Next Tech Frontier: How Latin America Does It Best | Global Conference 2025
Rodrigo Bettini, Julio Vasconcellos, Roberto Campos Neto, Cesar Carvalho, Maya Dadoo, Scott Sobel, Cesar Gonzalez
Despite receiving a fraction of the venture capital allocated to other emerging markets, Latin American startups are generating superior global-scale outcomes through a unique combination of resilient talent, supportive public sector innovation, and venture funds outperforming global indices. Key success stories like WellHub and Worky illustrate how founders are leveraging regulatory tailwinds, such as Brazil's PIX system and Mexico's labor law reforms, to build defensible moats and achieve rapid international expansion. This trajectory is further accelerated by the Central Bank of Brazil's push for tokenization and Open Finance, which are dismantling legacy barriers and positioning the region as a future hub for programmable financial infrastructure and cross-border capital efficiency.

Banking on an Inclusive Future | Global Investors' Symposium Mexico City 2024
Rodrigo Bettini, Gabriela Zapata, Ruben Coppel, Tonatiuh Rodríguez Gómez
The Milken Institute convened a panel to analyze financial inclusion strategies in Mexico, highlighting how institutions like Banco Azteca and Banco BanCoppel leverage physical retail networks to serve the 81% of the population earning under $600 monthly. Experts emphasized that true inclusion requires moving beyond basic account access to generate wealth, noting that rigid regulatory frameworks currently hinder the unbanked by failing to accommodate volatile income streams and informal credit histories. Looking ahead, the discussion underscored the necessity for hybrid service models combining digital tools with face-to-face interactions and called for regulatory sandboxes to test differentiated rules that better support low-income demographics ahead of global climate and economic summits.
