The Cámara Oficial de Comercio, Industria, Servicios y Navegación de Málaga celebrated its 140th anniversary this Monday with an institutional event at the Museo de Málaga, where it presented nine recognitions to institutions and entities that have accompanied the corporation throughout its history and have contributed to the economic, business and social development of the province.
The distinctions went to the Junta de Andalucía, the Ayuntamiento de Málaga, the Diputación Provincial de Málaga, the Cámara de Comercio de España, the Consejo Andaluz de Cámaras de Comercio, the Confederación de Empresarios de Málaga, the Autoridad Portuaria de Málaga, the Archicofradía de la Sangre and the Antigua Casa de Guardia. Each received an artistic reproduction of the door of the Palacio de Villalcázar, the institution's headquarters since 1991.
Services for the whole province
The president of the Cámara, José Carlos Escribano, placed internationalization, innovation, digitalization, sustainability, training and the incorporation of new technologies such as artificial intelligence among the main areas of action, in order to improve the competitiveness of companies. He also stressed the willingness to advance in extending chamber services to the whole province in order to learn first-hand about the needs of the productive fabric of all municipalities and comarcas.
Escribano defended collaboration between public administrations, institutions and business organizations as a tool to boost economic growth and generate opportunities. In his speech, he stated that the Cámara aims to remain a «useful, close and representative» institution, capable of accompanying companies in their difficulties and helping them take advantage of opportunities.
From 1886 to the Palacio de Villalcázar
The president recalled that the institution was founded in 1886, when a group of Málaga businessmen promoted its creation to represent and defend the interests of commerce and business activity, and linked its evolution to the economic transformation of the province. He also mentioned the relationship of the Palacio de Villalcázar with the corporation's origins, as it was the residence of the conde de Villalcázar de Sirga, first prior of the Real Consulado Marítimo y Terrestre de Málaga, created in 1785.
The commemoration included the screening of two audiovisual pieces on the institution's 140 years of history and its commitment to the future, as well as musical performances by Rubén Delgado Castillo. At the closing, Escribano insisted on the need to continue working jointly and highlighted support for charitable, health and cultural initiatives.
Among those attending the event were the third vice-president of the Junta de Andalucía and regional minister of Economy, Finance and European Funds, Carolina España; the regional minister of Employment, Business and Self-Employment, Rocío Blanco; the mayor of Málaga, Francisco de la Torre; the president of the Diputación Provincial de Málaga, Francisco Salado, and the president of the Cámara de Comercio de España, José Luis Bonet, as detailed by the chamber corporation.
