WASHINGTON, D.C. / BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA — The Hispanic Retail Chamber of Commerce (HRCOC), headquartered in Washington, D.C., will participate in the AmCham Trade & Investment Conference 2026, following an invitation from AmCham Argentina, the American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina. HRCOC will contribute its experience and perspective on commercial opportunities and strategies for entering and developing business in the U.S. market.
The event, titled “Argentina and the United States: A New Landscape of Business Opportunities,” will take place on October 28, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Santander Auditorium, Av. Paseo Colón 1380, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Representing HRCOC, Daniel Esteban Novoa, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder, will speak on “How to Sell in the United States: Channels, Strategic Partnerships, and Market Access.” His presentation will focus on practical insights for Argentine companies seeking to enter, expand, and establish a sustainable presence in the U.S. market.
The conference brings together public- and private-sector stakeholders to examine bilateral trade opportunities, highlight strategic industries, and provide businesses with practical tools and experiences to support international expansion and commercial development.
Beyond Exporting: Building a Commercial Presence in the United States
The United States offers a large and diverse marketplace. However, entering this market requires more than a competitive product and the ability to export.
Companies must understand commercial channels, identify the right buyers, establish strategic partnerships, and recognize the specific requirements of their target market segments. These factors can make the difference between a one-time export transaction and a sustainable business operation.
During his presentation, Novoa will address key considerations for developing business in the United States, with particular attention to retail, distribution channels, and the commercial relationships that connect manufacturers and suppliers with the broader U.S. business ecosystem.
His presentation will offer Argentine companies a practical framework for evaluating opportunities, understanding market dynamics, and developing entry strategies aligned with their products, capabilities, and growth objectives.
The supermarket and consumer goods sectors are particularly relevant for companies seeking to expand their brands and explore new distribution opportunities. Selecting the appropriate channel, preparing a competitive commercial proposition, and identifying the right business partners are essential steps in developing an effective market-entry strategy.
The challenge is not simply entering the U.S. market. It is understanding how to operate within it, build meaningful commercial relationships, and create opportunities for sustainable growth.
