Entering the German Market
Germany is a challenging market. Our experience shows:
- South American companies benefit from partnerships with German experts who can assess market potential and guide initial steps in sales or company setup.
- Direct investments should only be considered once a product or service is adapted and tested in practice.
- A practical market trial provides the security needed before larger investments.
Opportunities for German Companies in South America
German companies look for competent partners who can:
- Evaluate the potential success of products or concepts
- Analyze market opportunities
- Identify suitable cooperation partners
Partner search and collaboration are therefore highly sought-after services.
Opportunities for South American Companies in Germany
For South American companies, there is significant potential in:
- Targeted market exploration
- Finding strategic partners in German-speaking countries
The German-speaking market comprises 130 million consumers with high purchasing power—this is where our team and network excel.
Our Approach
We firmly believe in the economic potential of South America and the Spanish-speaking world, markets often underestimated from a European perspective.
Together with my team, I look forward to helping you establish a successful presence in German-speaking countries.
