Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Technology landscape. The Fintech revolution. The Scenarios ahead.

BayBrazil Latin America Digital Summit will kick off this Friday (19) in Los Gatos, Silicon Valley. Great leaders, speakers and moderators from the Tech and Investment worlds will give their view of the tech landscape, the Fintech revolution and the scenarios for investments in Latin America.

In a recent article titled Latin America: Today’s Next Investment Frontier, published in Thomson Reuters West Law, Foley & Lardner LLP Silicon Valley Partner André Thiollier, one of the Summit’s moderators, wrote about the impressive numbers of Latin America’s deals and investments in 2020-2021. He points out that

“Latin America VC investments have skyrocketed over the past years to unprecedented levels from US$4.3 billion in 2019 to US$ 11.5 billion in 2021, including Q3 estimates in the most recent report issued by the Association for Private Capital Investment in Latin America (LAVCA). A total of US$18.6 billion will pour into the region by the end of 2021, a staggering 250% increase in investments when compared to US$5.3 billion deployed in 2020.

Latin America has seen a boom of tech companies with the number and value of unicorns nearly doubling every year. Startups such as Brazil’s Nubank, Ebanx and Unico, Mexico’s Kavak and Bitso, Argentina’s Mercado Libre and Colombia’s Rappi are some of the 20+ LatAm’s unicorns as of Q3 2021 with some of them reaching decacorn status.“
