Organized by the Inter-American Development Bank and the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce of Jamaica through Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), Outsource2LAC Global Digital Services Summit – Jamaica 2023 promises to be a unique space for Latin American and Caribbean digital services companies to reach new markets across the globe.
Outsource2LAC is a long-standing initiative by the IDB's Integration and Trade Sector, spanning over a decade, aimed at unleashing the full potential of our countries in the fast-growing global digital services industry. Outsource2LAC highlights the significant benefits that this dynamic industry can bring to the economies of our region, including creating high-value jobs, technology transfer, a surge in foreign direct investment, and a diversified export market, and covers a wide range of topics related to the digital economy in various verticals such as automation, logistics, animation, video games, agtech, fintech, software applications, and e-commerce solutions, to name a few.
Building on the success of eight previous editions of Outsource2LAC (seven in-person and one virtual) and leveraging the ConnectAmericas business community, Outsource2LAC Global Digital Services Summit – Jamaica 2023 will convene multinational corporations, startups, entrepreneurs, and trade promotion organizations to explore the latest trends in digital technologies and identify new international business opportunities through B2B and B2G matchmaking meetings.
The regional Summit, hosted in a single country, is a platform where participants from Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and North America can discuss the newest developments and innovations in their fields. Thus, the event's agenda has an international perspective to bring together a diverse range of ideas.
