The Alliance for Ibero-America Business Council (CEAPI) celebrates the Forum Madrid, capital of Ibero-American internationalization in Madrid: How to invest in Madrid. On this day, presidents of companies, business families, investors and family offices from Spain and Latin America will focus on the investment opportunities offered by the Spanish capital. This as a bridge between Latin America and Europe.
The capital of Spain received 21,850 million euros of foreign investment last year, a figure similar to that of Mexico, or that of Chile and Colombia together. The objective of this new edition is to promote relationships of trust, strengthen strategic links between Ibero-American businessmen and investors. In addition, favor joint investment between Spain and America, and promote multi-bero-American companies, with Madrid as the best setting to strengthen ties.
The protagonists of the CEAPI speak in Madrid
In her opening speech, Núria Vilanova, president of CEAPI, pointed out that “Madrid meets all the requirements to become a global capital of Ibero-American investment. It is a city that creates opportunities to enter the capital market and the real estate sector. This to find partners and family offices; funds with which to co-invest. Europe cannot afford to forget Latin America. Despite all the uncertainties, the region has a great future.”
For her part, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, at the inauguration of the meeting, ratified the Community’s commitment to Latin America. “Madrid is a place of opportunities. The reference of the fight for freedom and life, and the center of positive policies that dismantle all that story that dwarfs and ruins. Liberal democracies have to wake up and realize that they have to protect themselves, weave those alliances like the one that brings us here today. In addition, defend everything that has been built with so much work”. Ayuso adds the moment of Madrid, with “economic and employment figures” that accompany the region to turn it “into a place of opportunities. The reference of the fight for freedom and life, the center of positive policies” and that “dismantle all that story that dwarfs and ruins”.
