Andalucía TRADE Global 2026, under the slogan “Boost your company in the world,” is scheduled for 17 and 18 November at FYCMA, the Málaga Trade Fair and Congress Centre. The annual event on international trade in Andalucía will bring together representatives of the Andalucía TRADE International Network, which provides services in 75 countries, for hundreds of business-to-business (B2B) meetings with participating Andalusian companies.
The event is held each year, alternating between Seville and Málaga. In 2024, it took place in Málaga in an online format because of the severe weather event that hit the area; organisers reported 1,179 B2B meetings. The 2026 event is being organised by the Regional Ministry of University, Industry, Energy and Innovation through Andalucía TRADE, with the collaboration of the Confederation of Business Owners of Andalucía (CEA), the Andalusian Council of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation, and ICEX Spain Trade and Investment.
Alongside Andalucía TRADE’s exhibition area, the venue will include stands for event partners and for registered organisations offering internationalisation support, such as logistics companies, financial institutions and specialist consultancies. Representatives of the international network in the 75 countries where it operates will hold pre-arranged meetings with company professionals. They will provide information on available services and developments, as well as on the current global foreign-trade environment.
Registration is expected to open in September. Interested companies will be able to register, book meetings with countries of interest, sign up for the opening conference and arrange meetings with strategic partners providing internationalisation services. They will also be able to access the instruments offered by the Andalusian government to support their activity in overseas markets.
Andalucía TRADE Global has been held for more than 20 years, adapting its format to the needs of each edition. Its organisation will be co-financed by European Union funds through the Andalucía 2021–2027 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with an EU contribution of 85%.
The programme will be followed by an internal working session for the Andalucía TRADE International Network, covering updates to the agency’s programmes and services, including incentives for internationalisation and overseas product promotion. The regional government’s Order on Incentives for Foreign Trade and Internationalisation, managed by Andalucía TRADE, has a budget of €11.5 million. Its aim is to strengthen Andalusian companies’ presence in international markets, with particular support for small and medium-sized enterprises’ export activity and access to new business opportunities. The call remains open until December and is expected to benefit more than 2,000 companies. Eligible activities include taking part in international trade fairs and commercial missions, arranging overseas business agendas, international promotion and establishing commercial operations in foreign markets.
Companies will also be able to learn about other Andalucía TRADE services and support for exports and competitiveness, including financing, research, development and innovation, and industrial development, as well as measures under the 2021–2027 Strategy for the Internationalisation of the Andalusian Economy.
