Latin America is home to more than 650 million people, rapidly growing digital economies, and significant opportunities for ambitious startups looking beyond traditional markets. But succeeding in LATAM requires more than a market opportunity assessment. It demands an understanding of the region's complexity, diverse business cultures, and unique pathways to market.
Join us during Auckland Startup Week as industry experts, ecosystem leaders, and founders share practical insights on entering and scaling across Latin American markets.
We'll explore where the opportunities lie, what founders need to know before taking the leap, and the lessons learned from businesses already operating in the region. From navigating market nuances and regulatory considerations to building the right partnerships on the ground, this session will provide a realistic and actionable view of expanding into LATAM.
Whether you're actively considering international growth or simply curious about the region's potential, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges, as well as valuable new connections across the New Zealand and Latin American business communities.
A light breakfast will be served on arrival, and stay on after the panel for networking with fellow founders, investors, and LATAM market specialists.
