High-Level Participation at a Strategic Atlantic Forum
The seventh edition of the La Toja Forum – Atlantic Link Forum, held from October 2–4 on Illa da Toxa in Galicia, brought together global leaders, economists, academics, and innovators. They focused on addressing the challenges shaping the Atlantic region. Javier Cárdenas Moreno, CEO of Rhino Equipment, participated actively in this influential gathering. He represented the growing role of private-sector leadership in continental dialogue. The event served as a strategic setting where executives, policymakers, and institutional representatives exchanged visions. They discussed economic cooperation, resilience, innovation, and shared development across Europe and the Americas. As part of this broader context, Cárdenas Moreno highlighted the importance of advancing public–private partnerships. He aligned them with long-term economic initiatives similar to those promoted by institutions featured on platforms like Invest in Spain (https://www.investinspain.org) or ICEX (https://www.icex.es). These provide insight into the dynamics of international business in the region.
