Speaking on a panel at the dinner were Paula Bellizia, the vice president of Amazon Web Services in Latin America; Henrique Dias, co-founder and CEO of NoHarm.ai, an artificial intelligence healthcare platform; and Athina Kanioura, the CEO of Latin America for PepsiCo, which sponsored the event.
“We see a lot of white space for big companies to invest, drive growth, drive differentiation, drive innovation,” Kanioura said. She said that PepsiCo has been growing at a faster pace in Latin America than in any other region in the world.
“We have very talented people. What we don’t have here is money” said Dias, whose company operates in Brazil as a non-profit that provides free AI services to the public health sector.
“But we don't have that kind of money that [is] in North America,” he added. “But we have very clever people, very clever companies.”
“Technology is hitting us, is coming towards us in a positive way in terms of really bringing more wealth and bringing opportunity for people,” Bellizia said.
When asked what is required to continue Latin America’s steady pace of economic and technological growth, Bellizia said: “What this continent lacks is infrastructure. It doesn't lack talent. It doesn't lack drive. It doesn't lack resilience. But for you guys to have the technology that you need, you need data centers. For data centers to be there, you need infrastructure. You need water.”
“We need to invest in national technology to be more independent from the rest of the world and to be independent ourselves,” he said.
