Andalucía TRADE Global 2026 will take place on November 17 and 18 at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga (FYCMA), where it will bring together Andalusian companies and representatives from the 75 markets in which the Andalucía TRADE International Network operates. The meeting will allow for hundreds of B2B meetings aimed at analyzing business opportunities and ways to access foreign markets.
The event, considered the main annual meeting of Andalucía dedicated to international trade, alternates its location between Seville and Málaga each year. The 2026 edition returns to the capital of the Costa del Sol after the one held in 2024, which had to be conducted in an online format due to the consequences of the 'dana'. That call registered a total of 1,179 B2B meetings.
This year's edition will be organized by the Ministry of University, Industry, Energy and Innovation of the Junta de Andalucía, through Andalucía TRADE, and will count on the collaboration of the Confederation of Entrepreneurs of Andalucía (CEA), the Andalusian Council of Chambers of Commerce, Industries, Services and Navigation, and ICEX Spain Export and Investment.
The program will feature an exhibition space from Andalucía TRADE and a zone dedicated to the event's collaborators, as well as to agents and companies providing services related to business internationalization. Among the expected participants are logistics companies, financial entities, and specialized consulting firms, among other providers linked to foreign trade operations.
In an adjacent area, the representatives of the Andalucía TRADE International Network corresponding to the 75 countries from five continents in which it provides services will be located. These professionals will hold pre-arranged meetings with registered companies to provide information about the conditions of each market, business opportunities, available services, and the current scenario of international trade.
The registration period will open in September. From then on, interested companies will be able to reserve appointments with representatives from selected markets to hold B2B meetings, register for the inaugural conference, and arrange meetings with strategic partners offering services related to internationalization.
Participating companies will also have access to information about the various available public instruments to facilitate their foreign activity and improve their position in international markets. Andalucía TRADE Global has been held for more than twenty years and has been adapting its format to the characteristics and needs of each edition.
The organization of the event will be co-financed with funds from the European Union through the FEDER program of Andalucía 2021-2027, which has a community contribution of 85%.
The program planned for this year will also include a subsequent internal working session aimed at the Andalucía TRADE International Network. During this meeting, the news of the programs and services managed by the public agency will be addressed, including the line of incentives aimed at internationalization and the promotion of Andalusian products in foreign markets.
Among the available instruments is the Order of Incentives for Foreign Trade and Internationalization, managed through Andalucía TRADE and endowed with a budget of 11.5 million euros. The call remains open until December and aims to reach more than 2,000 companies, with special attention to SMEs and their exporting activity.
The aids cover actions related to participation in international fairs, trade missions, business agendas abroad, international promotion actions, and initiatives aimed at commercial implantation in other markets. This measure is part of the regional policy to support business internationalization and the geographic diversification of Andalusian exports.
During Andalucía TRADE Global, companies will also learn about other services and instruments from the public agency related to financing, R&D+i, and industrial development, in addition to measures included in the Strategy for Internationalization of the Andalusian Economy 2021-2027.
