The Business Council Alliance for Latin America (CEAPI) has held in Madrid the Forum “Madrid Capital of Ibero-American Internationalisation”. Francisco Gil, partner of Corporate, discussed in this forum the different investment opportunities offered by the Spanish capital, specifically the advantages offered by holding companies.
Francisco referred to the advantages of creating holding companies in Spain, including investment promotion and protection agreements, with all the European guarantees against political risks. In addition, it is a regime that favours the attraction of management talent.
Personalities such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, among others, took part in this forum.
The aim of this forum is to promote trusting relationships and to strengthen strategic links between Ibero-American businessmen and investors. It also seeks to encourage co-investment between Spain and America, and to promote Ibero-American companies, with Madrid as the best setting for strengthening ties.
