The Regional Secretary for the Economy, Vasco Cordeiro, presides over the opening session of the conference “Business Opportunities in the Azores” in Fall River next Friday. This is an initiative of the Agency for the Promotion of Investment in the Azores (APIA) that will gather businesspeople and investors from the state of Massachusetts.
For the Regional Secretary, this “will be an opportunity to promote among investors and businesspeople the attractive conditions of the Azores for investments in the areas of renewable energies, sea, agriculture or fisheries.”
“The United States have recently gone through a difficult financial crisis. At a moment when there signs of recovery, these are good opportunities to demonstrate that the Azores are a place with various business opportunities that might prove very interesting,” stated Vasco Cordeiro.
In addition to the Regional Secretariat for the Economy, the conference will be attended by the Chairman of APIA, Gualter Couto, who will present a paper on the available incentive scheme in the Azores to attract external investment.
