We are proud to invite you to attend the Latin American Tech Day, an event that will happen during London Tech Week, to connect with some of the most innovative companies from Latin America, a region with 568M inhabitants and 780M cellphones (2015). Unicorns are popping up and scale-ups are expanding abroad every year. International investment funds are increasing their connections in the region looking for opportunities. This is the next innovative frontier! After the panels of discussion we will have the Latam Edge Award 2019, the only award for Latin American scale-ups that want to expand to the UK and Europe, by bringing finalists in to deliver their final pitch.
