When two continents sign their future on Brickell Avenue
The Capital of the Capital Where Spanish Enterprise Meets Global Ambition
This isn’t just another release in a sea of financial notes. It’s the fourth renewal of a strategic pact that, over seven years, has mobilized €363 million across more than 70 transoceanic projects. In essence, it confirms that Miami is not only “The Capital of Latin America.” It is The Capital of the Capital—the place where Europe, North America, and Latin America negotiate their shared future.
The invisible architecture of transatlantic financial power
-
To grasp the magnitude of this agreement, it’s worth understanding what the ICO is—and why its alliance with Sabadell Miami Branch is no accident.
-
The Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO) is Spain’s state-owned development bank, a vehicle that acts as a growth catalyst and internationalization lever for Spanish companies. Its mandate: finance projects that are not only profitable but also strategic for Spain’s economic policy and sustainability goals, aligned with the European Union’s Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
-
Sabadell Miami Branch, for its part, is much more than a bank branch. It is a living financial bridge between both sides of the Atlantic, specializing in guiding Spanish firms through their international expansion into the Americas. Its expertise lies in navigating cultural, regulatory, and operational codes on both shores.
-
Together, they create an intelligent capital corridor: it’s not just about moving money—it’s about moving trust, know-how, and value-adding networks.
Where does this capital flow—by sector and geography?
According to ICO data, funds deployed under prior agreements with Sabadell Miami Branch have financed key sectors:
-
Construction and infrastructure: from sustainable real estate developments in Miami and Houston to road and energy infrastructure in Mexico and Peru.

-
Renewable energy: solar, wind, and storage assets in Ecuador, the United States, and Central America, aligned with the Paris Agreement’s climate objectives.
