Actua, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services (CCIS), and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Trade (DIT) organized a trade mission between Retail companies from the United Kingdom and Andorra. The event took place at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Escaldes-Engordany and closed on Thursday, March 7th, with 66 meetings between representatives of the two countries. Participants could discuss trade interests, shopping experiences and further opportunities for companies.
 
Opportunities in Andorra
 
The mission was designed to organize work sessions and meetings with potential consumers. Retail companies could interact with the local market actors who presented the Andorran shopping experience. Representatives of the 12 participating British companies visited various stores in the country and met with the Actua Empresa’s director, Judit Hidalgo, and the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services’ director, Pilar Escaler, to know about business opportunities in Andorra.
