Latin American entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives

Overview

Regional entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives are being promoted through various support programs and recognition ceremonies in Latin America.

In Mexico, the administration of Governor Julio Menchaca Salazar is supporting entrepreneurs with disabilities through programs like ‘Vive independiente’ and events such as the San Francisco Pachuca 2026 Fair. These efforts focus on fostering autonomy and self-employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

In Chile, efforts to decentralize technology and stimulate economic development include the inauguration of the Hub Alto Hospicio Innovation and Prototyping Center, which provides access to advanced technological tools for local ventures. Additionally, the tenth InspiraTEC 2026 awards recognized regional STEM entrepreneurs for innovations in fields such as circular bioeconomy, artificial intelligence for education, and technology designed to support students on the autism spectrum.
