It is the main annual congress for private equity and M&A professionals in Spain, a working and networking meeting that will feature more than 50 top-level speakers and will bring together more than 400 professionals from the Private Equity and M&A sector.

Participation in the event provides an excellent opportunity for networking and strengthening the positioning in this important segment for ICEX-Invest in Spain, which has been participating in this event since the 2011 edition. 

On 28 October, during the Gala Dinner, the ‘CAPCorp Impulsa Awards’ will be presented to companies that stimulate the corporate operations sector through their recent and ambitious investment and acquisition strategy, while contributing to the promotion of good financial and management practices.

On 29 October, the plenary sessions will be held with the participation of renowned speakers in the sector to discuss the most interesting and topical issues in the sector. On that day, ICEX-Invest in Spain, as an institutional collaborator, will sponsor one of the round tables that complete the conference, where the Director of Finance and Investor Relations, Alberto Sanz, will participate as moderator:

11.45-12.30 SPAIN, AN INVESTMENT MUST

What attracts international investors to our country? The degree of professionalism of the management teams, the average size and attractiveness of the companies, the strategic location?

Are Spanish ‘high quality assets’ consolidating themselves as an unbeatable opportunity for foreign funds? Does this mean that the profiles of funds coming to our country are different and from different origins? How is the regulatory framework on foreign investment in our country, approved last year, affecting investment and the closing of operations?
