Argentina is increasingly recognised by the German economy as a strategic partner with great growth potential, particularly in the areas of energy, lithium, copper and agricultural products. The Hanseatic City of Hamburg is a globally important gateway for trade with the entire Latin American region.
In 2022, Hamburg's First Mayor Dr Peter Tschentscher signed a cooperation agreement in Buenos Aires on sustainable urban development, digitalisation, climate protection, start-ups and the hydrogen economy. Due to its climatic conditions, Argentina is predestined for the production of renewable energies and green hydrogen - perfect for Hamburg's energy import strategy.
With its outstanding cultural scene, Buenos Aires is a kind of cultural capital of South America. The internationally renowned universities have a large number of collaborations and double degree programmes with Hamburg universities.
