For more than 100 years, the Basque Country has remained one of the most powerful and diversified industrial areas in Europe. Thanks to its huge capacity and vitality it has become one of the leading economic centres in Europe. Its long industrial tradition has been comprehensively transformed, broadening its horizons towards technology and innovation. The Basque Model of competitiveness, a developed clusters system, outstanding productivity per employee, talented people, together with a high standard of living, makes the Basque Country one of the best locations to invest in Europe.
During this webinar, we will explain the main characteristics and opportunities of the Basque Economy, focusing especially on the Automotive, Energy and Bio-Health Cluster and you will learn of the benefits for a UK based company of establishing a subsidiary in The Basque Country. We will also take you through a Case Study of a British Company already operating in the Basque Country. At the end of the webinar, the Invest In The Basque Country team will offer individual meetings with those companies interested in learning more and taking the next step.
