Argentina enjoys a growing reputation for innovation and technological progress – especially in the fields of IT, e-commerce and finance. Home to several top technology companies and start-ups, Argentina has become a leading center for technology and innovation in South America. Germany offers exciting business prospects, promising growth opportunities and expansion possibilities for these sectors in particular. “We are keen to bring this potential together,” explains Ellen Bommersheim, Managing Director of Kompass Frankfurt. “That’s why we are particularly pleased about the visit of the Argentinian consul here at Kompass. This is a prelude to further concrete projects to motivate founders from Argentina to gain a foothold here in Germany.“
Kompass Frankfurt supports founders and entrepreneurs from Argentina and Latin America who are interested in expanding to Germany or starting a business here. The center for business start-ups with an international network provides comprehensive advice and important insights into the German business landscape “We offer tailor-made support when it comes to entering the German market and offer professional support on the way to a successful business,” explains Ellen Bommersheim, Managing Director of Kompass Frankfurt.
The experts at Kompass are very familiar with the challenges and hurdles that foreign founders and start-ups face. “Cultural differences, bureaucratic requirements and ultimately language barriers can slow down motivated founders,” explains Adriana Castillo, consultant at Kompass. “This is where we can provide targeted support with our many years of expertise and experience. Our workshops cover topics such as business and financial planning, legal forms, insurance and taxes, trademark protection, financing, administrative procedures and registrations.”
Other important topics include the identification of sectors in demand and individual market opportunities, legal aspects and regulations as well as the culture and customs of German business life. This is where Kompass offers a holistic approach.
The central point of contact for Argentinian founders and start-ups is also the Argentinian consulate in Frankfurt. “It is important to us to support Argentinian entrepreneurs in expanding their own business in Germany. This is a decisive step towards positioning Argentina as an international provider. We are therefore delighted to be able to provide targeted support through our collaboration with Kompass,” explains Roberto Diez, Consul General of the Argentine Consulate in Frankfurt.
