The Ambassadors welcomed the attendees, and encouraged them to maintain their commitment to the Spanish and Portuguese markets. The macroeconomic forecasts of both countries are good and above average of other developed countries. Furthermore, both economies are competitive and are closely linked to the markets of Latin America and Africa.
The speeches were mainly on the important role of investment and venture capital funds in the green and digital transition, one of the axes of the current Spanish Presidency of the EU, to make the European economy more competitive and resilient.
