- The Director of Igape highlighted the importance of these contacts in further strengthening Galicia’s international profile and opening up new business opportunities for Galician companies. In this regard, she pointed to the role of Igape’s office in China in facilitating contacts, identifying opportunities and supporting Galician businesses operating in this market.
