Basque Invest
ATTRACTING BUSINESSES & HELPING THEM TO BECOME MORE COMPETITIVE
In order to achieve this aim, the team at Basque Invest takes part in trade fairs, with both physical and digital networks from the Basque Country. This pro-active approach enables the Invest team to detect investment opportunities for businesses. We make all the information businesses need to set up and develop in the Basque Country available to them. Our number one priority is to ensure that businesses are competitive both locally and nationally.
