Spain, the Gateway to Latin America
Spain and South America
As the second-largest foreign investor in the region, Spain offers a proven ecosystem and deep cultural affinities that reduce expansion costs and complexity, making it a strategic fulcrum for long-term growth in Latin America. However, real-time assessments and a multi-entry strategy are recommended, as Latin America’s development will be shaped by its young, urbanizing population, geopolitical tensions, and opportunities from nearshoring, digital transformation, and green energy investments, despite challenges like inequality and infrastructure gaps. Cross-border collaborations, including the EU–Mercosur deal and initiatives by China and the USA, will further redefine the region’s role in global supply chains.
In the Spain & LATAM region, we cover the following geographies:
- Spain
- Mexico
- Colombia
- Argentina
- Chile
- Brasil
