The HuelvaPort Association and the Port of Huelva participate in more than thirty commercial events to promote the positioning of the Port in the different markets.
[Huelva, July 2, 2024] – The HuelvaPort Association, made up of the Huelva port community and dedicated to the commercial promotion and development of the Port of Huelva, announces its change of headquarters to offer a better service to its associates and collaborators. The decision that motivates the move to the Lonja de la Innovación del Puerto de Huelva responds to the need to adapt to new conditions and offer a more modern and functional space for its activities.
In view of this circumstance, the Board of Directors of the association has chosen to make this move official today, taking advantage of the celebration of the eighth General Assembly of HuelvaPort in the new headquarters. In this meeting, which has had a broad representation of partners that make up the various sectors that encompasses the port community, has been a follow-up of the various actions taken during this year by the association. Similarly, members have approved the accounts and forecasts for 2025, as well as the report of activities carried out by the team of the Technical Office of the association.
The session has been chaired by Antonio Ponce, president of HuelvaPort, who has highlighted the great work done by all the companies of the Port Community integrated in HuelvaPort, stressing that “A united port community is essential for our success”.
Founded in July 2016, the HuelvaPort Association celebrates its 8th anniversary this summer.
In this sense, Ponce wanted to highlight the importance of maintaining this unity and commitment, stressing that “We are at a key moment for the Port of Huelva. The Port’s objective is to continue growing, diversifying its activities and consolidating its position in international markets. To do so, we need to continue betting all together on innovation, sustainability and efficiency. This is the only way we will be able to attract new investments and turn the Port of Huelva into an undisputed benchmark in the global port field.”
In line with this last aspect, Antonio Ponce has highlighted the role of the Huelva company associated with HuelvaPort, GTO, which has recently been awarded, together with Alvores Group, the tender for the Logistics Activities Area of the Port of Huelva. Therefore, the President of HuelvaPort has personally congratulated Esteban Sanchez, President of GTO, for this “great essential project for the future development of the Port of Huelva and its entire area of influence, with an area of approximately 60 hectares that will enhance the socio-economic development of the Port Community of Huelva and that combines public and private capital investment”.
In relation to the different commercial actions developed during the first semester of 2024, the presence of HuelvaPort in some of the most important fairs in our country such as FITUR in Madrid, the International Agroexpo Fair held in Don Benito, the International Congress of Red Fruits or the 64th General Assembly of Medcruise in Tarragona, stands out, In addition, during this period the association has launched the information serviceUse your Port”, whose mission is to promote collaboration between the companies of the Port Community of Huelva and the companies of its hinterland, providing a fluid channel of communication between them.
Regarding the new headquarters of the HuelvaPort Association, La Lonja de la Innovación del Puerto de Huelva offers a modern environment equipped with facilities suitable for meetings, events and training activities. This change of venue will allow HuelvaPort to expand its capacity to organize events, conferences and business meetings, for the benefit of its members and the development of activities that enhance the growth of the Port of Huelva. In addition, it is important to note that there are clear synergies for the Port Community. This is largely due to the fact that it has a headquarters that not only emphasizes the commercial promotion of the Port of Huelva, but also has a space for innovation that allows it to promote and encourage the competitiveness of the Port Community.
The president of Huelvaport, Antonio Ponce, said: “This move represents an important step for our association. The Innovation Market offers us a more suitable space for our activities and allows us to enhance our objective, which is none other than to join efforts for the commercial promotion of the Port of Huelva in a more efficient and effective way”.
To conclude, Ponce thanked the Port Authority of Huelva and all the companies that are part of HuelvaPort “for their effort and dedication, thanks to which we have made significant progress in the mission of consolidating the Port of Huelva as a strategic multimodal node and a reference in southwest Europe”.
HuelvaPort, the Association for the Commercial Promotion of the Port of Huelva, currently has more than fifty members, which enrich the portfolio of the Huelva port community, thus consolidating a solid comprehensive range of services.
