From Terrestrial to Celestial: Unlocking the Potential to Enhance U.S.-Latin American B2B Collaboration
Brought to you by
Please join the CSIS Americas Program, in partnership with the Information Technology Industry Council’s Space Enterprise Council, for an in-depth look at the business-to-business landscape in Latin America, with a particular focus on the space and technology sector.
The last ten years have seen marked growth in the aerospace sectors of key space nations in Latin America. Across economies as diverse as Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, startups and joint ventures are joining large aerospace and technology manufacturing companies to meet demand from national space programs. Amidst policy shifts prioritizing deeper economic engagement between the United States and economies in the region, opportunities exist for enhanced business-to-business collaboration among companies engaged in space and other advanced technologies.
This event will feature industry leaders from across Latin America and the United States as they discuss prospects, trends, and challenges for enhanced business-to-business collaboration, in space and beyond.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
