Numbers aside, there are many 
other reasons to choose Spain as 
your next investment destination, 
such as its world-class infrastructure, 
its talent and, of course, its quality 
of life. You can find much more 
about this at the website of “Invest in 
Spain,” the FDI department of “ICEX 
Spain Trade and Investment.” 
	
With all this in mind, no wonder 
why 20,582 foreign companies have 
already chosen Spain to do business 
in Spain and third markets. These 
international firms established 
in Spain are responsible for 
approximately 40% of Spain’s total 
worldwide exports.
	
Boasting 4,055 subsidiaries, the 
United States is Spain’s top foreign 
investor, with €117.1 billion invested. 
If you, as an Illinois company, would 
like to be part of this group of US 
companies already enjoying Spanish 
dynamism and need more details, 
our team at the Trade Commission 
of the Embassy of Spain in Chicago is 
happy to help.
