Within its International Promotion Plan for 2018 the Cadiz Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Provincial Council of Cadiz as well as with the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund), organised this trip which represents an opportunity to promote Spanish companies and improve their reach in countries like Turkey, whose maritime sector is growing.

VI International Fair IMEX Andalusia 2018 on 11th October

José Antonio Domínguez Castro and Enrique Ortiz-Bastos attended the VI International Fair IMEX Andalusia 2018 on 11th October. The fair was organized by the Concejería de Conocimiento, Investigación y Universidad in collaboration with the Trade Promotion Agency of Andalusia – Extenda – and the magazine Moneda Única.

The fair IMEX Andalusia 2018 affirms its position as a fundamental meeting place for export and import companies with delegations from over 51 countries, various Chambers of Commerce as well as private organizations specialized in international trade and logistics such as AIYON Abogados.

We found particularly interesting the talks on the development of e-commerce in Europe with a detailed analysis of our neighbouring countries and the subsequent talk on the always complex customs controls, both delivered by YUSEN Logistics. The conference on multicurrency credit and the exchange risk in international operations organized by Bankinter was also very useful and instructional.

Our law firm would like to thank the organizing entities as well as all the sponsoring companies that supported the organization of this international event for the effort put in, and we hope that the next edition will be equally successful and prolific.
