What began as a visit to a friend in Bulgaria in 2004 evolved into a strategic venture. Recognizing the country’s potential on the eve of its EU accession, a group of entrepreneurs from South Tyrol established Lotse to help businesses navigate and succeed in emerging markets.
Today, from our offices and partner network across Europe, we continue to act as a pilot, guiding companies toward international growth and stability.
From our roots in South Tyrol and Bulgaria, we now guide you with a network spanning global markets.

To meet growing client needs, the company expands by opening new offices in Romania, Turkey and Serbia.
