The Canary Islands' strategic location between Europe, Africa, and the Americas creates opportunities for trade and logistics. The islands serve as a logistics hub with ports and duty-free zones. Indian exports to the Canary Islands include textiles and garments, pharmaceuticals, food products, and consumer goods. The islands' tourism industry and retail sector provide market opportunities for Indian products. The honorary consulate can provide information and contacts for business inquiries related to the Canary Islands market.

The honorary consulate provides limited business facilitation including information about local business environment, contacts with local chambers of commerce and business associations, and referrals to appropriate resources. For comprehensive business support, contact the Embassy of India Madrid commercial section (sscom.madrid@mea.gov.in) or Consulate General in Barcelona. The Canary Islands' business sectors include tourism, logistics, renewable energy, maritime services, and agriculture.

As an honorary consulate with limited services, Indian nationals requiring full consular services should use BLS International Tenerife or contact the Embassy in Madrid.
