To do this COFIDES will provide a joint venture loan of €7m through the Fund for Foreign Investment (FIEX) - €4.67m and from COFIDES own resources - €2.33m. This agreement will allow Tecnocom to strengthen its financial structure and help to boost the international development of the company, giving the Society Corporate funding to partially finance the investment made in its subsidiaries in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Paraguay.

COFIDES Chairman and CEO, Salvador Marín stressed “the great aptitude of Spanish companies for product innovation and services, allowing them to be very competitive in foreign markets”.

Tecnocom Board Director Javier Martín Director stressed “The attractiveness of the Latin American region in the growth plans of the Company. Tecnocom has been developing, in recent years a major effort to grow organically in the region where it currently has major clients in all sectors. The plans of the company are developing in all sectors where it operates, providing local services and integrating the companies into the culture and working environment of each country”.
