires systems that combine real-time intelligence, AI-driven automation, and leadership oversight through a platform that is autonomous when you want it to be and human-guided when you need it to be, so every incident response is optimized.”
Everbridge pioneered Critical Event Management and advanced the category with High Velocity CEM, enabling organizations to detect risk earlier, coordinate response faster, automate critical workflows, and continuously improve how they manage disruptions. Customers using the platform have reported up to 15x faster incident response times and a 90% improvement in identifying risk and alerting employees.
This dynamically adaptive approach represents the next evolution of High Velocity CEM, enabled by Purpose-built AI embedded throughout the Everbridge platform. As cyberattacks, extreme weather, geopolitical instability, and digital outages increasingly overlap and compound, traditional crisis management approaches are struggling to keep pace.
The Everbridge platform continuously ingests risk signals across cyber, physical, operational, and geopolitical domains, applying AI to identify what matters and recommend response actions. This intelligence extends across the Everbridge portfolio, supporting coordinated response at scale. Routine workflows execute automatically while teams receive guided support, allowing leaders to focus on decisions that require human judgment.
“Organizations don’t need more alerts – they need coordinated action,” said Bryan Barney, Chief Product Officer at Everbridge. “High Velocity CEM brings together intelligence, automation, and orchestration in a single platform to help teams interpret risk, automate routine response, and act in real time as conditions change.”
Growing regulatory pressure and board-level scrutiny are increasing expectations for real-time risk awareness, coordinated response, and measurable improvement after every disruption. Dynamically adaptive resilience addresses these requirements as a foundation for modern resilience programs.
At the same time, in our view, industry analysts are confirming the growing role of AI and unified platforms in resilience programs. Gartner® notes that “organizations are shifting from fragmented point solutions, where cyber risk, compliance, and vendor risk are managed in isolation, toward unified platforms that deliver holistic visibility and eliminate data silos.” The research also observes that “AI and automation are transforming crisis management from reactive to proactive.” Gartner further predicts that “By 2028, 85% of BCMP solutions will include the use of AI in planning, analysis and response capabilities, up from 10% in 2024.”
The announcement was made at Discover Resilience 2026, the annual Everbridge conference bringing together resilience and security leaders to explore how organizations can adapt their operating models for a more complex risk environment.
