Panamanian technological and STEM advancement

Overview

Panama has demonstrated significant engagement in regional technological and educational initiatives. In late August 2026, the country achieved historic representation at the Women in Tech LATAM Awards, with eight finalists nominated across various categories. This recognition included diverse participants ranging from students to established professionals. Concurrently, the WISS LATAM summit was held in Panama City, gathering female leaders and entrepreneurs from over 12 countries to discuss innovation and digitalization.

By early September 2026, Panamanian participation in STEM-focused programs continued as the country advanced to the bootcamp phase of Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow competition. Panama was one of 13 countries selected from a record number of submissions. The participating teams are set to undergo training in design thinking and prototyping to develop solutions for challenges related to sustainability, the environment, and accessibility.
