SUBCONTEX - Alava Chamber of Commerce

The Basque Country, or Euskadi, is a region in northern Spain with around 2.2 million inhabitants. It is well known for its strong culture, advanced industry, and high quality of life. The Basque economy is one of the most developed in Spain, with important sectors such as energy, manufacturing, automotive, and technology.

Subcontracting plays a key role in the Basque economy. Almost 30% of Basque industrial companies are dedicated to subcontracting, and more than 54% of them are exporters. Many small and medium-sized firms specialize in producing parts, components, and services for larger international companies. This network of specialized subcontractors is highly competitive and offers high-quality solutions.

The Chambers of Commerce in Euskadi support this system by connecting foreign buyers with local subcontractors. They collect the needs of international buyers and share them with their network of associated companies. In this way, they make sure that buyers receive proposals that are well aligned with their requirements. The Chambers also organize trade fairs, business meetings, and provide information to make international cooperation easier.
