2.1. Multilatinas
Multilatinas are Latin American companies that have managed to expand beyond their national and regional borders, playing a fundamental role in the development and modernisation of the Latin American economy. Their international expansion not only demonstrates their entrepreneurial capacity, but also contributes to the increase of economic, commercial and cultural relations with other parts of the world, and especially with Spain, where they have established their base of operations towards other relevant markets such as Europe. Multilatinas, through their growth, contribute significantly to socio-economic progress and to the strengthening of Latin America's international presence.

The Association is constituted as a place of "reference for Multilatinas in Spain". It is also a "meeting point" for the Ibero-American business ecosystem: companies, entrepreneurs, investors, managers, authorities, opinion leaders, academics and professionals have an ideal space to analyse, reflect and debate in a broad, specialised and multidisciplinary way on business, economic, commercial, environmental, legal, institutional, technological and social issues, as well as others of geo-strategic, geo-economic and geopolitical interest.
