During the agenda, organized by GDP Consulting and Internationalization in Mexico City, Querétaro, and Mérida, Invest in Madrid showcased the assets that our region offers to investors seeking a safe destination for their companies and carried out various activities to attract capital to the opportunities available in our country, especially in Madrid.
Additionally, throughout these days, Invest in Madrid had the honor of being part of the 150th anniversary of the Mexico City Chamber of Commerce, whose president, Mr. José Jesús Rodríguez, announced the imminent opening of a branch in Madrid to support and assist Mexican investors in Spain. He also highlighted the trust generated by our region’s policies when it comes to establishing any type of company.
Likewise, we had the opportunity to meet with organizations and entities such as the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Mexico, the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain in Mexico, Santander Bank of Mexico, the Mexico-Spain Business Association, the Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment and Technology, A.C. (COMCE), and the Secretariat of Tourism in Querétaro.
Mexico is the sixth-largest investor in Spain in terms of FDI stock, tenth in productive flows, and twelfth in employment. In fact, the region of Madrid has received €7.448 billion in gross productive investment from Mexico since 1993.
Moreover, Mexican companies maintain 37,538 direct jobs in Spain, 68.5% of which are in Madrid, and there are already more than 450 Mexican-owned companies active in Spain, 265 of them based in the region of Madrid (57.9%).
Thus, Mexico stands as one of the strategic countries that the regional government has identified in its 2023-2027 investment attraction strategy. For this reason, it will be the first Latin American country to have an investment agent.
The region of Madrid offers foreign investors legal certainty, the lowest taxes in Spain, and the opportunity to develop a business and life project with guarantees.
Our region is the epicenter of new business, offering legal certainty and stability, a region favorable to private enterprise, with administrative efficiency, leadership in physical and digital infrastructure, and great capacity to attract talent.
