Ever since it was founded by the Phoenicians in 770 BC under the name Malaka, the ancient city of Malaga has been a flourishing commercial center for thousands of years.

To this day the fertility Goddess Malec overlooks the Alboran Sea as a reminder of the city’s prosperous past, present, and future.

Next month, the Andalusian city will co-host the Horasis India Meeting, along with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), to continue in the tradition of forging economic growth.

Introduced 10 years ago, the Horasis India Meeting has become the foremost annual meeting of Indian business leaders and their global counterparts.

With this meeting at the Gran Hotel Miramar, Horasis offers business and government to discuss a wide range of issues related to the Indian economy. Delegates will also examine how to use Spain and Europe as springboard for globalization.

Just as the greatest minds from ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium, and Arabia all convened on its shores, Malaga will once again be a who’s who of the brightest minds in leadership and policymaking, this time with regards to India.

Attendees will explore Indian firms’ rise to global eminence while debating how to grow India’s economy rapidly and sustainably.

There will even be a spiritual leader present, Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji, who will share his perspective on how India offers a broad variety in virtually every aspect of social life.

While most on the outside see only Barcelona and Madrid as major players in the Spanish tech and startup ecosystem, Malaga, too, is vibrant on the scene.

According to Startupxplore, Malaga’s “technology sector is dominated by a combination of public and private institutions (Parque Tecnológico Andaluz (PTA), where the Asociación de Parques Científicos y Tecnológicos de España is located) as well as startups that are trying to build big companies from the city: Hot.esResultados-fútbolFreepikFlaticon or Fishfishme.”

Angel.co lists over 50 startups in the city on its register, and the coastal town is home to the MalagaMakers startup community, which shares a global vision and helps creative engineers and designers, marketeers, web professionals, investors, journalists and all sorts of creative professionals meet in Malaga.

In an interview on The Sociable, Dr. Richter remarked that one of the most memorable and inspirational people he’s met throughout the years was King Felipe VI of Spain when he was the Crown Prince.

“His Majesty is a remarkable person having a broad education and equally broad administrative experience which he now applies to his statehood responsibilities becoming more involved in daily government activities than expected of a modern king. His wisdom is now needed as populism is pressing in the provinces,” said Dr. Ricther.

The Horasis India Meeting will take place June 24-25 in Malaga, on the southern coast of Spain, and will bring together more than 300 members of the Horasis Global Visions Community to inspire India’s future.
