From beautiful beaches and a thriving arts scene to pulsing music and countless cultural festivals, there are many compelling reasons to base your business in Buenos Aires. Yet opening a regional headquarters in the city brings with it more practical considerations, including access to talent, the promise of the IT sector, and the processes and costs involved in running a business in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the country continues to recover from a recession, the Argentine government is doing its best to attract outside investment. In 2017, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched the U.S.\u2013Argentina Business Council with the aim of solidifying economic and commercial relations<\/a>. Since then, the local government has also made strides in lifting foreign-exchange controls<\/a>, increasing trade with other countries, and introducing another type of recognized company\u2014the Simplified Share Company\u2014to make it easier for entrepreneurs and foreign startups to register operations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a GDP that’s expected to grow by 2.3 percent<\/a> in 2020, long-standing industries like textiles, food processing, and automobile manufacturing continue to bolster the nation’s economy<\/a>. Plus, areas like telecommunications, tech, renewable energy, education, financial services, and tourism are rapidly gaining traction. Today, you can register a company at cost of a few hundred U.S. dollars, and the city is already home to some of Latin America’s largest conglomerates\u2014including Mercado Libre, which is the Latin answer to eBay, and the giant travel company Despegar.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of suitable neighborhoods in Buenos Aires for setting up your office headquarters\u2014each with its own unique blend of culture, business, and talent. Here are five great barrios for opening a headquarters in Buenos Aires<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
