The Asturias Economy and Trade Office in Madrid has already begun to operate with the first rounds of meetings of the director of the department, José Luis Huerta, with companies and institutions in the capital.

The director of the office has presented an operational plan focused on the main mission of the entity: the identification of opportunities to attract investment to Asturias. The minister indicated that the office ‘is already up and running’ and specified that in addition to attracting investors, another of the objectives is to serve as a showcase for Asturias in the capital, which can make visible ‘the strengths that we have as a region’.
Regarding the future headquarters of the office, the councillor indicated that the planned deadlines are being met so that it can open in the first four months of next year and reminded that the building, in addition to the office, will also be a meeting place for different institutions.
