Representatives from nine companies took part in a mission to Colombia (from 27 November to 1 December) organised by the Basque Energy Cluster, to find out about the opportunities offered by the Latin American country in the energy sector, and more specifically in the electrical equipment sector, as well as to make contact with Colombian companies and entities during the FISE Trade Show in Medellin, one of the most important fairs of the sector in Latin America.
The mission was divided into two parts: Firstly, a 2-day visit to Bogotá to learn first hand about the country's plans in the energy sector, with special emphasis on the renewable energy and electrical grid sectors, and secondly, participation in the FISE Trade Show in Medellin, aimed at the electrical goods and related services sector. This fair offered an ideal setting to establish contacts with companies from Colombia and the rest of Latin America. The companies taking part were Arteche, Dominion, Euskabea, Ingeteam, MESA, Ormazabal, Tecnalia, Uriarte Safybox, and Zigor.
The mission has been co-organised between the Basque Energy Cluster and the Bogotá and Medellin Energy Clusters which are managed by the Chambers of Commerce from both regions. This allowed the Bogotá visit to have a more institutional agenda, where the Basque companies were able to learn first-hand about the Colombian government’s new regulations and the country’s new perspectives on energy matters. This was followed by B2B meetings with 8 companies from the Colombian electricity sector, and two visits to some of the largest companies in the region: Equitel and Codensa (Enel).
For the second part of the week the mission moved to Medellin in order to attend the FISE fair, hold business meetings with the electric companies from the region, create business contacts and visit the stands of the most important Latin American companies in the secto.
