Internationalization, differentiation and value of the brand, the importance of the Spain brand as a guarantee of international competitiveness and, above all, the union between companies and public administration.
To mark its twenty-year history, the Forum recognized the founding partners’ role as first ambassadors of the Espain brand. The event also highlighted the lead, that twenty years ago, the brands had in order to start up the forum, inciting the internationalization as a key driver for improving the competitiveness of the Spanish economy, as well as the importance of public-private partnerships, which is the hallmark of the Forum.
