This is the catalogue of companies taking part on this business mission to South Korea. They represent the dynamism and business diversity of Catalonia, a country characterised by its industrial endeavour and openness to the world. A commitment to innovation and a high degree of internationalisation are the Catalan economy’s main factors of competitiveness, and when accompanied by our country’s capacity for adaptation, they enable us confidently to assume the challenges of growth and progress in the context of a globalised world. South Korea is a country with exceptional potential and an economic policy that facilitates the international expansion of its companies. The country’s political stability and considerable openness to trade provide a range of opportunities for commercial collaboration between Korea and Catalonia, whether through the establishment of strategic alliances through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, or through other formulas for collaboration. This business mission offers a good sample of Catalan companies from significant sectors such as automobiles, biopharmaceuticals, tourism and fashion, which clearly show the commitment of Catalan business to innovation and to opening up to the world. Catalonia and Korea have highly innovative benchmark companies in these and other sectors that can undertake mutually beneficial projects of collaboration and of investment. I hope that this mission will encourage more intense institutional and business relations between the two countries and offer my kind regards, FELIP PUIG I GODES Honourable Minister for Business and Labour Index AUTO FASHION Ames 8 ACTM 34 Ciac 9 Cóndor 35 Comforsa 10 Costalamel 36 Ficosa 11 Diktons 37 IDIADA12 Escorpión 38 MMM 13 Industrias Valls 39 Promaut 14 Majorica 40 Zanini 15 Marina Grafeuille 41 BIOPHARMA Merinas 42 Promise 43 Accord healthcare 18 RSP51 44 Biocat 19 Sebastian Andreu 45 Biochemize 20 Sita Murt 46 Elm Farmacéutica 20 Smash 47 Fira Barcelona 22 Tèxtil Massana 48 Inkemia 23 Torras 49 Kern pharma 24 Tuset & Riera 50 Lebsa 25 Wom & Now 51 Leitat 26 Yerse 52 Mind the Byte 27 Pharmaphenix 28 Laboratorios Ramón Sala 29 Laboratorios Reig Jofre 30 TOURISM Across Spain 56 Advanced Leisure 57 Avant Grup 58 BCN Turisme 59 Deltanihon 60 Derby Hotels 61 Gotthard Travel Agency 62 Hotel OMM 63 Luxury Packs 64 Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya 65 Terramar Group 66 Value Retail 67 AUTO AUTO AMES – ALEACIONES DE METALES SINTERIZADOS, SA Since 1951, AMES is dedicated to manufacturing and sales of metallic sintered parts.
