Spanish Regional Delegations Drive Strategic Economic Cooperation with Algeria, Opening New Frontiers for Investment
Algiers, Algeria | April 27th, 2025 — In a promising intervention as a guest of Dzair Tube, Mohamed Bouzembrak, the Economic Representative of the Spanish Regions in Algeria, shed light on the dynamic role Spanish regional entities are playing in fortifying economic exchanges between Algeria and Spain. He outlined a comprehensive strategy focused on facilitating meetings between Spanish companies and Algerian counterparts, providing robust support for business travel arrangements, and actively encouraging deeper cross-border collaboration.
Bouzembrak emphasized that Spanish regions, particularly from the south of Spain, are positioning themselves as pivotal partners in unlocking new investment opportunities in Algeria. Key sectors identified include agriculture, renewable energy, construction, and chemicals. Spanish companies, leveraging their extensive expertise, are offering tailored support through organized business meetings, travel facilitation, and prominent participation in economic events and exhibitions both in Algeria and Spain.
Highlighting concrete examples, Bouzembrak noted that Spanish companies have consistently participated in major agricultural and construction fairs. Events hosted in Madrid, for instance, have attracted a considerable number of Algerian business delegations, creating fertile ground for networking and sector-specific partnerships. These initiatives are often bolstered by state-backed invitations, ensuring smooth visa processes and well-arranged accommodations for visiting Algerian entrepreneurs and investors.
In a major development, Bouzembrak revealed that a landmark partnership is currently underway between Algerian and Spanish enterprises aiming to establish local manufacturing operations within Algeria. This partnership is structured to offer comprehensive services and facilities, catering not only to major corporations but also to small and medium-sized investors. Assistance spans across logistics, visa facilitation, accommodations, and sustained support to ensure that serious investment intentions are realized efficiently.
Bouzembrak particularly highlighted renewable energy — notably solar energy — as a cornerstone for future Algerian-Spanish cooperation. With Algeria’s abundant natural resources and clear governmental support for sustainable development goals, international companies, especially from Spain, are increasingly exploring opportunities in the solar sector. Bouzembrak advised Algerian companies to embrace principles of transparency, actively engage with European counterparts, and seize the momentum created by the global shift towards renewable energy.
Furthermore, he announced a major business event to be organized in Algeria in June by Spanish entities based in Barcelona. This event is designed to offer Algerian companies, especially those involved in manufacturing and the automotive sectors, a strategic platform to connect with Spanish business leaders, foster high-level partnerships, and gain critical industry expertise. Bouzembrak underscored the importance of Algerian businesses participating in international trade fairs and exhibitions to build strong, competitive companies capable of thriving in a globalized economy.
Bouzembrak also pointed to upcoming business meetings scheduled for May and new collaboration opportunities at Barcelona’s port, aiming to strengthen logistical ties and enhance bilateral trade. He passionately stressed that all these initiatives are not merely about fostering economic relations but are also firmly geared towards empowering Algerian youth, creating sustainable jobs, and driving the country’s economic diversification.
Through his detailed and inspiring intervention, Mohamed Bouzembrak reiterated the strong commitment of Spanish regional delegations to support Algeria’s ambitious economic vision, marking a new era of strategic, diversified, and sustainable Algerian-Spanish relations.
