IBEROAMERICA AND SPAIN CONNECTION
Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The meeting aims to shed light on cross-border investment and opportunities related to start-up companies in both regions. To this end, we have planned two short round tables of 40 minutes each, followed by a 30-minute coffee break.
In the first part we will talk about the macroeconomic context, what Spain means for Latin America and vice versa and the opportunities that exist for investment, business expansion and the creation of alliances between countries. In the second part, we will talk about the particularities of the different start-up ecosystems, and the keys to success according to the experiences of several entrepreneurs.
The audience will mainly come from investment firms and professionals related to innovation and entrepreneurship from Spain and Latin America.
Places are limited so please reserve your place as soon as possible.
