In November 2024, the Transatlantic Business & Investment Council (TBIC) had its first FDI recruitment trip to Spain with meetings, multiplier visits and networking events in Madrid and Barcelona. In collaboration with the Global Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Commercial Service in Spain and CDTI – The Center for Technological Development and Innovation in Madrid, TBIC and its members from Texas and Georgia met with more than 20 companies from advanced manufacturing industries, but also tech-oriented start-ups in the food and robotics industries. In addition to that, the brief visit of the Madrid Advanced Manufacturing Show was a great opportunity to meet with companies from Spain and other European countries. With plenty new local partnerships and connections TBIC is already looking forward to coming back to Spain.
