IDB Lab 107d ago

At the IDB Group Business Forum, this session brings together leading investors and high-growth technology companies to explore how Latin America and the Caribbean can expand investment in innovation-driven businesses. By combining the perspectives of venture capital leaders and entrepreneurs building and scaling technology solutions, the discussion examines where capital is flowing, where critical financing gaps remain—particularly at early and growth stages—and what is needed to mobilize greater private and institutional investment into the region’s innovation economy. The conversation also offers a practical perspective on how investors assess risk and opportunity, how innovative firms navigate the capital landscape, and how IDB Lab, the innovation and venture arm of the IDB Group, works to catalyze innovation finance and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem across Latin America and the Caribbean. Moderator Graham Macmillan, Chief Executive Officer, IDB Lab Panelists Jazmin Gustale Gill, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Ithink VC (Paraguay) Bianca Martinelli, General Partner, Alexia Ventures (Brazil) Yonadav Buber, CEO, BaroMar (Israel) Pablo Zamora, President, Fundación Chile
