The City Council of Seville has launched a trade mission in Mexico to attract investments and new companies. The delegation, led by delegates Juan Bueno and Álvaro Pimentel, is holding meetings with key organizations in the country.
This week, the City Council of Seville has initiated a commercial and business mission in Mexico aimed at presenting the city as an attractive destination for investment and the establishment of new companies. The municipal delegation, headed by the delegates for Finance, Juan Bueno, and for Economy and Trade, Álvaro Pimentel, is carrying out a work programme in Mexico City that will extend until Thursday, when they will move to Monterrey.
The initiative is part of the strategy of José Luis Sanz's government to boost the international projection of Seville, as reported by the City Council in a statement. The aim is to strengthen the presence of the Andalusian capital in markets with high growth potential and to generate new opportunities for investment, economic activity, and employment.
During the first day, the delegation met with the Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment and Technology (Comce), one of the main business organizations in the country. In the meeting, Comce's General Director, Susana Duque, and other representatives of the Mexican business community discussed the possibilities for collaboration with Seville.
Among the agreed lines of work are the development of a joint map of industrial capabilities in the aerospace and automotive sectors, the promotion of training and professional exchange programmes, and participation in international fairs. The potential for trade exchange with the Mexican region of Bajío, especially in the aerospace sector, was also discussed.
Another significant meeting was held with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Mexico (Camescom), which has 630 member companies. Its president, Óscar García Zato, and its General Director, Elena Ochoa, expressed the growing interest of Mexican companies in Spain in sectors such as legal, technology, and renewable energies. The Chamber has offered to be an ally in organizing business agendas and B2B meetings.
The institutional agenda also included a meeting with the Mexican Ministry of Economy, where the role of Seville as an aerospace hub in southern Europe, alongside Toulouse and Hamburg, was addressed. The head of the Economic Intelligence unit, Edgar Ciceño, expressed interest in the framework of the Modernized Global Agreement between Mexico and the European Union.
The mission will continue on Wednesday in Mexico City and Thursday in Monterrey, aiming to consolidate contacts and translate the detected interest into concrete business establishment projects. The City Council hopes that these efforts will result in new investments and the creation of quality jobs for Seville.
