The delegate of the Free Zone has thanked “the opportunity that is given to us by participating in forums such as the one promoted by the Assembly of the Spanish Maritime Cluster since it is very important to share the synergies and experiences offered by other members of the entity, in addition to giving us visibility that is very important to strengthen our strategy and promote Cádiz as a blue economy pole”.
Fran González has added that "although we are already able to say that we strengthen ourselves as the pole of the blue sector in the Bay and in the province of Cádiz, our belonging to entities such as the cluster give us the opportunity to create synergies and alliances nationwide, something that is essential for the development of our work model and our projects underway around the blue economy such as Incubazul and Blue Core."
