Chile is known as the most technologically advanced, most “wired and connected” country in Latin America, for attracting top talent in tech and having the best developers in Latin America, having a great business climate, and sharing a time zone with North America. Following the presentation, Araceli Guenther from Victrix Global moderated a Q&A session and group discussion about how nearshoring is globalizing digital transformation. After the program, networking continued with some of Chile's top tech companies and leading entrepreneurs from Kunder, Nisum, Arkanosoft, Magnet, Linets, Adevcom, Jumpitt Labs, and Zenta.
