CaixaBank and CEST Forge Strategic Partnership for Business Development in Tenerife
Joint Commitment to Growth
The Círculo de Empresarios y Profesionales del Sur de Tenerife (CEST) and CaixaBank have established a partnership aimed at transcending a mere financial agreement. This collaboration signifies a shared commitment to both the business and social development of the region. The initiative will not only provide members with access to financial solutions under preferential and advantageous conditions, but it also opens a framework for collaboration aimed at generating knowledge, enhancing innovation, and creating new opportunities for cooperation. The agreement was signed by Javier Cabrera, President of CEST, and Manuel Afonso, Territorial Director of CaixaBank in the Canary Islands.
Significance of the Agreement
During the signing event, the President of CEST emphasised the importance of the agreement, stating, “This collaboration represents a highly valuable tool for our businesses and professionals, as it reinforces our commitment to providing useful, efficient, and tailored solutions to their real needs.” He expressed that “with CaixaBank, we take another step toward consolidating a dynamic and sustainable economic system in Southern Tenerife.”
CaixaBank’s Commitment
In turn, the Territorial Director of CaixaBank in the Canary Islands highlighted the entity’s focus on specialisation as key to supporting the productive fabric of Southern Tenerife. He noted that this will involve tailored solutions from CaixaBank’s extensive network of offices and business centres, which is the largest in the sector across the Islands.
Benefits of the Partnership
The agreement provides CEST members with access to a wide range of financial products under favourable conditions. It also includes the development of joint activities such as seminars, conferences, and business meetings designed to promote training and innovation. Cabrera emphasised, “This is not just about financial advantages; it is about creating knowledge, support, and new business opportunities that will strengthen the business sector in Southern Tenerife.”
Impact on the Region
The CEST President added, “Southern Tenerife is the economic engine of the Canary Islands and requires solid allies who understand its strategic importance. With this agreement, we are building a real bridge between financial entities and the productive fabric, thus strengthening not just businesses, but also families and society as a whole.” Furthermore, the Territorial Director of CaixaBank in the Canary Islands underscored “the clearly innovative focus of this agreement, which aims to provide companies with financial tools to undertake projects that align with their needs in terms of expansion, innovation, and sustainability, while also focusing on shared values with the Círculo to build a more prosperous future for Southern Tenerife.”
