The meeting, he continued, is expected to be attended by more than one thousand Ibero-American businessmen, as well as important government authorities and prominent representatives of institutions, multilateral organizations and business organizations.
Casado explained that the event will revolve around a series of thematic axes, which highlight the main challenges for the region: sustainability and climate action as key factors for recovery, new financing models for the development of sustainable businesses, economic prospects for Ibero-America in the face of the challenge of recovery and the new transformation, gender equality as a transformative driver of the new transitions, connectivity and infrastructure in the Ibero-American space, energy and ecological transition in Ibero-America, digital transformation as the basis for productive and sustainable innovation, and tourism in Ibero-America as the great lever for recovery.
The Business Meeting, Casado reported, will be held at the Sans Souci Convention Center, which consists of 4,400 square meters of facilities on two floors, and will have stands for companies, meeting rooms, spaces for side events and a technological connectivity platform so that all participants and interested parties can connect.
The event, organized by CEIB and SEGIB, also has the collaboration of the Ibero-American Federation of Young Entrepreneurs-FIJE and its associations, given that young people play a decisive role in the present and future of the region.
