In 2022, Newsec took over property asset management of PC EUROPA, owned by Baltic Horizon Fund.

In this interview, Maria del Carmen G. from the Cluster Habic shares her thoughts on the benefits and impacts of international collaboration through the FGOI project. HABIC is the cluster association representing the habitat, wood, hospitality, and design industries in the Basque Country. ❓ What advantages have you gained by connecting with partners from different geographical regions? Mari highlighted the significant advantages of connecting with partners from diverse regions, including the opportunity to exchange contacts and meet new people within the furniture sector. These connections have provided valuable insights and have been instrumental in learning how to initiate activities or consolidate relationships in other markets. ❓ How has this project impacted your cluster's ability to enter and succeed in new markets? She explained that the project has greatly enhanced the cluster’s ability to connect with and attract companies and profiles that they might not have reached otherwise. ❓ What are the main advantages of a project like this between clusters for supporting exports to third countries? Mari emphasized that collaboration between clusters has generated new connections and brought different perspectives to the table. These fresh viewpoints have been valuable in supporting exports to third countries, offering a more comprehensive approach to international collaboration. ❓ Do you believe that a collaborative model of international representation, such as shared showrooms or offices, has the potential to work with more than one country in a space? She believes that this collaborative model would be particularly beneficial for the European community, as it would foster deeper connections and facilitate more cohesive international representation.
