Pablo Gato (journalist and President of Gato Communications, a communications consulting company) moderated the panel.<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by around forty professionals, both from Spain and the US. The focus of the discussion was the future of Spanish companies in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The US is a market of growing interest for Spanish corporations to the point that Spain has become of the largest foreign investors in this country. The US is the largest economy in the world, with a GDP of seventeen trillion dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpain is ahead of even the US in specific sectors of the economy, such has infrastructures, financial services, energy of fashion. Spain is a world leader in these sectors and therefore its companies compete with a lot of success in the US market\u201d, stated Jos\u00e9 Montero, who advises international companies how do to business in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The corporate Spanish investment in the US is growing. However, it still only represents 4% of the total business volume of corporate Spain. 70% is focused in the European Union market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a natural evolution. Because of cultural proximity and language, the Spanish companies that wanted to do international operations expanded first to Latin America. After that, the investments went to the European Union market since Spain is a member. Now it is time for the next step, which is to penetrate the US market. This market brings great opportunities for long term investments\u201d, said Manuel S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n<p>All the panelists agreed that Spain must continue its efforts to boost its promotion as a country and thus assist the Spanish companies to compete internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrganizations such as USEC are valuable and USEC has to keep developing relationships and contacts to add value to the project\u201d said professor Skuba.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalo Garc\u00eda, President of USEC, encouraged Spanish executives and entrepreneurs to join the organization so the Spanish community is better represented.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 4th, 2016 from 6 pm to 8:30 pm Georgetown University &#8211; Business School \u2013 Rafik Hariri Building &#8211; Room 440 (4th\u00a0floor) 37th and O St., N.W.,\u00a0Washington, DC 20007 ROUND TABLE:\u00a0moderated by\u00a0PABLO GATO, CEO at GATO Communications.
