At Afriargel, staying true to our commitment to act as a strategic bridge between markets, we actively participated in Alicante-Oran Week 2025. This event, established as the leading forum for business, institutional, and cultural exchange between both regions, provided the perfect setting to strengthen ties and explore new investment opportunities.
Our presence at this event underscores the importance of the Mediterranean connection as a key driver for mutual growth and economic stability.
A Strengthened Bridge: Business and Diplomacy
The 2025 edition focused on the "New Mediterranean Economy," a concept aimed at digitizing and increasing the sustainability of commercial exchanges. Throughout the week, the Afriargel team participated in roundtables and B2B meetings focused on:
Port Logistics and Connectivity: Analyzing the optimization of maritime routes between the ports of Alicante and Oran to reduce transport times and costs.
Shared Energy Transition: Exploring joint projects in renewable energy, leveraging the solar and wind potential of both regions.
Tourism and Services: Promoting collaboration in high-value-added service sectors and the development of young talent.
Afriargel as a Strategic Facilitator
Our participation had a clear objective: to help companies within our ecosystem find in Oran a secure and efficient gateway to the Algerian market and, by extension, the African continent.
Our key activities at the event:
Investment Advisory: We held meetings with local authorities to review updated legal frameworks and guarantees for foreign investment.
Identifying Local Partners: We expanded our network of contacts with suppliers and distributors in Western Algeria.
Synergies with ONDE: We used this framework to further the goals of our agreement with the ONDE, aligning interests with the business community in Alicante.
Toward a Future of Shared Prosperity
Alicante-Oran Week 2025 reaffirmed that geographical proximity must be accompanied by operational closeness and trust. At Afriargel, we return with a reinforced roadmap to support our clients in their expansion projects across this strategic axis.
We are confident that the agreements initiated during this week will translate into tangible projects that generate value and employment on both shores of the Mediterranean.
