The Continental Bridge North America Inc. was founded in June 2001 (originally under the name German Business Centre North America Inc.) with the goal to provide companies from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland a base and launching platform for entering the Canadian and US markets. Since, we have expanded our team to also support Canadian and American companies on their journey to launch or expand their business in the European markets.
