amec presents each year, to the media, a study conducted within its community. The study has three objectives:
Draw the international panorama of Spanish companies, determine which factors have had (or are having) the greatest impact on the industry, what are the trends, challenges, needs and opportunities for expansion.
To generate a powerful tool for our members to make decisions.
With this information, update the lobbying plan with the Administration and Institutions.
The market foresight report evaluates the potential of priority markets for member companies from an eminently sectoral and projection perspective.
The assessment of potential is based on the amec Index, composed of indicators grouped under the pillars of Competitiveness, Regulation and Governance, Economic Projection, Business Environment, Market Potential and Sector Opportunity.
Its main differentiating element is the participation of the industrial sectors themselves in its preparation.
The Internationalization Strength Index (ISI) summarizes the strength and robustness of the internationalization of the Spanish industrial economy.
Presented to the media each year, the ISI is made available to internationalization agents and public opinion as an instrument that contributes to the strategic analysis of the Spanish foreign sector.

What international events are not to be missed?
Identify the most suitable international trade fairs for your company. We explain which are the most relevant events.
The choice of trade fairs to attend is essential for companies with an international profile. They are showcases where companies from all over the world exhibit their products and services. They are a marketplace where buyers and sellers can meet, get to know a market first hand or discover the latest trends in the sector.
We advise you on the classification of your product. Benefit from the experience gained through working with other members of your industry.
Knowing the code of your product is essential to properly complete the export documentation, to know the tariffs and measures applied to imports in your customers’ markets, as well as to obtain key information for market intelligence.
All products have a unique classification number used in international trade. The Harmonized System (HS), managed by the World Customs Organization to classify goods developed at the international level is the most prominent system. All products share the first 6 digits, to which each country may add additional digits for statistical and tax purposes.
We help you calculate duties and other taxes to know their effect on the final cost of your products.
Import regulations, such as high tariffs and anti-dumping and safeguard measures, are common in international trade and are expected to expand in the future. At the same time, the European Union’s trade agreements with other countries and groupings represent a great opportunity for European companies to benefit from privileged access to these markets.
The amec Forum is the great annual event for industrial companies that want to look beyond the present. Each edition focuses on a key future challenge for the industry, approached from the perspective of foresight and with speakers of international reference.
It is a day to be inspired, to question oneself and to find new keys to face a complex and constantly changing global environment.
The NEXT Summit is amec’s international market foresight event. A space where we give you the keys to design your market strategy with criteria and vision.
We celebrate it at the end of the year so that you can incorporate everything you have learned into your internationalization plan for the following year.
