Economic and social results for Spain

Regard for country: It is expected that with the setting up of the Institute the amount of lost opportunities will be drastically reduced because of an improved image.

The effect of education: The progress of absorbing and incorporating new technology by future technicians of Chinese companies through training and using of Spanish machinery will lead to a gradual implementation of the machinery and to a better acceptation of Spain as a country.

Permanent Show Room: The possibility created by the Institute to instruct, show and persuade the potential client, makes up for the relative lack of references and the difficulty to attract clients to Spain, which is the situation it has been faced with up to now. This factor will greatly boost future sales.

Services to companies: These services will bring the Spanish Machine tool sector and Chinese companies together in the near future with an extremely practical focus: providing specific solutions to the technical-productive problems of certain companies. These solutions will provide a practical knowledge of the capacity of a machine to produce a specific part and, in the event of a medium-term investment, constitute a clear comparative advantage for the manufacturers who have already demonstrated their capacity.
