According to the Inter-American Development Bank, small- and medium-sized businesses create 67% of employment in Latin America but receive only 12% of total credit. This funding gap is a key barrier to creating a stronger and more inclusive economy in the region with the world’s highest level of inequality.
In this workshop, we will share how we leverage innovation in investment instruments and due-diligence partnerships in order to empower small- and medium-businesses through capital and support. The audience will participate in a dynamic brainstorming session to share best practices and new ideas that can increase the inclusivity of access to capital for SMEs in Latin America.
