After the welcome by the director of Southern Europe, the mayor of Algeciras presented the conference by Jorge Ramos, entitled “Free Trade Zone of Cádiz: The commitment to improving our production model.” Landaluce reviewed the political and professional career of the State delegate, whom he described as a tireless worker.
With a massive attendance of close to 180 people, the Free Zone delegate explained the situation in which the Free Zone found itself and the current situation, after four years of hard work in which the Consortium has been present throughout the province with actions that exceed 180 million euros in investments.
Jorge Ramos also detailed the important network of business centers, with more than 67,000 m2 of facilities, that has been built in municipalities such as Cádiz capital, Algeciras, El Puerto de Santa María, Chiclana, Arcos, Vejer and highlighted the importance of the recent agreement with the La Línea City Council for the construction of a new Business center, as well as for the search for land for the expansion of the Tax Precinct.
The Consortium delegate also explained the large extension and expansion project that the Cádiz Free Trade Zone is carrying out and that will make it possible for the Cádiz tax area to go from having 330,000 m2 to 1,300,000 m2, with the expansion and expansion in Los Barrios, Cádiz capital, Algeciras, La Línea, Jerez and Arcos.
He added that this project will generate a significant supply of attractive land and available spaces for the establishment of companies, which will increase their competitiveness by being able to benefit from the customs and tax advantages inherent to a tax precinct and will, therefore, save production costs. “The extension and expansion project will position the Cádiz Free Trade Zone as the first industrial and economic hub of the province in the next 2-5 years, with the consequent revitalization of economic activity throughout its area of influence and a business volume in these areas exceeding 1,500 million euros,” he explained.
Jorge Ramos stressed the importance of loyalty and institutional collaboration and encouraged the people of Cádiz to “believe themselves to be the best, because we are a people with great ideas and great workers,” concluded Ramos, who encouraged businessmen who are the ones who create companies and therefore jobs to benefit from the advantages offered by the Free Zone, not only customs and tax, but also in general services, advice, rates, etc.
