The delegation will be led by Daniel Calleja Crespo, DG Enterprise director-general and Commission SME Envoy.

Following the visit to Sao Paolo, the delegation will be led on a ‘Mission for Growth’ in Montevideo, Uruguay, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago de Chile, Chile, between April 25 and 27, to discuss how to foster industrial cooperation with politicians and entrepreneurs of the host countries.

Key industrial sectors that will be targeted during these visits include green economy, biotechnology, key enabling technologies, mining, construction, shipping and tourism.
