April 19, 2016, 12:00pm – 1:30pm Catalonia is sometimes referred to the California of Europe. Its capital, Barcelona, is growing in importance as a port for Southern Europe, and over 600 US companies currently have operations in Catalonia serving the Southern Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. Even as debate continues in Spain over Catalonia’s movement toward secession, its economy has continued to grow, accounting for a large share of Spanish GDP and a significant share of Foreign Direct Investment in Europa.
Minister Baiget will provide a perspective on Catalonia’s business landscape, and its connection to the US and California in particular, as well as an update on Catalonia’s current political context and on future business opportunities.
