In recent years, Latin America has emerged as a dynamic hub for technological advancement, leveraging innovation to address societal challenges and propel economic growth. With a population of 660 million and a GDP of $6 trillion, LatAm ranks the world's third-largest economy, boasting a youthful population surpassing even China and the United States in demographic dividends. The region tops global usage of major social media platforms and is now home to the world's largest digital banks and most advanced 'payments' systems. This panel will spotlight initiatives propelling LatAm's digital transformation—from fostering a vibrant startup culture to promoting digital inclusivity. Join our panelists as they highlight the driving forces behind the ascendancy of Brazil, the region’s tech powerhouse, as well as Chile, Colombia and other LatAm tech hubs that are assuming pivotal roles in shaping the new world's digital landscape.
