Google Opens Latin American Headquarters in Argentina
El Diario/La Prensa, Posted: Apr 18, 2007
BUENOS AIRES - Internet giant Google announced last week that it will open offices in Buenos Aires, reports Spanish news service EFE in Spanish-language newspaper El Diario/La Prensa. The Buenos Aires offices will serve as headquarters for all of Google's Latin American operations. Latin America is the fastest growing market for the search engine giant, according to the report. Previously, Google's only offices were in the United States and Ireland. The company made a foray into Latin America by opening offices in Mexico and Brazil, but now it will center its operations in Argentina. "Latin America is the fastest growing Internet business region in the world," said Google executive director Eric Schmidt. "It is growing faster than Asia, the U.S. and Europe." Schmidt said Buenos Aires was selected because it had the right ingredients for Google's launch in the region.
