Networking is a globally accepted phenomenon and recognized to be an important part of any business's success.
As Earl G. Graves states in his book, How To Succeed in Business Without Being White , "Networking is recognizing that our success as individuals is guaranteed only if we succeed as a community.
It is all about leveraging contacts and personal relationships for our mutual and long-term benefit."
Costa Networking also contribute their recent growth and success down to the influx of Northern Europeans relocating to Spain in recent years. Costa Networking is a business to business (B2B) network that provides its members with various means and mediums for networking in Spain . Members seek to expand their client base, increase referrals and make contact with key people in positions of influence. |
Every month, multi-national groups of English speaking business people in Spain meet at Forum lunches in which the atmosphere is relaxed and informal.
There are currently over 300 Members of Costa Networking and this is growing daily, business people include representatives from Spanish banks, financial services, lawyers, accountants, estate agents, IT and communications experts, the media, small business enterprises and anyone seeking to enhance their business career or personal profile.
“The Network is all about finding synergy through systematically building relationships with professionals” says Adrian Strong, founder and Managing Director of Costa Networking . Adrian continues “Networking the right way is all about getting results”. |

Costa Networking originated with a forum in Nerja and has since grown to include monthly meetings in different locations across and up the Coast of Spain , Costa Blanca and Gibraltar .
