Zaragoza Shines in Miami as Europe’s New Hub to Grow, Live, and Innovate

Miami, FL – May 19, 2025 – There’s a city in Europe where ancient Roman walls stand just steps away from futuristic logistics platforms. A place where tech startups flourish under the Iberian sun, and wind turbines power industries with clean, renewable energy. That city is Zaragoza — and on May 22, it comes to Miami.

Zaragoza, the capital of Aragón, is no longer Spain’s best-kept secret. It’s emerging as a strategic gateway to Europe, where centuries of cultural heritage meet bold visions of the future. At the event “Zaragoza: A City of Opportunities for Investment in Europe”, organized by the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Zaragoza City Council, business leaders and investors will discover why this city is captivating the attention of global decision-makers.

Nestled between Madrid and Barcelona, Zaragoza connects 65% of Spain’s GDP within a 300-kilometer radius. It is home to PLAZA, Spain’s largest logistics platform, and hosts the country’s second-largest cargo airport. Its location, infrastructure, and efficient transportation networks have turned it into a logistics powerhouse.

But Zaragoza is more than numbers and networks. It is a smart, green, and livable city, where 90% of its energy comes from renewable sources, making it a sustainable home for forward-thinking companies. It offers world-class talent, a thriving innovation ecosystem, and competitive tax advantages—all in a city known for its safety, beauty, and unmatched quality of life. Moreover, Zaragoza stands out as a gateway to Europe for companies seeking to expand an stablish a commercial base on the continent.

And then, there’s the soul of Zaragoza: its majestic basilicas, Moorish palaces, Roman ruins, contemporary museums, and vibrant culinary scene. With over 2,000 years of history, Zaragoza is a cultural jewel, a place where creativity and heritage fuel progress.

Leading the Miami forum is Mayor Natalia Chueca, a bold, strategic voice in European urban innovation. With a background in corporate marketing and digital transformation, Chueca has played a pivotal role in Zaragoza’s evolution into a smart, sustainable, and business-friendly city. Since her election in 2023, she has become a national figure in smart mobility and green governance, and was recently recognized with the MIA 2024 Award for her leadership. Her presence signals Zaragoza’s serious commitment to international partnerships and future-focused growth.

This is not just an investment presentation. It’s an invitation to build the future. She will be joined by a distinguished panel of experts and leaders who are helping shape Zaragoza’s global strategy:

– Carlos Gimeno, Regional Minister of Economy, Digital Transformation, and Transparency
– Ramón Adé, Manager of TMZ Logistics Platform
– Marcos LaTorre, CEO of Hiberus International
– Pamela Fuertes Berti, Dean of The Miguel B. Fernandez School of Global Business at Miami Dade College.
