Going Digital in Latin America
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everyday activities in Latin America, accelerating a shift toward digitization across diverse sectors. To explore the challenges and opportunities to deepen this digital transformation, the Wilson Center’s Latin America Program launched a major new initiative, “Going Digital in Latin America.” As part of “Going Digital,” the Wilson Center has hosted a series of high-level dialogues, addressing digital trade, the digital workforce, financial technology, remote education, and privacy and cybersecurity. These activities have taken place online and in Buenos Aires, Panama City and Washington, and in partnership with industry leaders and institutions from the US and Latin America.
