The traditional New Year’s reception marked the beginning of a series of events that the German Chamber of Commerce for Spain will celebrate during 2017 on the occasion of its centenary.
In Madrid, representatives of the member companies and institutions met with the aim of further strengthening the commercial and economic ties between the two countries.
It was in 1917 when a group of businessmen in Barcelona joined forces to strengthen economic relations between Spain and Germany, a first step that would give rise to the German Chamber of Commerce for Spain, which today continues to provide structural support to entrepreneurs who are committed to the German or Spanish market, respectively.
