Technology is redefining competitiveness in many sectors.
Digital technology makes people's lives easier, empowers consumers, and connects citizens with each other and with their governments. But the digital revolution has not spread with the same intensity throughout all Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Connectivity varies from country to country and across different social segments.
The region needs universal, reliable, and large-scale access to broadband for the digital era to pay off. LAC have made progress, but significant inequities still exist.
Our Strategy
We rely on the strength of the IDB Group with more than 60 years’ experience and 26 offices in the region. IDB works with countries on regulatory frameworks and public investment in telecommunications, media, and technology.
Furthermore, IDB Lab, which is part of the IDB Group, implements pilot projects and early-stage investments to test new business models and, if successful, take them to scale. At IDB Invest we build on that experience.
