Our Story

MDEU was created to offer something different: practical, accessible support that makes a true impact. We’re a nonprofit organization passionate about helping people. With over 18 years of diplomatic experience in economic affairs and negotiation, our founding team has helped 258 SMEs, raised over $4M in equity and loans, and built a strong venture capital network. We’ve done it in Silicon Valley, and now we’re bringing that success to Germany and Mexico.

You don’t need to be Mexican or German—we offer our services to anyone interested in these markets.

We’re changing the game for entrepreneurs and businesses who need real, hands-on support. Whether you're running a family-owned business, upskilling to land a new job, or trying to break into the German or Mexican market as an established business, we're here to help you suceed.
