Freitag, 5 März 2010
Barcelona is preparing to welcome a delegation of businesses from Leeds as part of an initiative to raise the city's international profile.
Marketing Leeds is organising the delegation alongside UK Trade and Investment as part of Leeds in Barcelona - a Festival of Commerce and Culture.
The event will run from March 23 to 25 and follows on from the Leeds in Milan Festival of Commerce and Culture in 2008.
The event will provide businesses from Leeds with the chance to showcase their skills and expertise.
It is hoped that people in Spain will enjoy experiencing a snapshot of the city and its culture.
The legal, financial, cultural, creative and digital, property and tourism sectors will be represented at the event.
Deborah Green, chief executive of Marketing Leeds, said: "This event is a great opportunity for Spanish businesses to explore doing business in the UK and to build some significant relationships with professionals in Leeds."
