At Quadrian we believe passionately in the importance of fostering global linkages among zones worldwide and creating regional synergies, so it was exciting to see the strong representation of Latin America’s free zone leaders at the World Free Zones Organization ("World FZO") Annual Congress in Dubai last week. Leading the charge was the Asociación de Zonas Francas de las Américas - AZFA, alongside Curinde N.V., ANDI - Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia and free zone trailblazers and innovators from across the region. Julio Rodríguez, newly appointed Executive Director of AZFA, and Claudia Pellerano, President of AZFA and Board Member of World FZO, brought great vigour for global collaborations with peers and partners across the world. The delegations also included a roster of young leaders who are coming up the ranks and reinvigorating the LatAm free zone landscape. While in Dubai, CEOs of Latin American free zones also made site visits to leading hubs such as DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) and Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority – a strong indicator how topics such as AI which are core to Quadrian’s innovation drive are shaping the future of zones. As the event progressed and prepared for the closing, it was increasingly clear that this is a new chapter for free zone ecosystems across the globe, represented in force by Latin America and in concert with Africa and the Middle East to write a new chapter of innovation and global collaboration. We are now preparing for free zone leaders and investors from around the world to join us in Curaçao for the XXVII Conferencia de Zonas Francas de Iberoamérica taking place 13-15 November 2024. This milestone event for the region will showcase the latest trends and best practices for zones globally, explore new investment opportunities and examine the impacts of innovation and technology. Quadrian is honoured to be a supporting partner.

Mr. Gioftsios discusses the promising trajectory of equity investment in Greece, emphasizing that the market is poised for growth. He highlights the current positive investment momentum, noting that this is not a bubble but a sustained development course. The focus is on attracting necessary investments to ensure future value and goodwill. He mentions the "spring effect," underscoring the long-term maintenance of Greece's positive real estate image through serious and strategic actions. A key challenge identified is the shortage of technical expertise and manpower to meet property development timelines. Ten Brinke Hellas is making strategic investments in southern Greece, exploring opportunities across all industries nationwide. The group consists of 170 specialists supporting future projects, with significant interest from hotel chains looking to expand in Greece.
