A bit of history

The idea of setting up the Business Country Desk initiative was born during the "Second Mediterranean Competitiveness Day MedEspaña" organised in Valencia on 27 and 28 February 2007, by BUSINESSMED in collaboration with its member the Spanish CEOE.

It was a special counter aimed at assisting and stimulating regional economic activity and creating networks and strategic business partnerships.

In the digital age, the concept has evolved and is now materialized by an accessible and intuitive online platform.
