Firstly, the relevance of the Spanish foreign sector was highlighted as a key element for the recovery of the country's economy, as well as the impact of the pandemic on the sector and on the internationalization process of Spanish companies.
On the other hand, in the international context, it was revealed how the health crisis has unleashed a series of challenges to globalization, since it has accelerated trends that have been observed in recent years, such as the resurgence of protectionism.
