An updated agreement between CaixaBank and Fundación Asprima was signed in Madrid, aimed at further developing and supporting the Spanish real estate market. The document not only reaffirms ongoing cooperation but also expands joint initiatives focused on enhancing professionalism and introducing new financial instruments for industry participants. Key priorities include supporting major events such as Efimad, which annually brings together thousands of professionals and investors.
The agreement, signed by CaixaBank’s Director of Corporate Business Marc Benhamou and Fundación Asprima President Carolina Roca, marks a logical continuation of their long-standing partnership. Both parties emphasize that their alliance enables not only the exchange of expertise but also the creation of new standards for the entire sector. This year places particular emphasis on educational programs and access to specialized financial solutions for developers and market professionals.
New horizons
Efimad organizers highlight that the forum has once again confirmed its status as the leading platform for discussing current challenges and finding practical solutions. More than 3,000 participants had the opportunity to interact directly with top experts, discuss trends, and discover innovative products that could reshape the real estate landscape.
Carolina Roca believes that such meetings not only facilitate knowledge sharing, but also help forge long-term partnerships between companies. According to her, it is precisely these initiatives that allow the industry to move forward despite economic fluctuations and stricter regulations for developers. This year, special attention was given to sustainable development and the integration of digital technologies into project management processes.
Financial instruments
CaixaBank, in turn, continues to expand its range of products for construction companies and investors. Marc Benhamou emphasizes that the bank is ready to offer tailored solutions that take into account the specifics of each project. Priority areas include supporting innovation, developing educational programs, and creating conditions for the sector’s sustainable growth.
The agreement provides not only for financing, but also for joint work on new educational initiatives. This will enable both young professionals and experienced market players to access up-to-date knowledge and tools vital for successful project implementation in a changing economic environment.
Professionalization of the sector
Market participants note that the partnership between CaixaBank and Fundación Asprima is fostering greater trust in the real estate sector. Thanks to their joint efforts, they are not only attracting investment but also establishing transparent rules for all stakeholders. This is especially important amid growing competition and tighter regulatory requirements.
In the coming months, both parties plan to launch a series of new initiatives aimed at improving the qualifications of professionals and introducing modern project management standards. These measures are expected to boost company efficiency and enhance the quality of completed developments.
The future of the market
Experts predict that similar alliances will drive change in Spain’s real estate market. Joint projects between banks and professional associations are opening new opportunities for investors and developers, as well as encouraging innovation and greater transparency within the industry. In times of economic uncertainty, such partnerships become especially significant.
At the same time, representatives of both organizations emphasize their readiness to adapt to new challenges and continue working to create a favorable environment for the market’s growth. In the near future, new educational programs are expected to be launched and access to specialized financial products will be expanded for all sector participants.
For reference, Fundación Asprima is one of Spain’s leading nonprofit organizations in the real estate sector, actively promoting professional standards and supporting innovation. CaixaBank is the largest Spanish bank, specializing in corporate and retail services as well as construction project financing. Their cooperation has long shaped the direction of the market and set new benchmarks for the entire industry.
