During the visit, the delegation gained insights into Mondragon's cooperative model from Ander Etxeberria, Director of Cooperative Dissemination at the Mondragon Group. They also explored Danobatgroup's industrial vision and history with Nerea Aranguren and discussed the challenges of the sector regarding the recruitment of talent with Iker Usabiaga, Danobatgroup's Director of Social Management.
 
The visit concluded with a tour of both Danobatgroup’s facilities and the Ideko research centre, the group's hub of innovation.

 
This visit was part of a broader business mission to the Basque Country on 5–6 November, aimed at identifying collaboration opportunities between Nouvelle Aquitaine, the Basque Country, and Navarre.
 
Nouvelle Aquitaine is France’s largest region by area, situated in the south-west and home to approximately six million people across 12 départements, with Bordeaux as its capital. It is a diverse and dynamic region, where tradition meets modernity and has established itself as a key driver of economic and cultural growth in France, with major sectors in aerospace, technology, and innovation.
 
The region actively participates in cross-border cooperation, especially with the Basque Country and Navarre, through ongoing collaborations in tourism, transport, research, and sustainable development, particularly in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques area.
