ICEX-Invest in Spain is taking part in Focus London 2022, the international location market for the audiovisual industry, which is being held at the Business Design Centre in London on 6 and 7 December. The Spanish pavilion will be located at stand D2.
ICEX-Invest in Spain will take advantage of its presence at the event to present Spain as a shooting location and the competitive advantages that the country offers to this industry.
This year, in addition to promoting the system of tax incentives for international shooting and special visas for the audiovisual industry, the ‘Spain Audiovisual Bureau’, launched in May, will be presented. This is a one-stop shop for advice and support for companies in the sector, with all the information related to internationalisation, both to attract investment and filming to Spain, and to help Spanish companies and productions to develop their projects abroad.
There will also be a cocktail-networking event that will allow attendees to meet with Spanish companies and organisations that promote the attractiveness of international shooting in Spain.
