Casa Ecuador is the cultural and environmental diplomacy platform of TEON (The Embassy of Nature), an international institution founded and chaired by Luis Felipe Fernández-Salvador y Campodonico, 6th Marquis of Lises. Conceived as one of the most visible initiatives among the various activities that form part of the cultural capitalism agenda advanced by the TEON cause, Casa Ecuador transforms the country’s identity, culture, and natural heritage into assets for international projection. Through immersive experiences that bring together art, nature, design, gastronomy, music, sport, and innovation, the platform presents a contemporary and sophisticated narrative of Ecuador to global audiences.
Following editions in Paris, Madrid, Abu Dhabi, Mar-a-Lago, Guayaquil, Quito, Miami, and New York, Casa Ecuador is entering a new phase of expansion across Europe and the United States, consolidating its role as an instrument of cultural diplomacy, international positioning, investment attraction, and nation branding, based on a model designed with the potential to be replicated in other countries.
This initiative forms part of TEON’s broader vision: to demonstrate that identity, culture, and natural heritage can become drivers of influence, development, and prosperity, and that the preservation of nature can generate economic and strategic value for nations.
The TEON cause thus seeks to advance a new paradigm in which conservation also becomes a means of creating wealth, connecting culture, nature, capital, and international relations to transform the protection of natural heritage into an opportunity for the future.
