The Spain–United States Business Summit is a premier initiative organized by ICEX, the state-owned agency that promotes the internationalization of Spanish Companies, and the Economic and Commercial Offices of the Spanish Embassy in New York and Chicago, powered by the Richi Foundation, M&T Bank, and SMCU. The summit focuses on strengthening business ties between Spain and the United States -particularly Massachusetts- and on expanding the innovation bridge between Spain and the Boston ecosystem.

By participating, you will have the opportunity to attend high-level discussions with industry experts, discover innovative solutions, and take part in networking events and B2B meetings. 

The summit serves as a critical meeting point for government leaders, investors, and industry executives from both the United States and Spain. By bringing these experts together, the initiative aims to catalyze long-term growth and cross-border partnerships within strategic industries, specifically Biotechnology and Tech.
