Are you looking for new impulses for your production and access to new international markets? The Free State of Bavaria cordially invites you to a delegation trip from 16.06. to 19.06.2026 to the industrial heart of northern Spain: the Basque Country. Under the leadership of State Secretary Tobias Gotthardt, this delegation trip offers Bavarian companies from the mechanical engineering, production and automation sectors an exclusive platform for tapping into new market opportunities and collaborations.
Why the Basque Country?
The Basque Country is much more than an industrial region - it is a global high-tech center for mechanical engineering and offers enormous opportunities for Bavarian partners with over 450 specialized companies and an export rate of 80%. The Basque mechanical engineering sector is particularly impressive:
- High density of medium-sized global market leaders.
- Industry 4.0 in practice: Highly automated production environments are part of everyday life.
- Strong clusters: A perfectly networked ecosystem of industry, research and universities.
What the official trip offers
- Exclusive factory visits: Direct exchange with management and technology managers at selected companies.
- B2B networking: Structured formats for initiating concrete cooperation potential.
- Funding: The costs for the joint program are covered by the Free State of Bavaria's foreign trade promotion program (participants only bear their own travel and accommodation costs).
