Conexiones entre España y Florida

Como principal centro de negocios del Continente Americano, Florida ofrece ventajas únicas para las empresas españolas que buscan oportunidades de negocio en el hemisferio occidental, planean fabricar productos en Florida para exportarlos al resto del mundo, establecen sedes regionales o nacionales, o simplemente utilizan la excelente infraestructura logística de Florida para acceder a otros mercados estratégicos. Prueba de ello es que más de 300 empresas españolas líderes en sus sectores han establecido sus operaciones en el Estado de Florida.

Inversión Española en Florida

España es uno de los principales inversores en Florida. España es una importante fuente de inversión extranjera directa en la economía de Florida, tanto por el capital invertido como por el número de puestos de trabajo creados por empresas españolas.

Creación de empleo: Las empresas españolas emplearon directamente a más de 10.000 habitantes de Florida en 2018. Uno de los mayores atractivos de Florida es el hecho de que hay alrededor de cuatro millones de hispanohablantes en Florida, aproximadamente el 20 por ciento de la población del estado. Esta es una ventaja comparativa sustancial cuando se trata de hacer negocios.
