Regional efforts to advance digital transformation and technological literacy continue to expand across Latin America and Spain. 

In Latin America, initiatives focus on specialized applications and entrepreneurship. Paraguay’s Expo TSV gathered approximately 400 specialists to discuss how artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data analysis can enhance criminal investigations and smart city management. Honduras launched the 2026 Digital SME and AI Workshop in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula to teach entrepreneurs how to use AI for web development and digital payments. In Mexico, the Yucatán region is promoting its digital economy through Digital Economy Week, involving companies such as Google and Meta, with the goal of supporting up to 2,500 businesses in technology adoption.

In Argentina, Banco de Corrientes has continued its efforts to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through the relaunch of its e-commerce platform, Tienda Más BanCo. During a recent SME conference, the bank highlighted the platform’s ability to offer new financing and artificial intelligence tools to help local merchants and entrepreneurs grow.

In Venezuela, the National Center for Information Technologies and the Venezuelan University of Hydrocarbons established a cooperation agreement to promote digital autonomy through training in free software development, cybersecurity, and open tools such as GNU/Linux and Python.

In Spain, digital training and business support have become increasingly localized. In Navarra, digital competency certification tests aligned with the European DIGCOMP framework are being used to provide official accreditation of skills, while Consorcio EDER has implemented a strategic management program for small businesses. In Tui, the CEMIT Classroom hosts workshops for individuals over 55 on mobile technology and digital banking. Other regional efforts include the ADEME CONECTA network for rural entrepreneurs in Castilla y León, entrepreneurship events in Coria, and technology support for women in Castellón.
