Casa de México in Malaga and Andalusia signs collaboration agreement with Uppery Club

The Casa de México in Málaga and Andalusia and the Uppery Club have signed a collaboration agreement between both entities that will allow the Casa de México in Málaga and Andalusia, directed by the writer and journalist Claudia Luna Palencia, to use the facilities of the Uppery Club, headed by Manuel Márquez, as temporary headquarters. 

Recently created, the Casa de México in Málaga and Andalusia is a private organisation that arose from the vocation of a group of Mexicans and Spaniards interested in promoting cultural, business, economic, financial, real estate investment and student relations between Mexico and Andalusia.  

It also has a strong social and humanitarian vocation and is in favour of the Sustainable Development Goals, the search for equality, equity and social inclusion.  

For its part, the Uppery Club is a business and senior management club located in Malaga, offering premium services and experiences for its members, with the ambitious aim of becoming the epicentre of business on the Costa del Sol. All this, promoting primarily human values, continuous improvement and the pursuit of business excellence. 

"For Uppery Club this alliance contributes to the consolidation of Uppery Club as a host venue for the international business ecosystem, which values the opportunities that Malaga offers and the value that we contribute as a community that supports and promotes the private sector", said Manuel Márquez.  

In Luna Palencia's opinion, the Casa de México in Malaga and Andalusia could not be in a better place because Malaga has earned a place of preference not only for businessmen from other provinces but also for foreign businessmen who, after Madrid and Barcelona, are setting their investment objectives in Malaga. "I am grateful for the generosity of the Uppery Club, which speaks of the human quality of the people who make it up". 

"Malaga is a city of open doors that offers prosperity and opportunities. It not only means quality of life but also opportunities for ideas to flourish. I am sure that the House of Mexico in Malaga and Andalusia will be very well received by Malaga and Andalusians because we have great vital communicating vessels and there are many things that bring us together," said Claudia Luna Palencia. 

While since the mid-1990s many Spanish companies have crossed the Atlantic to position themselves in Mexico, to such an extent that there are more than 7,000 Spanish companies in the Aztec country, in the last three decades, large Mexican capital has begun to invest in various Spanish sectors.  

For example, Carlos Slim, Mexico's richest businessman, with a fortune of 93 billion euros, is the main shareholder of the construction company Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC) and owns 75% of Realia.  

"These last few years have been very dynamic for the arrival of Mexican capital in Spain, and it is no longer only the large investor, there are also many small and medium-sized companies. To date there are almost a thousand companies with Mexican capital within the Iberian ecosystem and many more will come to the popular Malaga," said the Spanish-Mexican journalist and director of the Casa de México in Malaga and Andalusia.
