ABOUT LATIN AMERICA BUSINESS FORUM
Confederation of Danish Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CBS have created Latin America Business Forum as an attempt to change the status of Latin America with the Danish companies. The objective of the network is not to promote Latin America unreservedly. Our goal is to inform about regional opportunities and threats, strengths and weaknesses, in an objective and professional manner. We believe that Latin America has tremendous untapped potential for Danish companies but we also acknowledge the challenges.
