Barcelona, 25th of September 2024.- InFluenceSpain, the leading government relations and public affairs consultancy in Spain, announces the opening of its new headquarters in Catalonia, under the name of InFluCat. Our new offices in Barcelona, are located in the ‘Barcelona World Trade Centre’, Edificio Sur – Moll de Barcelona (08039). This new strategic space, located in the heart of Barcelona and in the port of Barcelona, reinforces InFluence Spain’s presence in one of the most dynamic and competitive regions of Southern Europe.
At the head of InFluCat will be Enrique Opi, who joined the company in April and has almost 30 years of experience in the government relations sector. Opi has led projects of great relevance for national and international companies in sectors such as gambling, tourism, telecommunications and social services, bringing his experience and deep knowledge of the political and business environment in Catalonia, as well as a large network of contacts in the business world, academia, politics and the Catalan Public Administration. His incorporation to the management of InFluCat ensures a comprehensive and specialized approach, adapted to the particular needs of the Catalan market.
A key step in InFluenceSpain’s expansion
For the CEO of InFluenceSpain, Sebastian Mariz, the opening of InFluCat “reinforces our commitment to continued growth and to consolidating our position as the top consultancy in public affairs and government relations in Spain”. Furthermore, “reinforcing our presence in Catalonia, with Enrique Opi at the lead, will position InFluCat as an indispensable player on the policy and legislative scene in Catalonia”. For Enrique Opi this new challenge means “being able to offer a closer and more adapted service to our clients in the region” and adds “Catalonia has a key role in the Spanish economic and political scenario”.
The creation of InFluCat responds to the growing interest of companies and organizations in Catalonia in having specialized public affairs and strategic communications consultancy services focused on the ground in the Catalan ecosystem and environment. Catalonia, with Barcelona as its epicenter, is one of the main economic poles in Europe, and its political and business scenario requires specific knowledge that Enrique Opi is fully qualified to offer.
