Our mission is to bring Africa and Spain closer
Through outreach, educational, economic, and cultural activities, we foster mutual understanding and strengthen Hispanic African relations.
The African Development Bank's international tenders as an opportunity for Spanish entrepreneurs was the subject of the information and working session that was held yesterday, 3rd November, at the Foment del Treball Nacional headquarters. There were two presentations and a talk, which took place during the morning, served to show the possibilities available to open up a new way for internationalisation to the Spanish entrepreneurs through this institution. Casa África also presented, as part of this a new edition, its editorial line African notebooks, which brings together texts that resulted from the Business meeting on opportunities and economic prospects of Africa, which was organised by the Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations and Casa África itself, last 16th June at the CEOE headquarters in Madrid.
The session's inauguration took place at 12.00, in the presence of the president for the International Committee of Foment del Treball Nacional, Joan Canals; the director of the Business Internationalization Centre ACC1Ó, Diego Guri, and Casa África's General secretary Luis Padilla.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is a multi-national development bank that was created in 1964 and that all African countries form part of together with 24 more shareholders, amongst which we find Spain. The business opportunities the AfBD generated in 2010 rose to 4,100 million euros, with the infrastructure sector gaining most benefit.
