Judith Tsimi represented the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator at the Rio Innovation Week (12-15 August 2025), one of the largest innovation and technology gatherings in Latin America and the Caribbean.
She spoke on the panel “Unveiling Frontiers” alongside Karen Piñeros, Co-founder of Black Communications, and Leonardo Neto, CEO of Usina de Startups.
Together, they discussed the challenges and opportunities of EU-LATAM collaborations and how innovation ecosystems can find common ground to grow together and generate real impact on their respective economies.
Partnerships between European, South American, and Caribbean companies pave the way for complementary know-how and resources, offering a valuable testing ground and access to rapidly growing markets. These collaborations facilitate knowledge transfer, local adaptation of innovations, and the development of solutions with significant social and environmental impact. They also strengthen the international competitiveness of the stakeholders involved and accelerate their global reach.
