Ignacio Galán attends state dinner with the Emir of Qatar and Donald Trump

Ignacio Galán, Executive Chairman of Iberdrola, attended the state dinner hosted by the Emir of Qatar in honour of the visit of the President of the United States, Donald Trump. This event brought together a select group of business and political leaders, highlighting the importance of international relations and collaboration between nations.

During the dinner, Galán reaffirmed Iberdrola's commitment to the United States, the company's main destination for investments. In the last 20 years, Iberdrola has invested $50B in the US and plans to add another $20B by the end of the decade to modernise, expand and digitise grid infrastructures. The company also has 10,500 MW in operation in the generation business. 

The relationship between Iberdrola and Qatar dates back to 2011, when the Qatar Investment Authority became the company's largest shareholder. Since then, the two organisations have collaborated on various initiatives, including a research and development centre in Qatar focused on smart grids and digitalisation. This strategic partnership has strengthened Iberdrola's position as a leader in the global energy sector.
