Latin America IP SME Helpdesk invites you to their event
About this event
With a population of more than 650 million inhabitants, 33 countries and four large trading blocks (Central America, the Andean Community, the Pacific Alliance and Mercosur), Latin America is a very attractive market for European SMEs that want to expand their sales areas, find new business opportunities or start in a growing industry, which has an abundance of public and raw material in Latin America.
In this context, protecting the brand and knowing how to manage the innovation generated is key to differentiating yourself from other competitors and doing so in a sustainable manner.
Join State of Bavaria Office for South America, AHK -Chile and Latin America IP SME Helpdesk, to learn about the economic challenges and opportunities that EU SMEs might find in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru, as well as their particularities in terms of Intellectual Property, and learn how to make this a lucrative business tool throughout the process (from creation to sale, through production and distribution).
In addition, you will know more about the EU-funded initiatives supporting SME's internationalisation to Latin America and our expert in intellectual property will answer all your questions.
And do not forget to book your private appointment with our IP expert right after the event on the registration form, or for the day and time that suits you best here.
