The program continues its benefits to new ambassadors in 2020 thanks to the successful reception and results of the last year. In 2019, a total of 19 national and international ambassadors participated in the program bringing 34 investment initiatives to the islands that resulted in 17 qualified leads as well as the creation of 6 new companies in the Canary Islands. Both, leads and investments attracted by the ambassadors were incentivized by the program.
This success is mainly due to the attractive value proposal the Canary Islands offer to those companies looking for new destinations to expand, relocate, or delocalize their business. All of this because they want to expand to new markets, or they must face current challenges as the ones caused by the Brexit.
